When WAGs Go Wild On Twitter

By Gary Dudak

The social media equivalent of watching a car crash is probably watching someone go on a crazy, anger-fueled Twitter rant. It’s amazing to witness while it’s happening, you can’t look away, and someone ultimately ends up getting hurt. Usually that person is the ranter, but in the case of these WAGs below, it can also be their husbands and boyfriends who end up being injured. Let’s focus on some of the main offenders.

The wife of NFL cornerback Brent Grimes is more than outspoken, she’s also an idiot. Think I’m being harsh? Take a look at her recent anti-Semitic tweet about her husband’s former team, the Miami Dolphins:

Her tweets have become protected since this, which she justifies in her bio by writing this: “Seeing my tweets is a PRIVILEGE, not a right!” But before that, she fired off a shot at sports writer Jay Glazer, whom she was also not happy with:

OK, Miko. But thankfully we have screenshots of more crazy tweets from the past, in which Miko openly ripped her husband’s teammate at the time, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill:

Oh, and just one more so you get the full picture:

It should come as no surprise that Miko’s the only WAG on this list we were able to use a mugshot for.

Nobody likes a sore loser, and Steph Curry’s wife was exactly that on Twitter throughout the choke job by the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Here are a couple examples:



Of course she apologized afterward, but then made matters worse by acknowledging the trolls who were photoshopping photos of LeBron and Kyrie Irving into photos of her family.

Which of course led to more of them:



She should have just signed off Twitter and never returned.

Sometimes WAGs don’t go completely crazy on Twitter with a wild rant. Sometimes they simply throw shade in the most passive-aggressive way they can. Like this tweet from Union directed toward the Miami Heat front office regarding their disrespect of her husband, Dwyane Wade:



Sadly for Heat fans, this tweet was prophetic. Wade left the Heat for the Bulls a few days later.

In 2013, the girlfriend (now wife) of Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was fed up with the hometown fans. Instead of complaining to friends and family about it behind the scenes, she made the mistake of going to Twitter first:

This was obviously a bad idea, and only led to an epic burn of her poor husband:

In 2013, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price didn’t fare well against the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS. But even before that, his girlfriend was not happy with Boston fans:



Then, after Game 2 when Price got rocked by David Ortiz, Smith tweeted this:



Nothing classier than telling opposing fans to keep it classy. But hey, at least this story has a happy ending: Price now plays for the Red Sox.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t include one soccer WAG, so this will have to do. When Australian football star Adam Federici was replaced as goalkeeper for the Reading FC in 2012, his girlfriend was pissed. So, she blasted out these tweets:

Football has left me feeling totally numb and empty inside! For once I have NO explanation! #noloyalty #absolutejoke.

Unbelievable!!! You need thick skin for success!!

As you can see, there are no screenshots or embedded tweets here. That’s because immediately afterward, Gardner deleted her account. Perhaps all hotheaded WAGs should do the same.
