Eric and Jessie are growing tired of the unfortunate consequences of being a reality TV couple — and that resentment is setting in about a month before their show has even kicked off.The reports are based off of tweets sent out by James, the country-singing wife of Decker, a Denver Broncos wide receiver. She talked about the couple struggling with fans who are trying to get a little too up close and personal.
The tweet has since been deleted but said “Way too many people stopping in front of our home and taking pics. I appreciate the excitement but its also disrespectful. We are moving now.”
Eric Decker did talk to FOX31 Denver Sports Director Nick Griffith Monday nght. He wanted to make sure both his and his wife’s fans knew where they were coming from.
“We love our fan base and are excited about all of the support,” Decker told Griffith. “But we do feel there are some privacy boundaries that need to be respected so that we can feel safe and comfortable in our own home.”
Decker also said that both he and Jessie are excited about the debut of their show on E! called Eric & Jessie: Game on. It begins September 29 at 8:00 PM.
A year ago, Decker was key in the Broncos attempt to win a Super Bowl — one that ultimately fell short. Over 50% of voters in an online poll said they believed the show would rob Decker’s focus from football. The poll didn’t bother John Elway, who gave Decker permission to do the show.
“I don’t think that’s going to affect him,” Elway said. “I know Eric Decker and how hard he works and what football means to him.”
Decker also responded to concerned Bronco fans on Twitter, saying “Nothing will deter me from my football career,” Decker wrote. “I have priorities & I have the same common goal as my teammates to win championships.”
