By now, you’ve surely heard about Kate Upton’s tweet from Wednesday, right? The one in which she called out Cy Young voters for snubbing her fiancé, Justin Verlander?
Yeah, this one:
Upton was frustrated that Rick Porcello edged out Verlander for the Cy Young. Verlander did receive the most first-place votes, but he finished second in overall voting. Upton even said the MLB should fire the writers who left Verlander off their ballots—because Major League Baseball has the authority to fire journalists?
Naturally, at least one journalist, seeing the opportunity for a Hot Take, took exception to Upton’s rant. In a column, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News told the model and actress to “pipe down.”
Verlander had his bae’s back, though, and engaged in a Twitter exchange with Feinsand.
The lesson: Kate Upton and Justin Verlander have each other’s backs, and they won’t hesitate to publicly call you out if you don’t support their significant other.
