Donna Kelce Defends Travis Kelce Over Resurfaced Social Media Posts
Travis Kelce faces online scrutiny as his mother, Donna Kelce, disputes claims about resurfaced social media posts.
Donna Kelce has defended her son, NFL star Travis Kelce, after old social media posts allegedly linked to his name resurfaced online.
Donna, 74, responded on X on Saturday, October 17. She challenged claims that the controversial messages belonged to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
“Not Travis’ handle and not his account!!” she wrote in response to a fan who shared the posts.
Controversial Posts Resurface Online
The messages reportedly appeared under the account name “tkelce” between 2009 and 2011. They allegedly contained offensive comments about women’s appearances, cheerleaders and other individuals.

However, Donna disputed the account’s connection to her son. Her response has added a new dimension to the online controversy.
The New York Times previously reported in 2023 that fact-checking website Snopes had independently verified the tweets. Travis, 37, has not publicly addressed the resurfaced messages, according to the supplied report.
Shane Gillis Controversy Adds to Scrutiny
The latest debate follows criticism over Travis’s reported decision to like a video featuring comedian Shane Gillis’s recent Saturday Night Live monologue.
Gillis faced backlash after making jokes about women’s gym clothing during the October 10 broadcast. His remarks drew criticism from several public figures.
Actor Dan Levy was among those who responded. In an Instagram post on October 11, Levy rejected the characterisation of women wearing short gym clothes as immoral. He also criticised the attitudes behind such comments.
Levy argued that the controversy reflected broader concerns about the objectification of women in the media.
Travis Kelce Yet to Respond
Travis has not publicly responded to the criticism surrounding his reported social media activity, according to the information provided.
Meanwhile, Donna’s statement directly challenges the claim that the older posts came from her son’s account. The discussion continues online as users debate the posts’ authenticity and the wider controversy surrounding the comedian’s remarks.
