She revealed, “Our college relationship was the typical college; I would say a relationship where there wasn’t really one because [Matthew Stafford] didn’t want one. That a**hole. We went back and forth there with a little bit of love-hate. Some of my podcasts is our story because it’s a funny, really funny f**king story because we were all over the place. I dated the backup to p*ss him off. That was the type of situation we were in.”

Kelly further argues that the athlete deserved it. Although she also called him a genuine soul, with the backup QB being a bad guy. In the end, they are now together, and they went through a lot, so the backup plan had to take place.
