Jason Kelce has some regrets.
Days after a video of him smashing the phone of a man who allegedly called his brother Travis Kelce a homophobic slur over his romance with Taylor Swift vent viral, the former Philadelphia Eagles player is speaking out.
“I’m just gonna address it,” Jason told his brother in the Nov. 6 episode of their New Heights podcast. “I feel like it needs one more time and then hopefully we can stop talking about this really stupid situation.”
“I’m not happy about the situation, me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave the situation notoriety,” Jason told his brother. “That’s what I regret. It didn’t deserve attention, it’s really stupid.”
The father of three added that he wishes he simply hadn’t reacted to the heckler.
“If I just keep walking, it’s a f–king nothingburger, nobody sees it,” Jason said. “Now, it’s out there and it just perpetuates more hate.”
