Malik Beasley owned up to his mistakes when he broke his silence on his highly publicized fling with Larsa Pippen, issuing a heartfelt apology to his estranged wife, Montana Yao, and their infant son, Makai.
“I wanna say sorry for putting you in the situation you were put in the last few months.. my head wasn’t were it was supposed to be,” the NBA star, 24, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 23, alongside a throwback photo of the model, 23, cradling their child, now 2. “I was looking for more when it was right here that whole time.. I’m telling the world and you that there’s no body like you for me.”
Yao, who filed for divorce from the professional athlete in December 2020 after photos of him holding hands with Larsa surfaced, took to her own Instagram story hours later to respond to his apology.
“Makai and I do appreciate Malik’s apology,” Yao wrote on her Instagram Story on Monday. “It’s hard to own up to bad decisions and apologize especially publicly so it is really appreciated.”
“My main priority has been and will forever be my son so I’m glad if/when he looks back om all of this one day he can see his dad publicly apologized to us for publicly hurting us.”

She added, “This is a step forward in healing for me and also having Malik be a part of Makai’s life because he does deserve to have a father in his life and one who loves him.”
She also had a lot to say about Larsa as well.
“@Larsapippen Your threats are good over here ma;am try somewhere else,” Yao wrote. “You really need to be put in check or something cause you really wildin out here thinking you bout to tell either Malik or I how to act. So now you got me hot and I’m not holding back no more.”
Yao called out Pippen for saying that she was in the wrong when really the roles were reversed.
“I been already told you to shut your trap because you embarrassed yourself enough already. Both of you were wrong as hell but YOU ma’am had the nerve to talk all that s–t to me as if I was wrong?” she wrote. “First of all we as women won’t claim you, you wouldn’t know girl code if it slapped you in the face you just a old desperate thirsty ass ran thru blow up doll.”
Yao accused Pippen of calling the pararazzi to tip them off and called her ‘sad and lame af.’
“You ran to the media because u needed everyone to think you ended with Malik cause you too embarrassed that you just keep getting passed around like a hot potato,” she wrote.
She then took aim at Pippen for never spending time with her kids and told her to work on herself.
“All those fillers and surgery can’t fix that insecure soul,” she wrote. “Go work on yourself, read a book, something to better your life while you still have the time.”
Meanwhile, Beasley and Pippen parted ways last month.
