All it takes is one negative comment about a man’s child to infuriate even the calmest of men. A prime example of this is Ed Kelce, the father of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The proud dad of two NFL players is a kind man who seldom takes a jibe at others on social media platforms. But after Bethenny Frankel recently made some comments regarding Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s ongoing relationship, Kelce could not sit silently.

Ed Kelce kept his response to Bethenny Frankel straight to the point. He responded to a news article posted by NewsWeek by reposting it on his feed.

Who TF is this troll?

Ed Kelce captioned the post.

He dismissed Frankel’s comments by calling her irrelevant and a person who is not close to the same level of fame as his son and his likely daughter-in-law.

Now would be a good time to mention who Bethenny Frankel is. She identifies herself as a CEO, a self-made businessperson, a TV producer, a multiple New York Times bestselling author, a mother, and an accidental influencer. She is the creator of the prepackaged margarita line Skinnygirl Margarita.

Bethenny Frankel had criticized Travis Kelce’s behavior and called him an attention-seeker

Frankel had stated that Travis Kelce “loves to be the center of attention,” she compared the tight end to one of her exes.

It's all fun and games now, but when you get into real life, and you get into kids and marriage and things like that, and you get into long distance, it's not easy...relationships take work. There really usually can only be one peacock in a relationship.

Bethenny Frankel said

She made a bizarre comparison when she called Taylor Swift a peacock.

She raised an objection to his infamous ‘Viva Las Vegas’ chant after winning the Super Bowl. The moment went viral after Taylor Swift was caught cringing at it.

The Real Housewives of New York star warned Swift that though the relationship may seem to be “Really exciting and electric in the beginning…it does wear on you,” both physically and emotionally.

Ed Kelce was defending his son and Taylor Swift, who could very well be his future daughter-in-law. Fans justified his actions as he is a parent, and when he saw a third party make comments that were critical of his son’s personality, he could not hold himself back.

Despite third parties commenting on their relationship, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift continue to go strong. The couple has been making time for one another despite having busy schedules of their own.
