NFL host Kay Adams is dealing with heavy criticism after an interview that many fans found awkward and uncomfortable. The backlash began when her interview with Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean went viral. Many viewers felt she pushed too much into his personal life.

The interview happened during Super Bowl 60 media coverage. At first, Adams asked DeJean about football. He talked about his teammate Reed Blankenship and Blankenship’s upcoming free agency. He also shared that he enjoys being a fun uncle to Blankenship’s baby. The conversation then became uncomfortable.

Adams then asked DeJean a question about a rumored romance with WWE star Nikki Bella. She said, “And Aunt Nikki Bella?” DeJean clearly looked uneasy with the comment. He avoided the topic and tried to move on. “Good one,” DeJean replied. “I don’t know about that, she’s a good friend.”

Adams did not drop the subject. She brought up recent comments Bella made on WWE’s “Raw” about the rumors. Bella joked on the show and said, “Can you blame a girl for having good taste? I mean, Pro Bowl baby.” Adams asked DeJean to react to the quote.

DeJean stayed calm and polite. He refused to feed the gossip. “She’s amazing at what she does,” he said. “She’s been doing it for a long time.” The young Eagles star kept his answers short and focused on respect.

DeJean stayed calm and respectful. He avoided gossip and praised Bella’s career. He said she is great at what she does and has been successful for a long time.

Many fans believed Adams went too far with her questions. The clip quickly spread on social media and drew heavy criticism. Adams later responded and said she supports DeJean, but some fans still disagreed with her.

Fans React Strongly Online Against Adams

NFL fans did not hold back after watching the exchange. Many accused Adams of ignoring clear signs of discomfort from DeJean. Social media filled with negative reactions within hours.

“Kay is just so weird bro holy he doesn’t wanna talk bout it but she keep pushing it, genuinely weird person,” one fan wrote online.

Another viewer pointed out DeJean’s body language. “You can tell how uncomfortable he is. Please stop,” the fan said.

Others criticized Adams for creating an awkward moment on purpose. “Kay had to make it awkward,” another comment read.

One frustrated Eagles supporter went even further. “I wish him cursing her out wouldn’t be viewed as wrong cause she need that one good time,” the fan posted.

The strong reaction shows that fans are very protective of players. Many people think interviews should stay focused on football, especially during Super Bowl week. They also believe reporters should respect personal boundaries.

Kay Adams is still a well-known and popular NFL media host. However, this situation has started a bigger discussion about how personal interviews should be. Cooper DeJean has not said anything more about the incident.

For now, attention is moving back to the game. But the awkward interview is still being talked about as Super Bowl 60 gets closer.
