Jason Kelce’s former teammate stands up for Kylie Kelce post viral argument with fan in New Jersey
Kylie Kelce usually keeps a low profile on social media. However, she recently got into a viral argument with a fan.
In the video of Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce, Kylie appears to argue with a fan who made a scene over a refused picture request. Jason's former teammate and Hall of Famer Howie Long's son, Chris Long, showed his support to Kylie on Tuesday.
"Barking up the wrong tree lady lol," Long wrote, resharing the viral video on X.
Jason Kelce and Long played together in the 2017 season to win the Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles, beating the New England Patriots 41-33.
While Kelce announced his retirement from the Eagles in March, Long exited the league in 2019, five years before the former center.
How did Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce find themselves in an argument with a fan?
Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce were recently on a trip to New Jersey when they visited Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Margate City. On their way out, the two were approached by a fan who asked Jason for a picture.
However, Jason refused the request, which upset the fan, who created a scene. Jason's wife, Kylie, stood up for him.
"You’ll never be allowed in this town again," the fan screamed.
"I can smell the alcohol on your breath; you’re embarrassing yourself," Kylie replied.
The incident is going viral across social media and has reached the mayor of Margate City, who apologized to the couple through a Facebook post.
"On behalf of the City of Margate, I'd like to formally apologize to Jason & Kylie Kelce for the experience they had in Margate City over the holiday weekend," Margate City Mayor Michael Collins said in a statement. "As a father with young children, I know as well as anyone the importance of a date night with your wife and would like to offer a redo date night with dinner on me."
Even though many celebs have come forward to share their reactions, no one from the Kelce family has made a statement. Interestingly, Jason Kelce revealed during a new episode of the "New Heights" podcast that he had a great time in New Jersey despite the viral incident.
