Where is she now?

She is still very much in the United States of America and stated that she is (possibly) part of a band that plays for the cast and crew of the television series Dynasty. She is seen regularly posting pictures of herself and cast members of the television show on her social media handle, and she is using her dexterous skills on the piano to soothe the nerves of the cast after a long day filming on set.

Facts about Karen McCollum

The name Karen McCollum by itself may not immediately ring a bell by itself but when you mention that she is Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, then it would command some attention. Though not much is not about her entire life, we have researched 10 interesting facts about her that are very interesting and worth knowing:

1. She ran tracks in High School

Though very little was known about little Miss Karen while she was a student in Malvern High School, she took to her Instagram handle late 2019 to reveal that she was indeed part of the female tracks and fields team that won back to back women state championship way back in 1983 and 1984.

She shared a photo on her Gram handle thanking Superintendent Brian Golden and the school for choosing to honour the ladies that achieved this feat several years later.

2. She is Scottie Pippen’s first wife

Karen and Scottie were reported to have met at the very beginning of the 1980s and they struck a friendship which later developed into a romantic relationship and lasted for several years before they had a child together, and decided to tie the nuptial knots just a few later and thus she became the very first wife of then-budding basketball star (now a legend) Scottie Pippen.

3. They had a son together

After being in a relationship for about 7 years, both Karen and Scottie welcomed their very first child into the world on December 29, 1987, and the named their baby boy, Antron Pippen. The birth of the boy brought great joy to the pair who decided to take their relationship to the next level soon after that by getting married.

4. There was a case of infidelity during the marriage

Sometimes the life of a successful male athlete doesn’t go well as they planned as their fame and fortune make the women folk flock to them and many succumb to the temptations, and such was the case of Scottie Pippen – who simply could not remain loyal and exclusive to his wife before and after their marriage in 1988. He was reported to be daring another lady while still in a relationship with Karen and still continued with it throughout their marriage and even beyond it.

5. Divorce and keeping his last name

Due to Scottie’s extramarital affairs, while he was married to Karen, it came as no surprise when the couple announced that they were getting a divorce in 1990 – just 2 years after their celebrated marriage. Karen moved on with her life while Scottie was rumoured to have continued his affair with Chyvette Valentine- whom he dated between 1987 and 1993.

Karen, on the other hand, did not drop Pippen’s last name after their divorce, as she still goes by the name till this very day as she is not obligated by law to change her name after her divorce.

6. She plays the piano in a band

After the heartbreak that the dissolution of her marriage may have caused her in 1990, Karen quickly got herself together and devoted all her time to raising her son and towards pursuing her own passions- one of which was making music. She began playing the piano and joined a band called the 4Ground Band that plays classic Pop and blues songs for discerning minds and souls, and this still gives her great pleasure and fulfilment till this day.

7. Car gift for her son’s birthday

On her son’s birthday in 2018, she posted a picture of a brand new black Chevrolet Supercar with a red bow on it, and which has the word Pip painted on the side of the car, while wishing him a happy birthday. It was not clear who this car gift to her son was from anyway – whether it was her personal gift to him or one from his father, but one thing is clear though – Antron got a very pleasant gift on his day to make his smile much brighter.

8. Her son nearly took after his father

Antron’s father is one of the legends of the game of basketball in America and he nearly took after his father as well – and what a feat that would have been. Antron grew up and spent most of his life in Georgia and he was regarded as one of the best basketball prospects in College basketball way back then, but for some reasons he never made it to the NBA like his father.

9. She seems really religious

Most of Karen’s posts on her social media handles are religious in nature – in which she is either sharing biblical scriptures or reposting and hash-tagging possibly her church, 12 Stone Church. From most of her posts, it is clear that she is deeply religious and wants the whole world to know it.

10. She rocks a natural afro

In most of the pictures she posts on her Instagram handle, she can be seen rocking her natural hair all dome into a nice afro that seems to fit her personality just right. Not very many women can successfully pull off rocking the short afro, but she carries her with great grace and beauty.
