In a recent episode of "The View," co-host Joy Behar openly criticized Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for his past tweets, which have recently resurfaced amidst rumors of his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift. The discussion on the show, led by Whoopi Goldberg, brought to light several of Kelce's tweets from 2010, which included disparaging comments about women.
Behar, expressing her disapproval, highlighted one of Kelce's since-deleted tweets that read, "damn the clippers girls gotta be the s----y girls that dont make the lakers girls team, cuz they all was ugly." She commented on Kelce's literacy and obsession with women's appearances, calling him "illiterate" and an "idiot." Behar, a self-proclaimed Swiftie, expressed her concern for Swift being associated with Kelce, given his past remarks.
Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin also weighed in on the matter, noting the generational aspect of growing up with social media. Hostin pointed out that Kelce has shown growth since his earlier tweets, suggesting that young people often make mistakes in their youth. Goldberg concluded the segment by reminding the audience that people change over time and that the public should be more forgiving of past indiscretions.
However, some fans have not overlooked Kelce's recent comments that echo his past behavior. In a February episode of the "New Heights" podcast, Kelce made a remark about needing to find a "breeder" to have children, which some found to be in poor taste.
This controversy comes amid growing interest in Kelce's personal life, especially regarding his rumored relationship with Taylor Swift. The discussion on "The View" reflects the ongoing scrutiny public figures face regarding their past actions, particularly in the age of social media where old posts can resurface and spark new debates. As celebrities like Kelce and Swift continue to navigate their public and private lives, their actions and words, both past and present, remain under the microscope of public opinion.
