Derek Jeter has always stayed pretty low key with & about his model girlfriend, Hannah Davis — he’s always been that way about his personal life and even with his career coming to an end — he wants it to stay that way.
Wall Street Journal baseball writer Daniel Barbarisi got a rare glimpse into the personal life of Jeter & decided to tweet about it. And guess what happened?! Jeter had something to say!! Check it out….
Via FoxSports:
Ahead of Jeter’s final game at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, Barbarisishared the story of riding in an elevator with the retiring star’s girlfriend, model Hannah Davis, during spring training in 2013. Upon leaving the elevator, Barbarisi did what most of us would do: He tweeted about it.
“Realizing you’re in the elevator w/ one of Jeter’s famous girlfriends is annual spring training ritual. Today, checked Hannah Davis off the list!”
The tweet seemed innocent enough, but it quickly made its way back to Jeter, who was not pleased. Here’s how Barbarisi described their exchange:
“I was just trying to get a laugh, I told him. No harm done? I mean, hey, it’s pretty cool that you bring all these famous, beautiful girlfriends for sportswriters to gawk at in the elevators. It’s a compliment!
“He didn’t see it that way. ‘I didn’t appreciate that,’ he said. ‘I didn’t think it was appropriate.’
Lesson learned. Barbarisi apologized and left the situation with a new perspective on the athletes he covers.
What’s needed is for people to call out these so called journalists. How many would like the treatment they dish out?
