The wife of Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay is pushing back about the recent online “negativity” she’s received amid the team’s two-game losing streak.
“Lemme just get this out the way!!” Jennifer Slay wrote on X on Sunday night during the Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game. “IDGAF what you gotta say but stop acting like I’m on the field. Like…I don’t understand. Leave me tf alone. Y’all be weird. I NEVER entertain this BS but enough is enough. S---”
Less than an hour later, as the Eagles were getting blown out by the Cowboys, the former college basketball star, 32, elaborated about the social media feedback that has been thrown her way.
"Real s---…the amount of negativity I get is honestly sickening,” she wrote. “I be tryna be so positive on this app and spread so much love for me to get so much hate. S--- makes no sense! It’s sad honestly!!! Smh.”
The Eagles went on to drop the game against the Cowboys, 33-13, and the previous week, lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 42-19.
Jennifer’s pushback resonated with her also-frustrated fans, including one who wrote: “Stay strong and keep spreading the love!!! Our team, our city, and this platform needs more positive people like you!!!”

The Oklahoma native is known for being a supportive spouse to Darius, who is in his fourth season in Philly after he was traded from the Detroit Lions.
Last season, on the cusp of the Eagles-Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl game, The Athletic documented a special way Jennifer also buoys the team — by making her popular banana pudding, based on a recipe she learned from Elise Tate, the wife of Darius’ former Lions teammate Golden Tate.
“So it kind of turned into a thing there,” Jennifer told the outlet “And then when we got here with the Eagles, I’m like, ‘You know what, why not keep the tradition going?’ Because it was something I enjoy and also something Slay enjoyed because he could brag about it: ‘My wife’s banana pudding is so good!’”
And the sweet treat has earned Jennifer positive reviews from players on the Eagles, including Jordan Mailata, Jason Kelce and Jalen Hurts.
“Any time she makes the banana pudding for the group,” safety Marcus Epps told The Athletic, “it makes my day.”
