Nikki Glaser makes her parents APOLOGIZE for their ‘gross’ comment about Julia Roberts and Travis Kelce at Eras concert
Nikki Glaser is demanding her parents apologize for their bad take on Julia Roberts’ interaction with Travis Kelce at Sunday’s Taylor Swift show in Dublin, Ireland.
‘Uh oh,’ the comedian, 40, captioned a since-expired Instagram Story screenshot of a news story about her parents’ remarks on Tuesday, writing: ‘My parents are going to issue an apology soon.’
The controversy arose from Nikki’s – who defended her jokes at the Tom Brady roast – mom Julie and dad Edward reacting to footage of the Steel Magnolias actress, 56, affectionately touching Kelce’s, 34, chest while talking to him.
‘She’s so gross,’ Julie said, adding that it was ‘weird’ that the actress was ‘itching’ the athlete’s chest.
Edward agreed, saying that Kelce was ‘trying to get away’ from Roberts.
‘She’s trying to French kiss him right now!’ Julie went on, adding: ‘Just kidding. She would.’
On Tuesday, Julie admitted that she ‘should’ve said something different than the word gross’ in an apology video via Nikki’s Instagram Story.
‘It’s not a nice word. … So, I’m issuing an apology right now for using the word — but I think it was really weird.’
Julie went on to say that she ‘meant to say just weird, not [gross] and weird.’ Edward added in that it was ‘too late’ to take back her comments.
In the social media footage of Roberts and Kelce, the Oscar winner simply told the Super Bowl champion that she was happy for him and Taylor.
