Bethenny Frankel gets into an online verbal brawl with Travis Kelce’s father
The ex-Bravo star started the controversy when she criticized the relationship of Travis and Taylor Swift in an Instagram video. She explained that the pop star is the ‘Peacock’ or center of attention in the relationship and Kelce is one too. According to her, there can be only one peacock in a relationship and things get difficult when you get into real life.
Responding to this Ed Kelce, the father of the NFL star posted a ‘Newsweek’s’ article about Bethenny’s quotes on his Facebook and wrote, “Who TF is this Troll?”. Later on, in an episode of ‘Just B with Bethenny Frankel’ podcast, the reality TV star was seen hitting back at the Chiefs star’s father for insulting her.

She said, “Travis Kelce’s dad called me a troll, I do actually understand and admire a parent coming to their child’s defense, particularly when asked about it. I just wish he would have expressed an opinion versus just a verbal insult, because, you know, as we teach our kids, it’s better to express yourself than to just criticize.”
Bethenny further said that Kelce’s dad used insult instead of using intellect. She then explained that she stood by what she said in the video about two peacocks in a relationship. She also mentioned Travis Kelce pushing his coach and compared it to what his dad did.
