Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, couldn't have been more apologetic as she opened up about her "rude" behavior on a flight.
The podcast host took to Instagram where she let fans know about the incident on the Delta airlines flight, explaining her behavior which she felt may not have painted her in the best light.
"Anyone on my delta flight that just landed…" she wrote to introduce the message on her story.

With husband Matthew, she shares four daughters who it seems had also been on the flight. Their daughters are: identical twins Sawyer and Chandler, six, Hunter, five, and Tyler, four.
Any parent would know that it can be tricky enough on a flight with multiple young children, but the reason why she had struggled with the situation, it turned out, was because she had been ill.

She then reassured people that her "infection" was "not contagious" but had taken a "serious toll" on her.

She wrote: "Within the last year, I began to notice things that I thought was just me getting older … Things that I had been doing my entire life were now, all of a sudden, difficult," she explained, such as vertigo.
"We found the best doctor to do it", she carried on, confessing: "I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t completely terrified of brain surgery. I am. I am terrified of them opening my head, I’m terrified of losing my hearing, I’m terrified of losing facial function, I’m terrified of far worse things that could happen and I’m terrified that I won’t take the time I need to recover because the guilt I might feel of being absent from my kids for too long."
