The ex-video vixen warned her co-hosts the lighthearted verbal jabs would get negative reactions.

The cast of The Joe Budden Podcast faces backlash for a discussion that took place on the show. Melyssa Ford’s choice of underwear sparked a series of jokes that left some viewers uncomfortable.

“Can we discuss the topic?” Joe Budden asked Melyssa Ford on a recent episode of the podcast. The Canadian former music video model answered, “Yes.”

While Melyssa Ford agreed to have the conversation about her panties on the podcast, she warned her male counterparts that the audience would “eat you up.”

Fellow co-host Antwan “Ish” Marby replied, “These girls are about to tear Mel’s ass up.” Joe Budden also added, “Yeah, I think she’s wrong. I think they’re gonna tear you up.”

Then Joe Budden, Ice, Ish, Queenzflip and Emanny proceeded to make fun of Melyssa Ford’s “granny panties” for nearly 10 minutes. A clip of the men joking about the Toronto native sparked negative responses from some X users.

“Yea this was super weird, sometimes them n##### act like they 17 with some of these conversations lol,” one person wrote on the X platform. Another X account posted, “This is weird but the fans are gonna defend it.”

Some devotees of the show did justify the sexually-tinged wisecracks directed at Melyssa Ford. For example, a supporter offered, “It’s weird but it has big brother little sister vibes.”

Another X account claimed, “This is the truest form of being one of the guys. Mel is comfortable, they’ve discussed if they can bring it up beforehand, I know it’s 2024 but some people can still have these relationships no matter how scared everyone else is.”

Other people implied Melyssa Ford could have a lot to expose about The Joe Budden Podcast in the future. Someone tweeted, “Yeah Mel going to go crazy with the tell-all books and interviews.” In addition, another person jokingly proposed, “Mel’s civil suit is going to ring [off] in the courtroom.”
