CJ Gardner-Johnson's mom claps back at Swifties for flooding her restaurant with bad reviews over Eagles star's Travis Kelce diss

CJ Gardner-Johnson's mom clapped back at the Swifties after the fans wrote bad reviews about her restaurant. Following the Chiefs' loss in Super Bowl 59, Johnson made a comment about Travis Kelce's personal life, triggering Swifties, who went ahead and wrote bad reviews on the internet about CJ Gardner-Johnson's mom Delatron Johnson's restaurant, The Kings Grill, in Florida.

On Tuesday, in an interview with TMZ, Delatron opened up about the situation and revealed that the restaurant the fans were criticizing online had been closed since Jan. 25. They had been planning to sell it, so there was "really no backlash." She said:

"There is really no backlash because we are in the process of selling Kings Grill anyways. It didn’t affect us one way or another.”

She also reflected on reading the comments written by Swifties on the internet.

“I have friends who were sending me the screenshots. They were going, ‘Oh my god, look at this!’ And the first thing everyone said was, ‘the Swifties have attacked," Mrs Johnson said (via New York Post).

“Yes, we’ve seen all the reviews. The joke is really on the Swifties and everyone entertaining the reviews because Kings Grill is closed," she added.

CJ Gardner-Johnson took a subtly jibe at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship. After the Eagles outperformed the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 to win the prestigious championship, Johnson took to his Instagram account to share a story. He posted Travis Kelce's picture along with the caption:

"Should've stayed w that thick s*"*

The comment was seemingly made about Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. However, Chiefs fans and Swifties were triggered by Johnson's comment and flooded his mom's restaurant with negative reviews.
