NFL player JJ Watt called out local news network ABC13 Houston on Tuesday for publishing a “trash” headline about his fiancée Kealia Ohai, which didn’t mention her by name.

The headline, “Houston Dash trade J.J. Watt’s fiancee to Chicago,” prompted Watt to publicly criticize the network in a Twitter post.

“This headline is trash,” he declared. “Kealia Ohai (which is her name by the way, since you didn’t even bother to mention it) is incredible entirely on her own merit and deserves to be treated as such.”

“Be better than this,” he continued.

This headline is trash.
