Travis Kelce's brother has broken his silence after smashing up a fan's phone over a Taylor Swift dig.
Jason Kelce, 37, was heckled outside the Beaver Stadium in the US before Penn State played Ohio State on Saturday when a fan called Kansas City Chiefs star, Travis, 35, a f****t for dating Bad Blood Billionaire, Tay-Tay, also 35.
Jason responded by grabbing the fan's phone, smashing it on the ground, kicking it away and yelling back: "Who's the f****t now?" Speaking about the incident in the newest episode of his New Heights' podcast after addressing it briefly on NFL show, Monday Night Countdown, the Eagles star said the situation was "stupid", explaining: "I'm going to address it because I feel it needs one more time and then hopefully we can stop talking about this really stupid situation that occurred.

It's really stupid and if I just keep walking it's a f***ing nothing burger. Nobody sees it. Now, it's out there and it just perpetuates more hate."
Claiming his biggest regret was repeating the homophobic slur, he continued: "The thing that I regret the most is saying that word to be honest with you. The word he used is just f***ing ridiculous and takes it to another level. It's just off the wall and f***ing over the line. It's dehumanising and got under my skin."
Jason concluded: "I know now I shouldn't have done that because there's now a video out there of me saying that word, him saying that word and it's not good for anybody."
Supporting his brother, Travis championed him for 'supporting his family', saying: "I know it's weighing on you brother. It sucks. You shouldn't feel this much, obviously the scrutiny and the media view on it and people passing around the videos that are out there. That's going to make it a bigger situation than, I think, what it really is.

"That's a situation you've just got to learn from and own and I think you owning it and you speaking about it shows how sincere you are to people in this world and shows what you said on Monday night. You don't choose hate. That's just not who you are. I love you brother. I think you said that perfectly."
