New England Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski apologizes for snaps with adult star – NFL News
New England Patriots player Rob Gronkowski issued an apology to his club owner after his pictures with an adult entertainment star were found on a social networking site.
The club’s tight end player had snaps with adult star Bibi Jones. In the pictures, she is wearing Gronkowski jersey with him standing shirtless besides her.
Jones said that she went into the change room and requested the player for the snaps and posed in his sportswear. She later posted those pictures on her twitter account, which she said she had requested him if she could do so.
"I went into the room to take a picture with him and he said, 'Put on my jersey,'" Jones said to the radio station. "I asked him, 'Can I put these on my Twitter?' He was cool with it because I have more Twitter followers than him
and he wanted me to get him more Twitter followers."
She however played down the suggestions if anything had happened between them.
"I wish something happened, but nothing happened," she said.
The incident occurred in Arizona last week when the New England Patriots (5-1) had a bye week.
Later on, the issue generated media hype and controversy and the Patriots’ football star had to issue an apology to the club owner. Although, he claimed that no one had ask him to apologies for the snaps.
Observers believe that Gronkowski was a victim of unnecessary debate generated by the media, as it was common for the players to take snaps in the public or with the public figures, and that the pictures with Jones were in the
same spirit.
"I did not intend anything to hurt the reputation of anyone on the New England Patriots or on behalf of Robert Kraft," Gronkowski said. "That's all, just a simple picture, that's all. From here on out, I'm just here to talk about
the Pittsburgh Steelers and the big game this weekend."
During his appearance on the Sports Hub last week, Gronkowski said that he was not asked by anyone to apologise. He said that he only had seen Mr. Kraft – the owner of the Club and had some discussion with him. He had offered him
a piece of advice. He was asked to be careful, he said.
He declined further comments when inquired about any regrets over the snaps. He also added that he did not mean to hurt anyone and apologised for the incidence. He also tried to play down the hype and said he was more focused on
the next weekend’s game.
After being drafted last year; Gronkowski’s plays as tight end for the New England Patriots. He had earlier played in his senior year of high school in Pittsburgh.
