He’s busy at work as he’s said he doesn’t have social media and I post on his behalf! Annah Tagovailoa manages her husband Tua Tagovailoa’s Instagram account and was behind the encouraging message, according to reports surrounding the buzzworthy moment. The drama began when Tagovailoa shared a post celebrating his new chapter with the Falcons. However, eagle-eyed NFL fans noticed that his own account appeared to leave a supportive message telling himself, “We’re so proud of you!! You got this. The timing and wording of the encouraging comment made the situation specifically awkward, and NFL fans swiftly turned the Falcons quarterback into cyberspace’s latest punchline. But before cyberspace could completely crown him the NFL’s newest alleged burner-account culprit, his wife, Annah Tagovailoa, stepped in to defend him with an explanation. “No burner account! I was busy with the kids this morning and forgot to switch back to my account.. Will pay more attention next time 🤦🏽♀️,” she wrote. Whether it was a burner-account blunder or a social media glitch, the episode gave cyberspace ample to talk about. Annah Tagovailoa’s explanation may have cleared up the cyberspace confusion, but Barstool Sports and countless NFL fans had already turned the incident into the biggest comedy or invite for a roast.
