Just days after Michael Jordan’s alleged “inappropriate” interaction with NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick’s 6-year-old son sparked heated controversy online, the child’s father has finally addressed the situation.
In multiple viral clips circulating from the 2026 Daytona 500 Victory Lane celebration, Jordan, co-owner of 23XI Racing, was slammed as “tone deaf” and even called a “creep” by some viewers over his gestures with the child.
Tyler, who races for the NBA legend’s team, further split the internet with his latest statements, with one critic saying, “So he’s cool with someone mo**sting his son as long as they’re rich and famous.”
