Kelly Stafford Calls Out 'Highly Disrespectful' Treatment Of Her Husband

Kelly Stafford is no longer hosting her own podcast, "The Morning After."

"I feel this pull to get back to my roots, and to do that, I have to pour into the people I love most," Kelly posted on Instagram. "I've got a husband in the middle of one hell of a season, and I want to be fully locked in with him. I want to be present for my girls. I want to give my whole heart to the people who have always given theirs to me."

She continued.

"What I don't miss is the anxiety I used to get the night before every episode was released, wondering what headline was going to be created from the episode," she said in a video posted on her Instagram story. "It just felt like my name was in the headlines every week, and that is not what I wanted this podcast for. So that is a big reason why I took a break. I needed a mental break."

But Kelly Stafford isn't done making headlines.

She called out "highly disrespectful" treatment of her husband, Matthew, two decades into his professional career.

Kelly Stafford finds it highly disrespectful when fans, coaches, players, the media, etc. refers to Matthew Stafford as "Matt."

"When people don't know him, they call him Matt," she wrote, via the California Post. "What gets me is that he's been playing in the league now for close to two decades and people who have jobs reporting on it, still call him Matt.

"I find it highly disrespectful, but honestly kinda goes along with Matthew's whole career."

It's understandable to want to be called "Matthew" instead of "Matt," but it's probably not intentionally disrespectful, either.
