Smith asked, “How is it that y'all know that men have egos, and males are ego dominant? But you forget that when it comes to your own man”. Furthermore added, “If you are Mrs. Stafford, what could possibly make you think that it is okay for you to go home, after revealing to the public, 'I kicked it with his backup”

While Smith made it clear that he wasn’t attacking Kelly’s character, he mentioned meeting her once and thinking she was a nice person—he still believed her public disclosure was a bad idea. He ended his commentary by asking, "What would make you think that's okay?"

The early days of Kelly and Matthew's relationship

Kelly Stafford’s words take fans back to the early days of her relationship with Matthew at the University of Georgia. Their romance had its ups and downs. Kelly said she dated Matthew’s backup quarterback to get back at him for not committing to their relationship. She admitted she did this to make Matthew jealous, and it worked.

"I hated him, I loved him," she said. "I dated the backup quarterback to p** him off - which worked," she described Matthew as a sweet, southern gentleman, while the backup was a "bad boy" who made Matthew jealous. 

Kelly added that Matthew and the backup lived in the same dorm, and he would see her car parked there.

One day, Matthew confronted Kelly by getting into her car and refusing to leave, saying, "He's not right for you." Kelly replied, "You can't tell me that!" 

This incident made Matthew take her more seriously. Despite their rocky start, Kelly and Matthew now have a strong marriage, though her recent revelation has brought their past back into focus.
