Bethenny Frankel is ready to squash her beef with Travis Kelce’s dad—but not before staunchly defending her viral comments about the NFL player and Taylor Swift.

On the latest episode of her podcast Just B With Bethenny Frankel, the Real Housewives alum addressed the dustup between her and Ed Kelce, which began last week when Frankel called his son a “peacock” who loves to “be the center of attention.” In that same Instagram video, she went on to say that she didn’t believe the Chiefs player’s romance with Swift would last because “Taylor Swift is certainly a peacock. So there really, usually can only be one peacock in a relationship.”

As Frankel’s comments circulated on social media, they caught the attention of Ed, who wrote in a Facebook post, “Who TF is this troll?”

“Travis Kelce’s dad called me a troll,” Frankel said on her new podcast episode. “I do actually understand and admire a parent coming to their child’s defense. I just wish he would have expressed an opinion versus just a verbal insult, because I think we teach our kids it’s better to express yourself than to just criticize.”
