Reality TV star mortified by Chiefs star Travis Kelce’s impersonation of her

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce knows a little something about reality television, having starred in the 2016 E show, “Catching Kelce.”

Kelce has admitted in the past that the show wasn’t his finest work and he’s tried to put it behind him.

“It was kind of like The Bachelor, except instead of roses, I handed out footballs, and instead of watching, people did not,” Kelce joked during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue a year ago. “Which was a little embarrassing.”

That bad experience hasn’t stopped Kelce from watching reality television himself.

In Wednesday’s episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce told his brother to check out the Netflix reality show, “Love Is Blind.”

“It is the worst trash ever,” Kelce said. “It’s worse than ‘Catching Kelce,’ but it is so .... good. Honestly, I just want you to watch the one girl and just hear her.”

When Kelce said “one girl,” there was a photo of Chelsea Blackwell, and Kelce later imitated her by saying, “You think I’m clingy? I’m clingy? Really?”

Take a look.

Guess who saw that? Yep, it was Blackwell. She posted a video on TikTok saying she was horrified to see Kelce’s impression.

“I just got the most mortifying news,” she said. “I feel like I need to crawl under a rock at this point because Travis Kelce did an impersonation of me.

“And the only outlet knows me is from whining ... Taylor Swift, if you’re watching it with him, please stop.”

If, like me, you’re unfamiliar with “Love Is Blind,” here is a description of the show, which airs on Netflix, via NPR: “In the show, men and women all ‘date’ for about a week without ever seeing each other. To keep the contestants hidden from their possible love matches, they each conduct their dates inside a separate pod,with a wall separating them.”
