Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly said on her The Morning After podcast that she “f-king lost it” when she threw a pretzel at a San Francisco 49ers fan who was heckling her during a matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Niners earlier this month.
Kelly claims she was being heckled non-stop before she turned around and hurled a piece of soft pretzel at him, striking him in the face. She said she apologized and offered to buy him and the people he was with food and drinks. The guy declined, via TMZ.
Stafford was then escorted from the stadium and said Wednesday she would no longer be attending Rams’ away games.
“I’m human, I make mistakes, and I own up to them,” she said on her podcast. “I don’t f–king hide from them, that’s not me.”
“I’ve always been taught, I wear my heart on my sleeve so I do stuff probably in a hot second, but I also realize in a hot second, not the best, and I go up and I apologize.”
She went on to claim that the fan began yelling that she was Stafford’s wife, and that he “wasn’t having” her apology — and even tried to keep the pretzel as a “souvenir.”
“Being a professional athlete’s significant other, you don’t wave want to bring attention to yourself negatively,” Kelly said on her podcast, admitting, “I f–king lost it and here we are.”

Fortunately for her, her QB husband had a light-hearted reaction to what she did.
“He said, ‘Well, I wish I was as accurate as you were, but I guess only one person in the family was accurate that night,’” Kelly Stafford said.
He added, “Maybe if I wasn’t playing so sh–ty the guy wouldn’t be able to say as much to you.”
Kelly said her DMs were flooded with lewd messages from internet trolls, including comments calling her a “c–t.” She also said that she was sober during the “embarrassing” incident.
