Although Preston Pippen came from a reality TV family, his mother, Larsa Pippen, still had to give him a bit of advice about living his life in front of the cameras.

Preston is one of the stars of Netflix’s newest reality show, “Calabasas Confidential,” and in it, the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen opens up about his personal life as the offspring of famous parents.

In later episodes, Preston also gets close to one of his co-stars, Alexie Epstein.

Speaking with E! News, Preston said that his mother, “The Real Housewives of Miami” alum, Larsa, told him to be his authentic self while filming the series.

Additionally, Larsa, who has had her fair share of dramatic feuds on camera, gave her son another piece of advice about dealing with his co-stars.

“Don’t really trust anybody, because even though we’re all friends, once in front of a camera, people are gonna act different,” Preston said.

On the show, Preston speaks about being the product of divorced parents. (Larsa and Scottie separated in 2018 and divorced in 2021.)

However, Preston wasn’t afraid of speaking about his life, telling the outlet that he “kind of knew what I signed up for.”

That doesn’t mean signing on the dotted line was easy for him, though. He revealed that he asked himself whether the show was worth revisiting that challenging time in his life.

It clearly was, as he said, “I’m a big boy now.”

According to a previous report from The Blast, in the show, Preston opened up about his mother’s alleged affair with rapper Future and how that affected him.

“It was just all over the place. You would think, at that age, when you’re going to school, that it is safe and you’re dodging the drama at home,” he said. “People I thought were my friends would make jokes, and there’s already so much noise in the house.”

He shared that people at his school would mock him over the headlines, saying, “Kids at school, like my friends, would play music by a rapper that my mom was taking to at the time, and it was just sh-tty.”

While Larsa initially denied a connection with Future, she later confirmed that the pair had been in a “respectable relationship.”

“It wasn’t like a—it was just like we were friends and we needed each other at that moment. And that was basically it,” she said. “I think people make more of it. It’s just better conversation for people to say, oh she cheated on him, she this, she that. It was none of that. Scottie wasn’t even living at home with me.”

Speaking with her son, Mason Cibrian, Glanville praised the youngster’s girlfriend, Sarah Dower, revealing how much she loves her.

As the conversation went on, Glanville shared the story of the time she learned her son was no longer a virgin. “I remember realizing he wasn’t a virgin when I walked by his room, and I heard a spanking being given,” she said on camera.

“I was just like, ‘F-ck my life, my son is not a virgin anymore,’” she said before adding, “I think he was 15 or 16, and I was crying. I’m like, ‘I am so uncomfortable right now. But at least he’s giving a spanking at least. He’s got some moves.’”
