Donna Kelce disputes the attribution of an old viral tweet linked to his son, Travis Kelce.
Travis has been the subject of criticism in recent days after liking an Instagram video of Shane Gillis‘ controversial Saturday Night Live monologue. The attention also prompted fans to revisit alleged posts from what appears to be the Kansas City Chief’s X account, dating from 2009 to 2011.
Shane was widely criticized for a monologue that included a vulgar remark about women’s sportswear. The reported like drew increased scrutiny from some fans because Travis is married to Taylor Swiftwho has spoken publicly about feminism and women’s empowerment.
Several celebrities criticized Shaneis the monologue, but one person found it funny.
BuzzFeed published a closer look at these posts. The outlet said it could not independently verify the screenshots, while noting that The New York Times previously reported that Snopes had authenticated them.
A screenshot shows a tweet saying: “hahaha why can’t girls hide their fat? It’s mean!!!” Another reads: “I feel like if you want to be a cheerleader you have to take a beauty test…there are too many ugly cheerleaders here smh.”
A fan account re-shared this latest message on X on Saturday, and Donna responded that the username displayed was not Travis’s and that it was “not his account.”
Other articles highlighted by BuzzFeed include this one: “As a man, you have something wrong with you if you go for girls who weigh more than you! » Another includes the R-slur.
Travis has not publicly commented on the resurfaced messages.
