Fans still can’t get enough of Kylie Kelce’s verbal altercation with a heckler — so much so that they even immortalized the viral moment on a T-shirt that she wore over the weekend.
Kylie, who has been married to retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce since 2018, took photos with fans while wearing the shirt at the Eagles Autism event over the weekend of Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7. According to Jason and Travis Kelce Instagram fan account @kelcebrothers — which posted photos of Kylie in the garb — “The shirt was gifted to her by fans who wore them to the Eagles Autism event where Kylie was guest bartending & signing autographs,” the page stated, adding that the “‘Standing on Business'” tee “is referring the situation in the viral ‘you’ll never be allowed in this town again’ Margate video.
Kylie — who is an event consultant for Eagles Autism and does extensive work for the organization — made headlines back in May when a disgruntled fan attempted to insist that Travis stop and take a photo as he and Kylie walked to dinner in Margate City, New Jersey. Per fan footage of the incident, When Jason declined, the woman began yelling that they’ll “never be allowed in this town again!” Kylie, for her part, told the instigator: “I can smell the alcohol on your breath.”
Following the incident, the mayor of Margate City issued a public apology and offered dinner on him. (The woman, meanwhile, later apologized in a statement to Us Weekly.)
As for Kylie wearing the shirt depicting the drama, fans were ecstatic.
“Kylie Kelce deserves the key to the city of Philadelphia,” one person commented on the @kelcebrothers’ post.
“As a standard middle-child-millennial, you in this video (and all the videos) made me feel like I can be brave and stand up for myself too!” another fan shared.
“Kylie is the toughest Kelsie [sic] in the family,” wrote a third user.
It’s a sentiment Kylie’s brother-in-law, Travis, can also get behind.
On an episode of the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast last month, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end noted that Kylie “has that, like, toughness of, ‘Don’t f*** with me.'”
Jason and Kylie are “the nicest people until you take it to that point,” Travis said of the fan encounter gone rogue. “And then it’s like, ‘Alright, now I gotta chokeslam you, b****.'”
