Aaron Rodgers just wants to live his life in peace.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback was spotted with a band around his left ring finger, which he confirmed was a wedding ring at minicamp.
He would soon vent about the “sick society” and the paparazzi invading his privacy, which is all his wife wants.
The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN has allowed him to vent his frustrations, and he does not mince words. The conversation began with McAfee making jokes about how the quarterback didn’t invite the show to his wedding.
Rodgers seemingly slammed the NFL media and fans for not allowing him more privacy.
“It’s a sick society, isn’t it? It’s a sick society. I live in the public eyes for 20 years. I had public relationships,” Aaron Rodgers stated to start the rant. “How did that work out?
“I had people leaking my home information and making up stories that we bought a house together; I had people calling paparazzi. I had people posting personal life on the internet, and now, I didn’t want any of that. Didn’t like any of that.
“Now I’m with somebody who’s private, who doesn’t want to be in the public eye, who didn’t sign up to be a celebrity, doesn’t want to be a part of it, and because I do things in private because I want my personal life to be private, now I’m somehow, I’m weird.”
Now, we are finding out what set Rodgers off on that rant.
Rodgers only played a handful of snaps during the 2023 season before tearing his Achilles tendon in the team’s opening game of the season. In 2024, he played in all 17 games and completed 63.0% of his passes for 3,897 yards, with 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Aaron Rodgers had some fun in the sun this weekend in Southern California.
The new Steelers quarterback hit the beach with a friend and his adorable husky pup near his Malibu home.
The outing came two weeks after Rodgers confirmed he’s been married a “couple of months.”
He was not happy to see the paparazzi.
Rodgers spotted paparazzi, pointed them out, and then flipped them the middle finger.
