While the Kelce family is no stranger to the spotlight, the drama usually happens on the football field or a concert stage. However, a new kind of tension has surfaced following Donna Kelce’s recent entry into competitive reality television.
In a candid appearance on the Green Light podcast this morning, Kylie Kelce revealed her "honest feelings" about her mother-in-law's brief but buzzy stint on Season 4 of The Traitors.
"It Irked Me": Kylie Slams the "Secret Traitor" Twist
Donna Kelce, the beloved mother of Travis and Jason Kelce, shocked viewers when she was revealed as the show’s first-ever "Secret Traitor." Unlike the standard villains of the show, Donna’s identity was hidden even from her fellow Traitors, leaving her to navigate the game in complete isolation.

Speaking with host Beau Allen, Kylie Kelce didn’t hold back her frustration with how the show’s producers handled "Mama Kelce." Despite Donna being eliminated after just two-and-a-half episodes, the fallout is still a hot topic in the Kelce household."I'm annoyed that she was a secret traitor for some reason," Kylie admitted during the podcast. "So, for some reason, her being a secret traitor has irked me to a degree I can't explain."
Kylie argued that the twist actually put Donna at a disadvantage, preventing her from forming the "sneaky" alliances that typically help Traitors survive. "I wanted her to have her best chance to team up with people... If she were a traitor but not the secret traitor, I think she would have nailed it because she's just too sweet," Kylie added.While Kylie expressed her frustration with the game's mechanics, she remained supportive of Donna’s decision to keep the family in the dark while filming. Previously, Kylie told PEOPLE that Donna "did not tell us much at all," a move she respected despite her desire for an "inside scoop."Even with the early exit, Donna’s time in the Scottish Highlands was far from a failure. She made history as the first contestant to hold the "Secret Traitor" title and proved she could hold a poker face with the best of them even if it "irked" her daughter-in-law in the process.As for Kylie, don't expect to see her in a hooded cloak anytime soon. During the same conversation, she shut down rumors of her own reality TV future, joking that she'd rather be behind the camera than in front of it. For now, the Kelce family seems happy to leave the "traitorous" behavior to the professionals or at least to the next season of Peacock’s hit show.
