Travis Kelce gave Jason Kelce his love after his brother’s “heated” interaction with a college student went viral.
The Kansas City Chiefs player addressed the scandal for the first time on Wednesday’s “New Heights” podcast.
“You had some f–king clown come up to you talking about your family,” the tight end, 35, said, referencing the Pennsylvania State University student who told Jason over the weekend that Travis “is a f–t for dating Taylor Swift.”

The Kansas City Chiefs player addressed the scandal on “New Heights.”
He assured Jason that he had been “defending [his] family.”
At the time, the retired Philadelphia Eagles player, 37, replied by repeatedly asking, “Who’s the f–t now?”
Travis acknowledged, “You reacted in a way that was defending your family and you might have used some words that you regret using.”
However, he praised his “sincere” sibling for “learn[ing] from” the experience and “own[ing]” it with an apology on ESPN Monday night.

The individual called Travis a “f–t for dating Taylor Swift.”
“I know it’s weighing on you, brother,” he said. “That s–t sucks. You shouldn’t feel this much. … Everybody passing around the videos is gonna make it a bigger situation than what it really is.
“You don’t choose hate,” Travis added. “That’s not who you are.”
Jason doubled down on his regrets over the “hateful” footage at the start of the episode, saying he wants to “stop talking about the really stupid situation” from this moment on.

“The thing I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you,” he told listeners of the “f–king ridiculous” and “over the line” slur.
While Jason wanted to “throw that s–t back in [the fan’s] face” because “f–k him,” the former athlete noted, “Now there’s a video out there with him saying that word and it’s not good for anybody.”
He emphasized that the moment “would have been a nothingburger” if he “just kept walking.”

“That s–t sucks, man,” Travis said.
In Jason’s initial apology for the viral video, he said, “I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it.”
While Swift, 34, has yet to publicly respond to the controversy, she was filmed hugging Jason at Travis’ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Monday.
She and the Super Bowl winner have been dating since last summer.
