“She’s Using You”: Former Super Bowl Champion Blames Madison Beer For Justin Herbert’s Disastrous Start To The Season

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

What has happened to Justin Herbert? He and the Chargers came into a new year hoping to rebound from a postseason loss.

Despite that loss, the team had an exceptional regular season. The Los Angeles Chargers finished their 2025 NFL regular season with a strong 11–6 record. Under head coach Jim Harbaugh, the team finished second in the highly competitive AFC West division. Consequently, their solid record allowed them to clinch consecutive playoff berths for the first time since 2009.

Led by franchise quarterback Justin Herbert, who threw for 3,727 passing yards, the offense found steady momentum.

The same cannot be said for 2026, and now Madison Beer is being blamed for it.

Ex-Pro Safety Explodes Online, Claiming Madison Beer Is Completely Ruining Justin Herbert’s Career

Former NFL safety T.J. Ward publicly blamed singer Madison Beer for distracting Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

Ward recently claimed on the Speakeasy podcast that Beer is actively taking focus away from Herbert’s professional career. He noted that a famous girlfriend demands extra time that a player should dedicate to studying film. Ward directly warned the quarterback by saying, “This girl, Beer, she’s using you, buddy.” Furthermore, he predicted she will be “outta there” the exact moment Herbert loses his NFL stardom.

‘When you get a girl, the little extra time you demand spending on your craft, she’s demanding it. There’s going to be a downfall coming. You’re going to get worse.

‘The time you’re on the couch watching film, she’s gonna be all up under you. The time you spend your Friday nights at home, she wants to go to dinner.

‘The time you’re rehabbing or staying late in the facility… now, you’ve got to go home and kick it with your girlfriend, especially if she’s famous. Now, you’ve got cameras on you. Your offseason is in Europe and taking photoshoots….

‘As soon as you start having a lack of success, Justin, this girl, Beer, she’s using you, buddy. She’s going to be out of there… Get back on your craft. She’s ruining it.’

Beer Has Been Around Herbert All Offseason

Pop star Madison Beer has been a highly visible, constant source of support for her fiancé, Justin Herbert, this entire offseason. The happy couple publicly announced their exciting engagement in late July, right before football activities intensified.

Shortly afterward, Beer frequently accompanied the superstar quarterback directly onto the field during Chargers training camp sessions. Multiple romantic clips of the two lovebirds showing heavy affection on the sidelines quickly went viral online.

She was spotted sitting on the practice grass and affectionately running her fingers through his long hair.

Furthermore, head coach Jim Harbaugh noted that the entire locker room thoroughly enjoyed her positive presence. As the regular season kicked off, Beer successfully attended both of the team’s opening home games.

Unfortunately, the team is winless.
