Kylie Kelce Photo Finder Andree Goldberg Apologizes for Viral Screaming Match With Wife Jason Kelce
The New Jersey woman seen in a roadside face-off with Kylie, the wife of former NFL star Jason Kelce, after being denied a photo with the couple during the Memorial Day weekend, apologized Friday for the “heated” confrontation.
“In a heated moment, I said things that did not suit me and that I regret and for that, I am sorry,” Andrée Goldberg said in a statement obtained by WPVI.
The viral moment happened when the couple, on a low-key date, were idling around in their car waiting for a spot to open up at Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Margate City, New Jersey.
when Goldberg wanted a photo with the retired Philadelphia Eagles center.
Goldberg approached the couple’s truck hoping to take a photo with the retired Philadelphia Eagles center and banged on the vehicle to get their attention, according to PhillyChitChat.
The Kelces politely denied taking a photo with Goldberg’s family, but Goldberg quickly became furious and tried to tear the couple apart.
“You will never be allowed into this city again,” Goldberg can be heard saying in the video posted by the Philadelphia-based podcast “Word to the Wise.”
A man in a blue shirt stepped between the obnoxious fan and Kylie, while Jason stood to the side.
“I can smell the alcohol on your breath, you’re embarrassing yourself,” Kylie appeared to say before the video cut off.
Goldberg says she apologized directly to the Kelce family on Saturday.
“I want to publicly apologize to them and to our community. My anger and actions do not reflect who I am and are certainly not indicative of the welcoming community of Margate,” the woman said.
Goldberg, who runs Teuscher Chocolates, a luxury Swiss chocolate shop in Wayne, New Jersey, with her husband Bryan, says the Kelces showed her kindness after the parking lot incident.
“As an adult and proud member of my community, I should have recognized and respected their right to privacy from the beginning,” Goldberg said in the statement, according to PhillyMag. “I deeply appreciate the grace and understanding the Kelces have shown me and wish them nothing but the best.”
After the video went viral, Margate Town Mayor Michael Collins apologized to the Kelces on behalf of the town and offered to buy the couple’s dinner.
“As a father of young children, I know as well as anyone the importance of a date night with your wife and I’d like to suggest making a date night again with dinner for me,” Collins said.
Since the incident, Kylie has received support from one of Jason’s former teammates.
“Barking at the wrong lady from the tree lol,” Chris Long, former defensive end and son of NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long, wrote Tuesday on X.
Long, 39, and Kelce, 36, won a Super Bowl together during the 2017 season when the Eagles beat the Patriots, 41-33.
The Kelces have not publicly addressed the incident, but it could serve as fodder for the former NFL star on the next episode of the “New Heights Podcast” he hosts with his brother Travis.
