sport news Kate Abdo's boxing trainer boyfriend breaks silence on 'obnoxious' Jamie ... trends now
Kate Abdo's partner Malik Scott has broken his silence on Jamie Carragher's on-air comments about the CBS Sports anchor not being 'loyal' two weeks.
The pair were involved in an awkward exchange during the broadcaster's Champions League coverage, with Carragher's wisecrack missing the mark.
During coverage following night, Abdo responded to the comment - and the accompanying online furore - by brutally putting the pundit down in her witty opening monologue.
Now, Scott himself has broken his silence, saying that the Liverpool legend's initial comment had 'really got to him'.
'It's not that she's one of the best sports broadcasters, she's one of the best human beings I've come across in this life,' Scott told Lord Ping.

'I'm very much in love with her and I plan on marrying her, so the thing that happened with Jamie, it's a part of the job, but it's not the first time he's said something out the way like that, but it's the first time he said something in reference to possibly disturbing a household or disturbing a couples chemistry.'
'It was a very minute thing, but her being irritated by it a little bit is what really got to me. Him just saying it and being that guy who always makes those picking at you jokes wasn't really a big deal to me at all. It's only a big deal if Kate is upset.
'If Kate gets upset then it's a really big deal to me and I'll give him a call and if he doesn't pick up my call, then I'll show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men, so that's not something you should continue to do.
'But I think Jamie apologised, not just to Kate but to the team, and one thing you can't do is knock a man who admits he was wrong. In that regard I have high respect for him.'
The moment in question took place after Arsenal's clash with Porto, when the former Liverpool defender donned an Arsenal shirt asked to do so by Bukayo Saka in his post-match interview, after Richards had worn the shirt earlier in the night.
Carragher then suggested Henry and Abdo should be next to wear the Arsenal jersey on air, sparking a bizarre comment from the former Liverpool defender.
'You (Henry) can wear it next and for the last part (of the show) you (Abdo) have got to wear it,' he told his colleagues.
'No, I'm loyal,' Abdo swiftly replied, before adding 'to Manchester United thank you very much', when asked by Carragher whom she was loyal to.
'You're not loyal to Malik,' the former Liverpool defender fired back, referencing Abdo's boyfriend Scott.
The joke appeared to go down like the proverbial lead balloon with the CBS host, who replied: 'What? How can you even say that?,' while Henry and Richards smiled awkwardly.
