Jason Kelce is under investigation following an altercation with a fan using homophobic slurs

Penn State Police Investigate Kelce-Fan Confrontation Over Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift
Philadelphia Eagles' Jason Kelce waits to speak during a news...Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce found himself at the center of controversy following a heated interaction with a fan at the Penn State vs. Ohio State game. Video footage captured Kelce, who was attending the game in Happy Valley, confronting a fan who reportedly used a homophobic slur aimed at Kelce’s brother, Travis, referencing his high-profile relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.

The incident unfolded outside Beaver Stadium, where a young fan allegedly harassed Jason Kelce with insults directed at Travis. The fan reportedly used offensive language referencing Travis’s connection to Swift, and Kelce, after initially ignoring the heckling, eventually snapped. In a moment captured on video, Jason is seen taking the fan’s phone and smashing it to the ground, reportedly mirroring the same slur the fan had used.

Penn State’s Police and Public Safety departments confirmed they are investigating the altercation. “TMZ Sports has learned … the school’s Police and Public Safety agencies are investigating the viral interaction,” TMZ reported. The investigation is currently ongoing, and no charges or official conclusions have been announced as yet.

ESPN unlikely to discipline Kelce despite backlash

Jason Kelce, who joined ESPN as an analyst post-retirement, remains scheduled to appear in the network’s pre and post-game coverage of Monday Night Football, despite the controversy. Sources close to ESPN suggest the network will not take disciplinary action. Kelce’s strong reaction to the fan’s slurs has received mixed responses online, with some fans applauding his defense of family, while others question his choice of words in responding to the heckler.

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who were not present at the game, reportedly expressed shock over the incident. The Daily Mail quoted a source close to the couple, stating, “Taylor and Travis were both really shocked by this, considering Jason is one of the nicest guys in the world. He has strong family values, and he views Taylor as family now.”

The Kelce brothers are known for their close bond, often showcased on their podcast, New Heights. Fans anticipate that the upcoming episode might touch on the incident, as both Jason and Travis frequently discuss their lives and current events in an unfiltered format. This latest controversy has certainly cast a spotlight on the Kelce family dynamic and how much they value their relationships, both familial and romantic.
