What Larsa Pippen Told Preston Pippen Before Calabasas Confidential

by

Preston Pippen is getting real about his newfound reality TV fame.

Scottie and Larsa Pippen’s son was actually ready for all the attention from the new Netflix series, Calabasas Confidential. His mom, a star on Real Housewives of Miami, had given him some good advice beforehand.

Oh my gosh, Preston finally said what we’ve all been thinking! He told Erin Lim Rhodes that it was like, she just wanted to be him, which, honestly, relatable. But the real tea? He said you can’t trust anyone in this industry! We’re all friends, or pretend to be, but the second those cameras roll, everyone’s a totally different person. It’s so true! He gets it, you know? It’s just…everyone’s putting on an act.

And Larsa’s warning couldn’t have been more accurate.

As the 23-year-old added, “And that came true. So, I’m glad I took that.”

Being on the show meant Preston would need to talk about his family’s very public past, including Larsa’s expensive and highly publicized divorce from a famous basketball player, which became final in 2021. They have four children together, and he also has four older children from previous relationships.

Preston acknowledged he had some idea of what he was getting into, considering his parents’ history of conflict. He admitted that during their breakups and the resulting turmoil, he wondered if he wanted to repeat that experience.

However, he noted, “I’m a big boy now.”

During the first season of the show, the baker briefly dated fellow cast member Alexie Epstein.

I was so thrilled when Preston and Alexie finally got together – they had amazing chemistry! But when people ask if they’re still a couple now that filming has wrapped, he gets really evasive. It’s frustrating because we all want them to be happy, and his silence makes me wonder if things are okay between them.

“I’m gonna leave that in the dark,” he teased, “for now.”

What have Preston’s fellow cast members—including the children of celebrities like Master P and Bret Michaels—been doing since the first season ended?

Hercy is one of the nine children of hip-hop entrepreneur Percy “Master P” Miller. He is one of the seven children Percy shared with his former wife, Sonya Miller. Sadly, their daughter Tytyana passed away in 2022.

He first appeared on TV in 2015, as a cast member on Master P’s Family Empire alongside his siblings Romeo, Cymphonique, Veno, and Mercy. He later went on to college where he played basketball.

Hercy played basketball for multiple colleges and, in 2021, secured a $2 million endorsement deal with Front Office Sports. He then went on to graduate from Southern Utah University in 2025 with a degree in business.

I’ve always been struck by what he said in his Netflix bio for Calabasas Confidential – he truly believes everything he does goes beyond just making movies or TV. It’s about something much deeper, something bigger than entertainment itself.

The show also follows Hercy as he asks the NCAA for another year to play college basketball, after injuries kept him sidelined in the past. He was ultimately granted this request, and his father, Master P, revealed in February that he’s currently coaching him at the University of New Orleans.

At 19, Jodie is the youngest cast member, but she’s well-prepared for the attention that comes with being on TV. She learned how to handle online comments and public scrutiny by watching her older sister, Jordyn Woods, deal with fame as they lived together.

In a 2024 interview with Essence, Jodie explained that people often criticize others out of envy or because they had different life experiences. She added that she doesn’t pay attention to negativity online, because she’s confident in who she is and surrounded by supportive family and friends who matter most.

She was educated at home and, once she graduated, immediately started creating music and working as a beauty influencer.

Preston is one of Scottie Pippen’s eight children, and the second child born to Scottie and his ex-wife, Larsa Pippen. He is the sixth oldest of their children.

He attended the private Sierra Canyon High School, which counts Kylie Jenner, Ireland Baldwin, and Bronny James among its graduates, and had largely remained out of the public eye until recently.

He seems well-suited for reality television, as he describes himself as someone who isn’t afraid to speak his mind – even when others are.

The Sierra Canyon alum, who once shared a quick kiss with Preston back in high school, is now concentrating on building her modeling career and pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

She’s known as the person everyone asks for advice on things like healthy products, daily habits, vitamins, exercise, and other wellness tips. She even jokes that the Erewhon market is like a second home to her.

The fashion influencer, a close friend of Alexie’s, has openly shared her desire to find a long-term partner and start a family soon. She’s stated that she sees Alexie as a potential life partner, saying she doesn’t want to be with anyone who isn’t a possible future husband.

This social media star dreams of one day performing as a DJ at the Coachella music festival. But for now, she says she’s the one everyone comes to for the latest gossip.

“I naturally move between different circles,” she explained, “building connections from Sierra Canyon to Calabasas.”

Bret Michaels’ daughter, whose mother is Kristi Lynn Gibson, understands the downsides of growing up with a famous father. She says this leads her to often seem a bit shy or quiet.

“I trust dogs instantly,” she says, but “people have to earn it.”

Known for her life in Calabasas and her love of German shepherds, she started her career at 18 as a model for Sports Illustrated. Now, she’s working towards becoming a sports broadcaster.

The Calabasas High School and Indiana University alum plans to move to New York.

Even though Ben is currently on a reality TV show, he doesn’t want to lead the drama club. He says he’s only focused on basketball and his job.

He’s not just dressing the part—this Calabasas High School graduate actually rides horses and participates in local rodeo competitions.

In his personal life, Dylan was seen on a date in November, holding hands with Delilah Belle Hamlin, the daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin.

Emma says that if her younger, high school self could see her now, she’d think she’s very composed – and Emma herself would likely agree.

She’s returned to Calabasas and is focusing on launching a swimwear collection, aiming for a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle – and things are going well so far.

An aspiring influencer shared a TikTok on May 28th showing a group hug with her close friends, excitedly captioning it, ‘Filmed a reality show with my best friends hallelujah!’

After discovering she wasn’t the only one on the boat who had been with Dylan, she added to her profile, “I’ve learned not to share details about who I’ve kissed, thanks to this group of friends.”

This TikTok star has 3 million followers and wants to get along with everyone on the show.

Nicole says, despite appearances, she prefers to stay out of other people’s affairs, as stated in her online biography.

The newcomer from Alaska believes he offers a new perspective to the Calabasas team, explaining that he’s truly an outside voice.

Plus, this model isn’t looking for love on the show – he’s been dating Brynn Rumfallo, known from Dance Moms, since February 2024.

The influencer has gained a large following on Instagram – with 1.7 million followers – partly due to her past relationship with Kid Cudi and being seen partying with Drake.

She seemed perfectly suited for reality television, describing herself as the person people turn to for honest opinions, even when those opinions are difficult to hear.
