NFL's Jonathan Owens Defends Simone Biles ... After Fan Calls Gymnast 'So F***ing Rude'

Published

Jonathan Owens is firing back at a fan who said his wife, Simone Biles, was a complete jerk while out on a recent shopping trip ... saying the accusations are all a lie.

The fan claimed the unpleasant run-in with the gymnastics star happened several months ago at a makeup store she had been working at.

In a series of tweets, the woman said Biles was "so f***ing rude" ... and, at one point during the shopping spree, denied her coworker a picture with her daughter while at check out.

She claimed Biles said at the time, "Absolutely not. Your daughter is 4 she doesn't even know me." She also said the 26-year-old complained to the store manager about being watched while she was perusing through items.

"For months after," the woman wrote in one of her tweets, "every time I'd see new about her and they would call her sweet I just recall how mean she was for no reason. When she left we all were like 'what the f*** just happened.'"

But, Owens -- the Green Bay Packers defensive back who married Biles earlier this year -- called cap on the story in his own series of posts on X on Thursday ... saying Biles is the "sweetest person in the world."

"Spreading lies on the internet is crazy," he said. "It's okay for her to deny a picture. People don't understand sometimes you just want to shop in peace, if she stops and takes one picture people will just keep following her and won’t leave us alone."

"And another thing," he continued, "I've never heard her talk to someone like that, especially to someone who asked her for a picture, like why would you try to make her look like that."

"I’m not going for that, I don't play bout my baby."

Since Owens' tweets, the woman has made her account private. It's unclear if she's issued a response to it all.

TAYLOR SWIFT Conecta con BRITTANY MAHOMES en una fiesta privada después del partido

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift podría estar muy cerca de añadir otro miembro a su pandilla y esta tiene serios lazos con Travis Kelce y los Kansas City Chiefs.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que Taylor y la esposa del QB de los Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, Brittany Mahomes, realmente congeniaron el domingo por la noche en la fiesta privada de Kelce después del partido. Nuestras fuentes dicen que las dos charlaron un montón en la fiesta y que en un momento incluso se tomaron un shot juntas.

Incluso más, nos dicen que escucharon a Brittany y Taylor diciendo que querían mantenerse en contacto y que tienen planes para juntarse de nuevo en un futuro próximo.

Por supuesto, se supone que Taylor asistirá este domingo al partido de los Chiefs contra los New York Jets en el MetLife Stadium de Nueva Jersey, así que al menos se verán allí.

Además de Brittany, Taylor pasó un montón de tiempo con Travis en la fiesta y se puede ver cómo su brazo envuelve a la estrella de la NFL en una foto que obtuvimos del evento.

Brittany y el hermano de Patrick, Jackson, han sido las caras del equipo de Kansas City durante años (aparte de los atletas, por supuesto), por lo que ver a Taylor tomar el centro de atención ha sido sin duda un cambio.

Las redes sociales enloquecieron con la aparición de Taylor en el partido del domingo, cuando la vimos sentada en un palco privado junto a la madre de Travis, Donna. Brittany no estaba en ese palco, pero ya empezaron a aparecer memes que cuestionan si estaba o no celosa de la atención que recibió Taylor.

Resulta que igual compartió con la reina Swiftie, con o sin palco privado.

Taylor Swift Hit It Off with Brittany Mahomes At Private Post-Game Bash

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift might be inching closer to adding another member to her girl squad ... and she's got some serious ties to Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Taylor and Chiefs' QB Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany Mahomes, really hit it off Sunday night at Kelce's private post-game party. Our sources say the two chatted a ton at the bash ... and at one point even took a shot together.

What's more, we're told, Brittany and Taylor were overheard saying they wanted to stay in touch ... and have plans to meet up again in the near future.

Of course, Taylor's supposed to attend this Sunday's Chiefs game against The New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ... so they'll at least see each other at the game.

Brittany aside, Taylor also spent plenty of time with Travis at the party ... and could be seen with her arm draped around the NFL star in a photo we obtained from inside the event.

Brittany and Patrick's brother, Jackson, have been the faces of the KC team for years now (other than the athletes, of course) so to see Taylor take the spotlight has certainly been a shift in power.

Social media went wild during Taylor's appearance at Sunday's game when she sat in a private booth next to Travis' mom, Donna. Brittany wasn't in that box, but memes started popping up questioning whether or not she was jealous of the attention on Taylor.

Turns out she got to hang with Queen Swiftie ... private box or not.

"Just sign me to a ten day [contract!] 😎"

Mark Cuban has seen what Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce has done for the NFL, and he's hoping her influence can transition over to the NBA ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to hook her up with a Mavericks player!!

T. Swift's appearance at the Chiefs game on Sunday had a massive positive impact on Kansas City and the league as a whole ... resulting in massive television ratings and Kelce jersey sales.

The billionaire businessman and Mavs owner is now giving his two cents on the Swift/Kelce sitch ... and he tells us he's not only witnessing a budding romance -- he's also seeing dollar signs.

"Taylor Swift impacts the economy," the Shark Tank star said out in NYC on Thursday. "She adds value everywhere she goes."

"Literally every city she brings her tours to, you can see the economy get a bump out of it. The NFL's gotta be loving this."

Cuban sends a personal message to Swift ... saying he'd love to introduce her to a hooper so the Association can get in on the big biz, too -- that is if things with the Chiefs tight end fall flat.

Mark Cuban ha visto lo que la relación de Taylor Swift con Travis Kelce ha hecho por la NFL y espera que su influencia pueda pasar a la NBA, diciéndole a TMZ Sports que quiere que salga con un jugador de los Mavericks.

La aparición de Swift en el juego de los Chiefs el domingo tuvo un impacto positivo masivo en Kansas City y la liga en su conjunto, lo que se vio reflejado en ratings masivos de televisión y ventas de camisetas de Kelce.

El multimillonario hombre de negocios y propietario de los Mavs ahora está apostando por este modelo de negocios y nos dice que no solo es testigo de un romance en ciernes, sino que también puede ver signos de dólar.

"Taylor Swift tiene un impacto en la economía", dijo la estrella de Shark Tank en Nueva York el jueves. "Ella añade valor donde quiera que vaya".

"Literalmente, en cada ciudad a la que lleva sus giras, puedes ver cómo la economía recibe un empujón gracias a ello. A la NFL le tiene que encantar".

Cuban le envía un mensaje personal a Swift, que básicamente dice que le encantaría presentarla a un jugador para que la Asociación pueda entrar en el gran negocio.

Chandler Jones Cries During Live Stream Mentions Aaron Hernandez Death

Published

Chandler Jones went live on social media amid his ongoing dispute with the Las Vegas Raiders ... and the NFL star displayed a wide range of emotions over the span of 25 minutes -- at one point, breaking down in tears over his former teammate, Aaron Hernandez.

The two-time All-Pro defensive end -- who is currently on the non-football illness list -- documented himself sitting by a fire at his Nevada residence on Thursday ... interacting with his followers as he discussed a number of topics.

33-year-old Jones stated multiple times he is sane and wants to continue his career with the Raiders ... just days after he claimed he was sent to a mental hospital and injected with a substance against his will.

At one point, Jones discussed knowing government secrets ... from the Illuminati to ISIS.

Jones made several disturbing statements about members of the NFL -- including Raiders coach Josh McDaniels and team owner Mark Davis.

He also had an exchange with a neighbor ... stating he's trying to protect the community and inviting the person over for gumbo.

In the final minutes of the stream, Jones breaks down in tears ... insinuating McDaniels had something to do with Hernandez's death.

"Oh, y'all didn't know what Josh McDaniels really did to Aaron Hernandez?" Jones asked his followers. "If y'all don't know what really happened with Aaron Hernandez ... y'all thought Aaron Hernandez killed himself in jail?"

"Y'all thought my n***a chico killed himself in jail?"

Jones became visibly emotional about the subject ... but did not elaborate on his claims before abruptly ending the stream.

Taylor Swift Empire State Building se ilumina de rojo y blanco ... Por la moda del ketchup y aparentemente "rancho"

Published | Updated

Incluso el Empire State Building quiere estar tan iluminado como Taylor Swift, por lo que sus icónicas luces fueron sombreadas para rendirle homenaje, no por su música, sino que por su elección de condimentos.

Sí, el famoso rascacielos de Nueva York descaradamente se subió a la moda del "ketchup y aparentemente rancho" el miércoles por la noche e iluminó sus luces en la punta de rojo y blanco, como culminación a un frenesí salvaje que comenzó hace 4 días en Kansas City.

Sigan leyendo porque esto es un poco loco. El domingo en el juego de los Chiefs, Taylor se tomó una foto con una fan junto a un plato que tenía un pollo y dos cucharadas de salsa de tomate y, al parecer "rancho".

Luego que la foto fuera compartida en la cuenta de fans de Taylor, recibió 32 millones de visitas y se creó un nuevo meme que se volvió tan popular que la gente del Empire State Building tuvo que entrar en acción. Por cierto, Heinz también aprovechó el momento.

Eso sí, el rojo y el blanco también son los colores de los Chiefs de Travis Kelce, el mejor amigo de Taylor, que vienen a Nueva York este fin de semana para jugar contra los Jets de Nueva York. Sí, se espera que Taylor también asista, y sin embargo, la ciudad natal de los Jets, y el Empire State Building no pudieron resistirse.

Ese es el poder de Taylor Swift en 2023. Cómete a los Beatles.

Taylor Swift Gets Empire State Building Red, White ... Lit for 'Ketchup & Seemingly Ranch' Craze

Published | Updated

Even the Empire State Building wants to be as lit as Taylor Swift, which is why its iconic lights were shaded to honor her -- not for her music, but for her choice in condiments.

Yes, NYC's famed skyscraper shamelessly hopped on the "ketchup and seemingly ranch" craze Wednesday night by turning its crowning lights red and white ... the culmination of a wild frenzy that started 4 days earlier in Kansas City.

Follow along, because this is kinda crazy -- Sunday at the Chiefs game Taylor takes a photo with a fan, next to a plate with a chicken tender and 2 dollops of ketchup and seemingly ranch.

Then that photo gets tweeted on a Taylor fan account, gets 32 million views and births a new meme trend so big the Empire State Building folks had to get in on the action! BTW, Heinz is capitalizing on the moment, too.

Mind you, red and white are also the colors for Taylor's BF Travis Kelce's Chiefs ... who are coming to NY this weekend to play the NY Jets -- yes, Taylor's expected to attend -- and yet the Jets' hometown Empire State Building just couldn't resist.

That's the power of Taylor Swift in 2023. Eat your heart out Beatles.

Check out the pic, obtained by TMZ, showing Taylor very casually hanging on Travis as they spoke to Kelce's friends at a private party at Prime Social in Kansas City, Missouri.

WILDEST DREAMS COMING TRUE

Lucky for Taylor, Travis caught a touchdown during the matchup -- something he does often -- but this one felt a little more special.

SWIFT ON THE SIDELINES

Taylor would be going back for seconds ... she went to the Chiefs game last Sunday, watching Travis score a touchdown from a private suite with his family. It was the first time she went to one of his games since they started hanging out, and the first time she met his parents.

The NFL schedule is lining up perfectly for Taylor and Travis ... his team is playing on the road against the Jets, across the river from New York City ... where Taylor owns a place.

TMZ broke the story ... Taylor and Travis got super cozy with one another after last Sunday's game, she was draping her arm around his neck while they chatted at the private party he set up.

As we first reported ... the singer and NFL stud have hung out several times before, but in more intimate settings than a football stadium.

They walked out of Arrowhead Stadium together after last Sunday's Chiefs win over the Chicago Bears, driving off in a convertible ... so it will be interesting to see how they top that this week.

IMPRESSIVE DATING POOL

Brittany Renner just opened up about her sex life to Shannon Sharpe in a big way ... revealing she's slept with 35 men -- a number that stunned the Pro Football Hall of Famer so much, he had to take a big swig of booze.

The "Basketball Wives" star made the remark while chatting with Sharpe on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast about Derek Jeter's dating life.

Renner said to Sharpe her roster of partners was very comparable to the Yankees legend's ... and then she told the former Denver Broncos star her body count.

Sharpe then reacted as if he had seen a ghost ... nearly spitting up his water -- before shooting some booze.

"Oh, lord!" the ex-NFLer said. "Anybody else need a shot of this?! We are in a bar, so help yourself!"

Renner took the intimate conversation even further moments later ... telling Sharpe she once caught a yeast infection after having sex with three men within 24 hours.

The deep convo didn't just stop there, though ... 'cause the two then dove into her relationship with her ex, NBA player P.J. Washington.

Renner explained she had been on birth control for a decade prior to getting with the Charlotte Hornets forward ... but she decided to go off of it to have a child with Washington because she thought he "was my guy."

"I thought I was doin' it right," she said.

Taylor Swift was already at the "meet the parents" stage of her relationship with Travis Kelce ... and it turns out she's getting cool with his buddies, too -- 'cause Patrick Mahomes just revealed he got to chop it up with the singer at the tight end's postgame party on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was asked about Kelce's recent super VIP guest at Arrowhead Stadium after practice on Wednesday ... and while he initially said days ago he hadn't met Swift yet -- that has since changed following TK's shindig at Prime Social in K.C.

"Yeah, I met her," Mahomes told local reporters. "She's really cool, good people."

But Patrick wasn't super chatty about the subject ... echoing Kelce and saying he's going to keep it to talkin' football moving forward.

"But like Trav said, man, I'm going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving," the two-time MVP added.

As we previously reported, Swift and Kelce -- who hung out a few times in intimate settings before Sunday's game -- were a bit closer at the postgame party ... with TS putting her arm around the four-time first-team All-Pro's neck.

Ella es increíble

Taylor Swift ya estaba en la etapa de "conocer a los padres" en su relación con Travis Kelce y ahora resulta que está conociendo a sus amigos también, porque Patrick Mahomes acaba de revelar que pudo conversar con ella en la fiesta posterior al partido del domingo.

La superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs fue consultado sobre la reciente invitada súper VIP de Kelce en el estadio Arrowhead, después de la práctica del miércoles, y aunque hace algunos días contaba que aún no había conocido a Swift, eso ha cambiado desde entonces.

"Sí, la conocí", dijo Mahomes a los periodistas locales. "Es genial, buena persona".

Pero Patrick no fue súper hablador sobre el tema, haciendo eco de Kelce y diciendo que iba a dejarlo hasta ahí para hablar de fútbol en adelante.

"Pero como Trav dijo, voy a dejar que tengan su privacidad y solo mantenerlo en movimiento", agregó el dos veces MVP.

Como informamos anteriormente, Swift y Kelce, que salieron un par de veces en ambientes íntimos antes del partido del domingo, estaban un poco más cerca en la fiesta posterior al partido, con Taylor poniendo su brazo alrededor del cuello del cuatro veces All-Pro del primer equipo.

Usher Music Sees Super Bowl-Sized Spike After Halftime News

Published | Updated

Usher's upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show definitely has people feeling nostalgic already -- 'cause his music has been played like crazy in the days since the news broke.

The numbers are pretty staggering ... Billboard tells us Usher's tunes (new and old) have seen a significant spike across all streaming services since the announcement was made Sunday, and the increased plays are tipping into the millions.

092423_usher_halftime_kal
GETTING THE BIG CALL

Percentage-wise, we're told that boils down to about a 16% bump for Usher between Sunday and Monday ... with his most-streamed song being his new single, "Good Good," which is already on the Hot 100.

Billboard says "Good Good" was streamed 1.1 million times in this window, about a 5% gain. His classics like "Yeah!," "My Boo" and "DJ Got Us Fallin in Love" saw bumps as well -- amounting to an added 962k streams, 527k streams, and 525k streams, respectively.

When it comes to the individual streaming services, the increase is clear in their data too. Tidal, for example, tells us Usher's "Superstar" was the most popular song on their platform on the day of the announcement. They also say "You Make Me Wanna..." saw the biggest jump in streaming percentage from the day prior at 55%.

SUPERB SUPER BOWL CHOICE

Another music streaming company that felt the Usher effect was Amazon ... they tell us "Yeah!" climbed a whopping 140% in plays compared to the day before the announcement. As a result, we're told it jumped 149 spots in their internal popular song rankings list.

Of course, word of Usher being the big headliner was well-received on social media ... and it sounds like enthusiasm translated into people going back and getting several earfuls.

Tyreek Hill No F'ing Way I'm Doing Porn ... I Was Kidding!!!

Published

Tyreek Hill won't be going balls-out in the porn industry -- not in retirement, not ever -- the Miami Dolphins superstar just admitted he was just kidding about becoming an adult film actor after he's done playing in the NFL.

Hill made the shocking revelation while streaming on Twitch with Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans ... when he said straight-up, "Nah, when I retire, bro, I really wanna be a porn star though, bro."

092623_tyreek_hill_kal SEPTEMBER 2023
THINKING AHEAD

The 29-year-old doubled down shortly after ... claiming once again he was "dead serious."

As it turns out, Hill was just fooling around ... 'cause when he was asked about it at practice on Wednesday, he explained it was all a joke.

"A lot of my teammates are hating on me right now," Hill said minutes ago. "I was joking, I was definitely joking. That's something I just don't want to do."

Hill -- who has made more than $93 million over the course of his NFL career so far -- definitely doesn't have to lift a finger (or any other body part, for that matter) after he retires ... so it's no surprise he is backing off his bold claim.
