Erin Andrews Responds to 'Rude' Aaron Rodgers Accusation

Erin Andrews found herself in some hot water of late after she was accused of taking a jab at New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This is after the Fox Sports broadcaster seemingly called the four-time league MVP out for snubbing Charissa Thompson, Andrews' co-worker at Fox Sports, during Thursday's game between the Jets and the New England Patriots.

On the latest episode of her podcast "Calm Down," Andrews openly spoke about Rodgers' decision not to join Thompson and the rest of the broadcasting crew for the postgame show.

“I’d rather it have been up there on the desk,” Andrews said of Rodgers, via Brandon Contes of Awful Announcing . “I was looking forward to two of my really good friends yukking it up. I didn’t love it.

"... I get really sensitive when our people … it’s not that they don’t make the time – I’ve made jokes to Tom Brady about it, ‘Remember the game that you threw for 400 yards and you ran right past me on postgame and I reapplied lip gloss, are you insane?’ It’s just rude,” Andrews continued. “Or now Aaron, when I talk to you, ‘How dare you not go up on that desk with Charissa.’ It does get personal.”

This statement led to Andrews being criticized by several media outlets, including entertainment magazine Us Weekly, who claimed that Andrews "called out" Rodgers.

"Erin Andrews called out Aaron Rodgers for snubbing her podcast cohost Charissa Thompson from an interview after his recent #Jets victory. See what she revealed about the post-game etiquette — and why she felt this specific instance was rude — at the link in bio," read the post.

Andrews caught wind of the post and she did not like it one bit. The renowned sportscaster could not help but respond to the accusation from Us Weekly as she explained her side of the story. According to Andrews, her statement was taken out of context.

"HOLY CLICKBAIT!" she wrote on Instagram. "But let's not include how I was laughing, being sarcastic, & telling funny stories abt our friendship. The only thing "rude & personal" is the headline #calmdown"

Based on her statement above, Andrews is claiming that he never took a shot at Rodgers and that she was merely joking around. She also pointed out that she considers the Jets quarterback to be a friend.

It is also clear that Andrews isn't very pleased with how Us Weekly seems to have misconstrued her message here -- and she wasn't shy about calling them out for it.
