Key Takeaway
Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Maya Benberry, has faced backlash from Taylor Swift’s fanbase, the Swifties, after speaking out about their past relationship. Maya has received death threats and criticized the aggressive nature of the Swifties, highlighting the contrast between their behavior and Taylor Swift’s positive image.
The Swifties’ Aggressive Behavior
Benberry, who won the “Catching Kelce” reality show in 2016, spoke about the negative and aggressive nature of the Swifties. She expressed her surprise at the stark contrast between Taylor Swift, whom she views as positive and kind, and her passionate but angry fanbase.
Benberry labeled the Swifties as “very negative” and “very hypocritical”. According to her, their behavior has been quite shocking, especially considering her intentions were not to criticize or attack Taylor Swift in any way.
Benberry Addresses Relationship with Kelce
While Benberry referred to Kelce as a “narcissist” and accused him of leading her to believe they had a future, she clarified that her grievances were not directed towards Taylor Swift. She stated that she had no issues if Swift were to date her ex, asserting that she had him first.
Addressing claims that she was seeking fame or attention, Benberry vehemently denied these accusations. Her concern lies in the fact that Kelce’s actions have made her feel mocked and belittled after believing they had a genuine connection in the past.
Looking Ahead
Despite the drama surrounding their past relationship, Taylor Swift seems unfazed and reportedly plans to attend Kelce’s upcoming game against the Jets. Regardless of the outcome, Maya Benberry wants to emphasize that her issues are primarily with Travis Kelce and not with Taylor Swift, as the two occupy different realms of success and influence.
