In her recent Instagram story, she gave netizens a piece of her mind for intruding into Wilson and his personal life. She stated, “My friends are freaking amazing. By the way, stop calling my friends. You’re annoying them. They’re like, ‘Lisa, these people are crazy.’ I’m like, ‘I know, I know I know.’ Yeah, stop calling my friends for real though.” It was an open PSA for several media outlets that covered Abbey Gile, Zach Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, and her alleged comments on Instagram.

The No.2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has become a viral figure on social media due to several media outlet reports. She was particularly unhappy with the specific media coverage of Wilson and how intensely the news gained attention. The timing of the reports seems suspicious following breakup speculations surrounding Gile and Wilson gaining momentum early this year.

Are there other reasons for this sudden revelation surrounding Zach Wilson?

The Jets QB’s ex-girlfriend has since moved on to dating his college roommate and Washington Commanders WR Dax Milne. It was one of her Instagram comments accusing Wilson of being a “homie hopper” for “sleeping with his mom’s best friend.” While she has since deleted her Instagram profile, her relationship with Milne has come under fan scrutiny.

The outpouring of criticism for his mom and the Jets QB on social media was always going to take a toll on him. However, the Wilson family has shown initiative in taking control of the reports surrounding the 22-year-old. As a new NFL season approaches, the Jets’ QB and his fans will be hoping to put aside these distractions. The franchise will require a singular focus from Wilson for delivering results ahead of a crucial season.
