Jason Kelce Caught Using Homophobic Slur in Heated Confrontation with Heckler
In a troubling incident, Jason Kelce was filmed using a homophobic slur multiple times after confronting a heckler outside Penn State University. The video, obtained by TMZ, captures the 36-year-old NFL star responding aggressively to a taunt about his brother Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
Heated Exchange
The altercation unfolded on Saturday, November 2, as Jason Kelce attended ESPN’s College GameDay ahead of the much-anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State football game. In the footage, Kelce can be heard repeatedly asking, “Who’s the f—— now?” after a heckler gets in his face, taunting him about Travis’s relationship.
The confrontation escalates when Kelce swats the heckler’s phone to the ground in frustration, demonstrating his anger over the offensive remarks made about his brother.
Close-Knit Brothers
Jason and Travis have always maintained a close relationship, even before their NFL careers took off. Jason was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, while Travis signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. They made history as the first brothers to compete against each other in the Super Bowl in 2023, with Travis’ Chiefs emerging victorious.
Reflecting on their sibling rivalry, Travis humorously remarked in his Saturday Night Live monologue, “The coolest thing about this Super Bowl was that my whole family was there. I got to play against my brother Jason, who is an Eagle, and my mom was on TV more than both of us.” He added, “You know, people keep asking me what it was like to beat my brother in the Super Bowl. And, um, it was pretty awkward especially because after the game we had to ride home together. Our mom drove us there in her minivan.”
Family Ties and Recent Developments
The Kelce brothers, sons of Ed and Donna Kelce, have forged strong family bonds, with Jason sharing three daughters with his wife, Kylie Kelce. The brothers have even launched a podcast called “New Heights,” where they discuss football and their personal lives. It was through their podcast that Travis famously landed his first date with Taylor Swift, whose presence has only deepened the family’s connections.
Since the start of Travis and Taylor’s relationship, Swift has integrated herself into the Kelce family, with Jason and Kylie even taking their daughters to one of Swift’s recent concerts. Jason expressed how the dynamic has changed, stating, “It’s been crazy [and] then Travis and Taylor have taken it to another level and that’s a whole other side of it.”
In light of this recent incident, Kelce’s comments have sparked conversations about accountability and the impact of language, especially among public figures. The backlash surrounding his choice of words serves as a reminder of the importance of sensitivity and respect in any public setting.
