Shailene Woodley probably didn’t address new photos of Aaron Rodgers in LA because it was actually him in the paparazzi snaps this time.
The Packers quarterback, who’s playing with a fractured pinky toe, was photographed last week visiting an orthopedic doctor’s office in LA.
Last month, the actress angrily defended Rodgers on social media, after the Daily Mail published photos of someone they claimed was the Super Bowl winner grabbing coffee in LA.
At the time, Rodgers was quarantining at his home in Wisconsin after testing positive for COVID-19 — which he announced on “The Pat McAfee Show” days before the photos were published.
Woodley, at the time, accused the outlet of trying to “disparage” Rodgers after backlash about his vaccine comments.
In an attempt to debunk the photos, Woodley wrote, “I know Aaron’s body. VERY well. first off, his feet, ahem and no offense to this rando dude, are a LOT bigger. ;).”
The “Big Little Lies” star said, “also, cute car dude, but Aaron would never drive this,” in response to a photo of the masked man behind the wheel.
On Tuesday, Rodgers appeared to crack a joke about his fiancée’s past comments during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
“I think if you look at the feet and maybe the car you would know that was me,” he said, laughing. Rodgers was pictured walking alongside Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache outside the offices of Kerlan-Jobe orthopedics.
The reigning NFL MVP went on to explain why he made a special visit to an LA doctor during the Packers’ bye week.
“I wanted to get a second opinion on my toe,” he said. “We got an incredible doctor here in Wisconsin … but I think it’s always important regardless of what you’re interested in to get multiple opinions on the subject, especially when it comes to medical things you might not be an expert at.
“[I] had some good conversations and thankful for that opportunity to gather some more information. I did get some good information about my foot. There was nothing revolutionary. There was no mindset change or anything. The biggest key is rest.”
Rodgers said he intends to play the remainder of the season.
“But the toe is improving and we’ll see how it feels later in the week,” he said.
