Bethenny Frankel is firing back at Travis Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, for calling her a “troll” after she claimed the athlete is a “peacock” in his relationship with Taylor Swift. ”
I do actually understand and admire a parent coming to their child’s defense, particularly when they’re asked about it,” Frankel, 53, explained during the Monday, February 26, episode of her “Just B” podcast. “I just wish he would’ve expressed an opinion versus just a verbal insult. As we teach our kids, it’s better to express ourselves than just criticize.”
Frankel previously claimed in a February Instagram clip that Travis’ “peacock” personality is a problem because his girlfriend, Swift, 34, is “certainly a peacock.” Frankel argued that usually there “can only be one peacock in a relationship.” When Ed saw the video, he took to Facebook on Friday, February 23, and asked, “Who TF is this troll?” slamming Frankel for seemingly saying his son’s relationship was doomed.
Frankel, however, argued on Monday that she “wasn’t even criticizing their relationship,” she told her listeners, “I was saying, usually there’s only one peacock in a relationship.”
The former reality star explained that when she dated a peacock, who she classified as “very over the top, very loud and gregarious and needed to be the center of attention,” it didn’t work, as she is also a strong personality.
