When you’re in the public eye as much as Travis Kelce is, you’re bound to catch criticism from different places.
The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end is now under some fire from an unlikely source: country music singer and actress Jana Kramer.
Kramer, 40, who was married to former Buffalo Bills tight end Mike Caussin from 2015-21, said on the latest edition of her “Whine Down” podcast that she feels Kelce is out for the spotlight and is “corny.”
“He reminds me of my ex,” Kramer said, via Us Weekly. “But it just feels a little corny, cheesy. It just feels like he’s loving the attention.”
On a more serious note, when discussing the Super Bowl sideline altercation between Kelce and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, Kramer accused the perennial All-Pro of drinking too much.
“Honestly, the Super Bowl thing rubbed me kind of the wrong way – the aggression there,” Kramer said. “And then I’ve just kind of heard things that I don’t love. But again, I just want everyone to be happy is what I’ll default to. I don’t know, it’s something about him that reminds me of my ex that just rubs me the wrong way.
“To me, he’s always drunk. Every time I’ve ever seen a video he’s just always drunk. And I hope she [Taylor Swift] doesn’t go on that. I see her drinking more now, like the company you keep.”
This isn’t the first time Kelce’s drinking has been discussed recently. The 34-year-old managed to tick off several people when he chugged a beer while receiving his diploma during a recent appearance at the University of Cincinnati.
The stunt occurred during the filming of an episode of the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” podcast and not during an actual graduation, but some folks were still unhappy.
Speaking of “New Heights,” we’ll have to see if Travis discussed Kramer’s comments on an upcoming episode.
