Jason Kelce smashed a heckler’s phone after they used a homophobic slur against his brother, Travis.
The incident took place yesterday (November 2), after the derogatory remark was made in reference to Travis’s relationship with Taylor Swift.
Clips shared on social media show a person shouting to Kelce as he tries to walk through a crowd. “Hey, Kelce! How does it feel your brother’s a f****t dating Taylor Swift?” they said in the now-viral video.
Kelce then turns, walks back to the person, grabs their phone and throws it to the ground.
Another clip shows that the heckler had been attempting to film Kelce’s reaction to his comment, while a third video shows the former NFL player repeating the slur, saying, “Who’s the f****t now?”
NME has reached out to Kelce’s representatives for comment.

The singer and Kansas City Chiefs player appear to have been together since last year, with their relationship drawing massive media attention.
Swift attended multiple NFL games last season, and Kelce has been supporting her on her record-breaking ‘Eras’ tour, where Kelce joined Swift onstage, in character and costume, during her ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ set at Wembley Stadium.
In June, it was reported that a romcom inspired by their relationship was in the works. ‘Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story’, is set to premiere on November 30.
In other news, Travis and Jason Kelce recently unveiled a festive collaboration with Boyz II Men in the form of ‘It’s Christmastime (In Cleveland Heights)’. It marks the first taster of their full-length Christmas-themed album ‘A Philly Special Christmas Party’, which is out on November 22.
The album is the third in a series of festive charity records under the band name The Philly Specials, which is made up of Jason and his Philadelphia Eagles teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata. Their 2023 release ‘A Philly Special Christmas Special’ raised over $3million for a range of Philadelphia-based charities.
