Kelly Stafford’s COVID-19 rant continued in November 2020 when she slammed the living conditions in Michigan. At the time, the family of six was living in the state as Matthew played quarterback for the Lions. At the time, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had paused all in-person school activities, indoor dining services, and bar operations, as well as put a temporary closure on several local businesses.
The mother of four took to Instagram (per The Detroit News) to blast the restrictive measures. “I’m so over it,” Kelly started in a string of videos she posted at the time. “I’m so over living in a dictatorship that we call Michigan. I understand there’s a pandemic, and I understand it’s very scary. I’m scared of it, too. If you are at risk, do not leave your house until there’s a vaccine.”
Stafford then defended the number of small businesses in the area, likening the state of Michigan to a totalitarian rule. “Shutting down all these small businesses, things that people have worked their life for, shutting them down again is not the answer, because they will not make it […] once this dictatorship decides to let us have some freedom, there will be nothing left.”
After catching flack for her divisive commentary, Kelly posted another video to her Instagram Story to apologize for her choice of words. “I have a friend losing their business, and it’s just getting to me a little bit, so I apologize for calling it a dictatorship,” she explained.
