Reality TV star Bethenny Frankel responded to Travis Kelce's father after Ed Kelce wondered who the “troll” was who made a comment about the Kansas City Chiefs star's relationship with Taylor Swift.
Frankel responded to Ed Kelce's comment on an episode of her podcast, “Just B with Bethenny Frankel.” Frankel said she wishes “he had expressed an opinion instead of just a verbal insult.”
The “Real Housewives of New York City” star commented in a video who was the “peacock” in that relationship and compared him to a person she used to date. Ed Kelce caught wind of the comment and took to Facebook to ask, “Who the TF is this troll?”

“I was saying there's usually only one peacock in a relationship, and I dated a guy like that who was very over the top, very loud and outgoing and needed to be the center of attention,” Frankel explained Tuesday. “And I stand by that. I think that's just Travis. I didn't mention putting pressure on his coach, which is a physical expression as opposed to using your words and having a conversation, which is kind of what his dad did.
“He used an insult instead of using his intellect. So the Swifties can come after me, but I'm going to defend myself. I said they were on my Mount Rushmore of couples, the two of them. I mean, “They're on top of the world. Both are very successful. “I've said that I literally think he's a peacock, and there are two peacocks in this relationship, and it usually doesn't work.”
Frankel compared Ed Kelce's involvement in the drama to that of the Bravo show.
“It's a bit absurd, but it's making the headlines; I'm so sorry, I'm not sorry.”

TAYLOR SWIFT, TRAVIS KELCE ARE THE 'ULTIMATE POWER COUPLE' BECAUSE HE'S NOT INTIMIDATED BY THEIR SUCCESS: EXPERT
Ed Kelce seems to be totally behind his son's relationship with the pop star. The two celebrated the Chiefs' victories together during the 2023 season.
Frankel previously criticized Swift in September for “friending” Donna Kelce in the suite at one of the Chiefs' games.
“I felt like the Chia Pet of a relationship,” she said in September, according to Page Six. “I mean, she just adds water. They were together for 10 years. She's a footballer's wife… It literally seemed like she's been in a serious relationship with this guy for decades.”
Frankel noted at the time that Swift had a brief fling with Matt Healy in the early days of the “Eras Tour.” She advised Swift to keep her own identity.
