The unlikely beef between Bethenny Frankel and Ed Kelce continues.
It all started last month, when the TV personality likened Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to a “peacock” in his pursuit of girlfriend Taylor Swift, comparing him to one of her ex-boyfriends by saying the athlete “loves to be the center of attention.”
When Ed caught wind of Frankel’s comments about his son, he took to Facebook to ask, “Who TF is this troll?,” according to Newsweek.

Frankel has now responded in the Feb. 26 episode of her podcast, Just B with Bethenny Frankel. “Travis Kelce’s dad called me a troll. So, I do actually understand and admire a parent coming to their child’s defense, particularly when asked about it,” the former Real Housewives of New York City star said. “I just wish he would have expressed an opinion versus just a verbal insult because, you know, as we teach our kids, it’s better to express yourself than to just criticize.”
Frankel added that Ed “used an insult instead of his intellect,” comparing it to an incident at the 2024 Super Bowl, in which Travis pushed and yelled at Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid. “I did not mention him pushing his coach, which is a physical expression versus using your words and having a conversation, which is kind of like what his dad did,” she said.

Lastly, Frankel added that “the Swifties can come for me, but I’m going to defend myself,” before noting that she “wasn’t even criticizing their relationship.”
She explained, “I mean, they’re on top of the world. They’re both 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.”

The sports app game has a new competitor as Apple has announced the launch of their Apple Sports app for iPhone users.
As millions have gotten accustomed to keeping up with the latest happenings in sports on their smartphones and other devices, Apple is now giving them another option with a brand-new application. On Wednesday (Feb. 21), the global technology brand announced the launch of Apple Sports, a new application for the iPhone. Apple Sports is now available for users in the United States and the United Kingdom as well as Canada. There is no expected date for a global release yet.
“We created Apple Sports to give sports fans what they want — an app that delivers incredibly fast access to scores and stats,” said Eddy Cue, the senior vice president of services for Apple. The app, which is free to download and install, gives users real-time access to game scores, team stats, betting odds and more data. The NBA, NHL, NCAA basketball, and the Premier League are supported within the app, as well as Major League Soccer, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Liga MX, Ligue 1 and Serie A. According to the press release, there will be support for the NFL, WNBA, Major League Baseball, the NWSL and NCAA college football for their upcoming seasons.
Apple Sports users will be able to have their team interests synced with their Apple ID and other apps to help personalize their Apple TV and Apple News experiences. This option can also be turned off. Users can also customize the scoreboards found in the app, get lineup details for teams, and switch to other information for games and other streaming services to check out their teams there. Concerning the betting odds, which are supplied by DraftKings, a representative for Apple said that the app doesn’t support live betting, however, and so there is no revenue-share agreement in place between the two companies.
The news comes as Major League Soccer is beginning another season. Through Apple TV, they offer a season pass at $14.99 per month and $99 for the whole season. They also began to show MLB games in a “Friday Night Baseball” package back in 2022, which was the core of its 10-year broadcasting deal with the league. The move is also sure to boost Apple’s Services division revenue, which came in at $22.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023.
