Julia Fox Claps Back at 'Crazy' NFL Fans Blaming Taylor Swift for Travis Kelce's Losses

Julia Fox, 35, came to Taylor Swift's, 35, defense as she called out 'crazy' NFL fans who 'blame' the superstar anytime Travis Kelce's team loses

Taylor Swift Slammed by NFL Fans, But Julia Fox Has Her Back!

In a shocking turn of events, Taylor Swift's fiancé Travis Kelce's team suffered a crushing defeat, and the blame game began - but this time, it wasn't the quarterback who took the fall. No, folks, it was Swift herself who became the target of vicious online attacks from die-hard NFL fans. But fear not, because Julia Fox, the stunning 35-year-old model and actress, has come to Swift's defense, calling out the "crazy" behavior of these overzealous football enthusiasts.

Fox, who stars in the new thriller film Him, which delves into the cutthroat world of professional football, expressed her outrage during an interview with Australian outlet Pedestrian.TV. She pointed out that it's not just Swift who suffers from this unfair treatment; many Women Associated with athletes (WAGs) face similar backlash when their significant others lose on the field.

"It's like, if a guy loses a game, it's a girl's 'fault,' like his girlfriend's 'fault,'" Fox said incredulously. "It's just crazy. And all the superstitions and irrational stuff these men believe in - that ultimately leads to a woman being blamed."

Fox used Swift as an example, recalling how she was unfairly targeted after Kelce's team lost a game. "I remember Travis Kelce lost a game, and then people were saying it was Taylor's fault," Fox laughed. "It was just like, 'What? That's crazy!' But you know, blame women - they love to do that."

And in a cleverly worded quip, Fox sarcastically asked, "Is it because we're so powerful? So you're admitting that we are powerful? So you're admitting it?" Ouch, girl! Someone needs to give these NFL fans a reality check!

But Fox isn't just talking the talk; she's also walking the walk. As an actress in the new thriller film Him, which explores the intense world of football, Fox delved deep into her character Elsie White - a social media influencer with a complicated past. To get into character, Fox confessed that she binge-watched Basketball Wives (because who doesn't love some good reality TV drama?) and even researched reality TV stars to get a better understanding of the WAG lifestyle.

However, when she arrived on set, director Justin Tipping surprised her by telling her to "stay exactly as you are." That's when Fox realized that Elsie was meant to be a departure from the typical WAG stereotype - someone more refined, sophisticated, and cosmopolitan.

"It was because in Elsie's mind, she's not like the other WAGs - she's better than them," Fox explained. "She loves fashion, art, travel... she has a lot more to prove." And with that, we get a glimpse into the complex world of football WAGs and their often-intense relationships.

Fox also shared her experience working on Him, which offered her an inside look at the high-stakes world of professional sports. "The stakes are so high, and the pressure is so much," she admitted. "It seems like such an intense world... It's definitely not for me." But with that newfound respect comes a sense of admiration for these strong women who navigate this demanding world.

So there you have it - Julia Fox standing up for Taylor Swift (and all WAGs everywhere!) against the unfair treatment they face from NFL fans. Who knew football could be so... juicy?
