AceShowbiz - Jason Kelce's wife has received tons of support after she got into a screaming match with a rude fan in New Jersey. Kylie Kelce has been defended by fans after she confronted a woman who pestered the couple for a picture.
According to Philly-based podcast "Word to the Wise", the Kelces were headed into Steve & Cookies when they were stopped by someone wanting a picture outside the restaurant. The podcast, which obtained footage of the heated exchange, claimed the pair were either sitting in "traffic or in their car" when the woman tried to get their attention.
Multiple witnesses told the podcast that Kylie "politely" declined, explaining she's on a date with her husband, but the woman went off on the couple. In a video of the incident, the woman can be heard saying, "I don't care who you are, you will never be allowed in the town again." Kylie appeared to shout back, "I can smell the alcohol on your breath, you're embarrassing yourself," although some people claimed that she simply said, "Save your breath, you're embarrassing yourself."
A man wearing a blue shirt got between the two women to move the rude fan away from Kylie. In the meantime, Jason was standing a few feet away from Kylie and let his wife handle things. Despite the confrontation, the Kelces still had a "lovely evening, laughing and enjoying their meals," according to PhillyChitChat.
After the video went viral, many took Kylie's side. "What is wrong with this woman? The insane entitlement to think they owed her a photo and then to make a scene," one fan reacted to the video. "Kylie handled it but she should never have had to deal with that."
Another stated, "A lot of people really forget that famous people are humans and just like most of us want go out in public with their families and be left alone." Blaming the rude fan, a third weighed in, "People are wild. How do you get in a fight with the Kelces, two of the nicest people ever, while asking them for a selfie?! What is WRONG with people?"
"Nobody Owes anyone a picture/autograph out in public get over yourself ppl," another fan insisted. FOX29's Breland Moore chimed in, "Absolute weirdo behavior thinking strangers (famous or not) owe you something."
"Harassing people while they’re out on a date while drunk and being so entitled to scream at them/insult them because they refused to take a picture?" said another fan. "Kylie is better than me, I would've called the cops."
"Can you imagine being this much of a scumbag? Let Kylie and Jason enjoy their night. They don't owe you a damn THING," another fan slammed the woman in the video. One other defended the couple, "We got your back Kylie. Come back to Sea Isle!! #teamkelce."
Others, meanwhile, were amused by Jason's reaction in the video. "Why does this remind me of the sharks? Obviously Kylie didn't need help but Jason was steadily heading in the opposite direction," one fan commented, adding several face with tears of joy emojis. "Jason just looking like Kylie got this," another wrote. Someone else shared, "I love how Jason stands back cause he knows Kylie can handle her own."
Neither Jason nor Kylie has spoken up on the incident.
