For someone that says he loves to be private, he sure is airing out people’s business a lot.

This from a guy who did a darkness retreat and hadn't spoken to his parents in years.

u/MeowMeowbiggalo 54m ago

Thing is, he can be a dumb weirdo. They are everywhere, maybe im one but the world wont make fun of you if you keep shit to yourself. He just needs to realize hes not special and doesnt need share every thought in his head on social media outlets.

Didn’t she say something first?

10

u/Iam_nighthawk 2h ago

I mean tbf…she called him abusive. His response? “Yeah well she was depressed and didn’t want to fuck”

A normal person would have said nothing at all or would have categorically denied the being called abusive part lol.

3

u/Self-Comprehensive 37m ago

"I'm sorry to hear she feels that way. She's a great person and I wish her well." That's really all he'd have had to say to look like a better person.

2

u/inv4alfonso 34m ago

First of all, a normal person would absolutely say something back. Second, celebrities are not normal people, a normal person being called abusive even publicly does not face the same consequences that a celebrity would. Heck, Rodgers is proof that those comments can create a reputation that for all we know is bullshit.

1

u/Ok-Inspector-9699 27m ago

Are u a real person? You think he gets extra reasons to say something back bc he is famous?

1

u/inv4alfonso 23m ago

I said that the normal response absolutely is to say something back. It this happens to you I doubt you say nothing at all or just categorically deny it like the comment I replied to stated. BTW, Rodgers is denying it. Denying it doesn't mean say "I'm not an abuser". I also said that what is said to him is affects him more because he is famous. Which obviously incentives him to respond.

u/MeanGulf 2h ago

So dig a deeper hole?

I truly don’t get this mindset hahaha

6

u/SipJaint 2h ago

God damn I guess I’m just gonna keep commenting this because people refuse to research the context before opening their mouths. He wasn’t randomly attacking Patrick/Woodley. He was saying the media uses negative things his ex-girlfriends/ex-teammates as “proof” of him being a bad person when they’re only getting one side of the story. He then refuted some of the things that have been said about him. That makes him an asshole?

u/Separate-Suspect-726 1h ago

Literally no one heard their gripes until he broadcast them.

u/Javy_Baby 2h ago

I know the context. He agreed to the interview knowing he would be asked these questions. He could've simply decided to not comment or give a generic comment.. HE CHOSE to not do that. He's not a victim of anything.

u/Javy_Baby 24m ago

You would do well to not overanalyze the mindsets of people society has deemed celebrities.

They are no different than any other moronic ignorant mouthbreather with their own issues and lunacy. They just happen to be good at something that a mouthbreathing society thinks is noteworthy.

1

u/East_Shine3892 2h ago

If he truly liked to keep things private then he should be capable of not reacting though. He's a grown man...

1

u/Ok-Inspector-9699 29m ago

So he doesn’t want to stay private bc he open to airing it out. He also claims he wants to keep it private. Thats the issue people see. He can react in private, like he claims to want. But he didn’t. So his claim is bunk. Just like his wife.

Man, if I were a good looking NFL QB, a future first ballot hall of famer with half a billion dollars in the bank, do you know how easy it would be for hot women to fall in love with me and worship my nasty butt hole? And yet they seem to all say no to him and eventually leave him.

10

u/worthlessgarby 1h ago

Its because hes actually gay. Look up Kevin Lanflisi if you don't believe it.

These are all just pr arrangements he had so people wouldn't question it as much. The women likely knew he was gay before entering it.

2

u/Electronic-Minute007 28m ago

His being married to a woman no one is publicly aware of is taking on a ‘I have a girlfriend in Canada; you just haven’t met her’ feel.

1

u/No_Fish265 27m ago

He’s gay, dude

37

u/Leroyp331 2h ago

I think honestly he's probably very depressed himself. Probably having a lot of existential dread as a result of the end of his career. Doesn't have a great relationship with his family. He's probably going through it himself.

34

u/Wonderful-Loss827 2h ago

If he wasn't good at football, dude might've stormed the Capitol or been a serial killer.

I don't believe he's depressed. I think he's a narcissist.

5

u/Leroyp331 1h ago

Not mutually exclusive at all

3

u/Javy_Baby 1h ago

In this case, it probably is. His behavior today is the same as It's always been, even going back to highschool. If you've ever dealt first-hand with a narcissist, you'd know the difference between depression as a narcissist and pure narcissistic behavior.

u/Organic_Rough4433 2h ago

Hes always been a huge egotistical douchbag. Just mad he only got 1 ring.

Most egotistical douchbags you run into in life are sad miserable losers without much substance once you really get to know them. Once they lose the thing that strokes the ego it just gets worse.

Probably another reason he’s depressed is he’s also gay or at least bi and was rumored to the “big name” coming out but decided not to then had falling out with his former boyfriend and Packers assistant

u/SLAYER_IN_ME 2h ago

What is with him lately. Every interview he does he has diarrhea of the mouth and he trashes everyone he’s had a relationship with. I don’t trash my exes because they’re people too. It’s also no one else’s fucking business. It’s makes him look like a bigger piece of shit than he already does.

u/East_Shine3892 2h ago

Sad man probably with brain damage and nothing to give meaning to his life now that he can't play football.

u/momoenthusiastic 1h ago

1

u/nopriors 1h ago

Yeah seriously. He needs to seek real help fast. Not someone who cost 20x just agree with him but a professional who will guide him back into society.
He was amazing on the field and smart enough in school to build an identity around. He reached the age where that doesn’t matter anymore and needs to accept it.
