Erin Andrews quickly came to the defense of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott following his offseason breakup.
Prescott, the star quarterback of the Cowboys, and his fiancee, Sarah Jane Ramos, announced they were breaking up, with their wedding being called off.
Andrews, meanwhile, came to his defense.
“I’ve been covering (him) since he took over that job his rookie season, I’ve seen him go through hell and back,” Andrews said. “He’s a guy I get very defensive about because he’s so lovely.
“Dak is the kind of guy (who you) know everything he stands for off the field. …''
However, earlier this offseason, the New York Post reported that Prescott's fiancee called off their wedding due to infidelity concerns.
“Sarah Jane Ramos called off her wedding to NFL star Dak Prescott after accusing him of ‘ongoing infidelity issues,’” Page Six reported.
“A source familiar with the situation claims to us that Ramos believes Prescott had a history of communicating with other women during his relationship with her — but that she stayed with him hoping he would clean up his act for the sake of their family.”
Andrews' defense of Prescott gets some backlash
While Andrews is more than in her right to come to Prescott's defense, does she really know what he stands for - and what he does - off the field?
"Do you?" one critic stated.
"If Prescott is truly guilty of ‘ongoing infidelity issues'' - and I certainly do not know that the accusation is true - how can Andrews claim to "know everything he stands for off the field''?"
Andrews, and the rest of the media, might not know everything that went on.
"Prescott can be a great teammate and a "lovely'' person ... and still be the target of the ire of Cowboys fans upset over the team's shortcomings. Oh, and be the target of NFL fans because Dallas is the No. 1 team in sports when it comes to "loving to hate,'" the critic added.
"But that doesn't absolve Prescott from scrutiny regarding the allegations in his personal life."
Prescott has yet to fully comment on what happened.
