Travis Kelce in Hot Water for Controversial Move as He & Taylor Swift Are Hit with ‘Catastrophic’ Allegations. “If you’re defending this, you’re just as bad.”
Travis Kelce is currently under fire for allegedly rallying behind Shane Gillis’ recent Saturday Night Live monologue.
Gillis hosted the October 10 episode of the sketch comedy series, and he opened the show with insulting remarks about women. “I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know women just dress like w—s now,” he said. “Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe [it]. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. You’ve seen the shorts?”
The official SNL Instagram account posted Gillis’ monologue, and social media users noticed Kelce liked the post. Many have expressed their disappointment over Kelce’s move, with one fan on X writing, “Travis kelce liking that Shane Gillis snl video on Instagram is big f–king yikes. Also if you’re defending this you’re just as bad. Y’all need to hold your faves accountable when they f–ked up. Period.”
Another referenced Kelce’s wife, global pop icon Taylor Swift, saying, “It just astounds me how much she downgraded bc wtf is this man liking.”
In the aftermath, a source close to Kelce defended him and told Page Six that the Kansas City Chiefs player has “always been a massive fan of the show and he was supporting a friend.”
Still, he’s not completely off the hook, as Kelce and Swift are now facing backlash from their Ohio neighbors.
The Daily Mail recently reported that the NFL superstar and “Love Story” singer faced severe criticism at a village planning meeting on Tuesday, October 6. The newlyweds allegedly plan to build a six-foot fence and plant trees around their $5 million estate in Bratenahl, and their new neighbors are pushing back on the project.
The Daily Mail obtained transcripts from the meeting, where locals slammed the “absentee” couple for what they called a “tremendous blow” to the neighborhood’s “peace and quiet.”
