Joy Taylor is catching heat after going after Aaron Rodgers on her show, turning a messy relationship story into a bigger social-media flashpoint.
The conversation started when Rodgers brought up his broken engagement to Shailene Woodley on Cam Heyward’s podcast. He said Woodley had asked for his permission to sleep with another man just days after he proposed. That version of events drew plenty of attention on its own, and Woodley’s circle reportedly pushed back through TMZ.
Taylor then jumped in on Two Personal and didn’t exactly ease into it. “First of all, I try to stay out of white people’s business, and this is white people’s business at the highest level,” Taylor said.
She then aimed straight at Rodgers, arguing that his choice to talk made him look worse, not Woodley. “You said willingly, for free, that your girl looked you in the face and said, I will marry you.
But first, I’m gonna [expletive] him,” she continued. “Wild, wild way to let the whole world know you have zero motion.
You could not waterboard this information out of me.”
Once the clip started making the rounds, the reaction split fast. Some listeners backed Taylor’s read, while others said she was the one oversharing.
“Facts!!! First think I thought was, he short w**ding them broads!
Can’t f**k for shit! He’s a whole CLOWN 🤡 for that!”
one fan wrote. Another fired back, “She’s surely doing a good job of staying out of peoples business by talking all about his business 😂 She a straight up moron,”
A third critic took aim at Taylor’s body language and argued Rodgers had his own reason for putting the story out there. “Joy has no clue, as she sits there with her leg crossed in a masculine manner, that Rodgers put this out to show the world what kind of woman his ex was. It’s obvious that he was not bowing down to her or giving in to any of her antics, requests, or demands,” the user said.
The backlash didn’t stop with the segment itself. Some people dragged up Taylor’s 2025 workplace lawsuit at Fox Sports, where a former hairstylist accused her of dismissing harassment concerns and having affairs with two coworkers.
That detail became part of the online pile-on as commenters questioned why she was weighing in on anyone else’s private life. “Joy Taylor is and was out here f***ing her coworkers and bosses, why is she even talking about this like she had never done anything wrong,” one person wrote.
Another asked, “Aint this the chick who was having s*x with her coworkers to keep her job😭?”
Taylor left Fox Sports last year after that lawsuit and now hosts her own independent show.
Woodley has mostly stayed quiet. At a recent pre-Emmys event, she briefly laughed off a reporter’s question about Rodgers.
Rodgers, meanwhile, is back to football. He led Pittsburgh to a 20-13 Week 1 win over Atlanta and is moving into Week 2 with the focus on the field.

Steelers Hit With Two Costly Absences Ahead Of Patriots Trip
The Steelers head into their trip to New England dealing with a pair of absences that change both sides of the ball. Joey Porter Jr. is out while contract negotiations continue, and Michael Pittman Jr. will miss the game because of a foot injury, leaving Pittsburgh thinner at cornerback and taking away one of its receiving options before facing the Patriots.
Germie Bernard now looks set for a bigger role with Pittman Jr. sidelined, which gives the rookie a chance to make himself part of the conversation a little earlier than expected. For a Steelers team trying to stay steady on the road, the timing of these absences only adds to the challenge of getting through a tricky AFC test. [Read more 🡒]
Steelers Fans Wont Like What Joey Porter Jr. Might Be Worth
The contract picture around Joey Porter Jr. has become one of the more uncomfortable talking points in Pittsburgh, because the Steelers and the young corner still have not reached an extension agreement. For a team that has invested in developing Porter into a key part of its secondary, the lack of a deal has naturally led to trade speculation, even if nothing has been publicly finalized.
What may sting most for Steelers fans is the sense that the return would not match the talent or the expectations surrounding him. Early talk suggests Pittsburgh might only be looking at a second- or third-round pick if it ever got serious about moving him, which is a far cry from the kind of haul some around the league may have once imagined. For now, the situation is still unresolved, and the longer it drags on, the more it invites questions about where Porter fits in the Steelers' future. [Read more 🡒]
Steelers Secondary Faces A Different Kind Of Test This Week
A.J. Brown landing on injured reserve changes the shape of Pittsburghs Week 2 assignment, but it does not make the Patriots passing game any easier to sort out. Mike Vrabel said Brown worked from multiple receiver spots, and with him out, New England is expected to spread those looks around, using players such as Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and Romeo Doubs in different ways.
For the Steelers secondary, the challenge becomes less about tracking one featured target and more about adjusting to a receiver rotation that can shift from snap to snap. Browns absence removes a familiar centerpiece, but it also leaves Pittsburgh preparing for a more varied New England attack, which can be its own kind of test for a defensive backfield. [Read more 🡒]
