“Also for those of us who know Aaron beyond the world of obsessed sports [stories] … It is no secret that he has the most hairy hands on the f — king planet, ”the Errors in our stars commented the actress. “This ignorant homie clearly does not.”

After focusing on a close-up of the alleged athlete running in California, Woodley again remarked that it was not her husband. “Also cute car guy, but Aaron would never drive this one,” she wrote.

Rodgers spoke about his rumored LA outing Tuesday during a performance on Pat McAfee Show. “I am in Green Bay, not in LA as reported. I have been at my home under quarantine,” he confirmed.

Woodley’s support for Rodgers came days after the news that the Green Bay Packers star had tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, November 3rd.

Rodgers’ diagnosis raised eyebrows when he previously said he was “immunized” against the virus. The NFL initiated an investigation into the former Danger! guest host and the Packers in the middle of questions about whether they broke the COVID-19 protocols.

The California native addressed the controversy two days later, claiming he “did not lie” about his original vaccination status and insisted he was not anti-vaccine.

“Had there been a follow-up to my statement that I had been immunized, I would have responded with this: I would have said, ‘look, I’m not some kind of anti-wax-flat-Earth. I’m someone who’s a critical thinker, “Rodgers said during a performance on Pat McAfee Show Friday 5 November “I march to the beat of my own drum. I strongly believe in bodily autonomy, [in the] the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to agree to a waking culture or a crazy group of individuals who say you have to do something. “

He explained that he has an allergy to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccines, which is why both the Pfizer and Moderna options were off the table. Rodgers said he chose not to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine because he heard at the time that people were having an “adverse event” after getting that shot.

The former California University Berkley quarterback noted that he was exploring other ways to “protect” himself and his teammates, which was when he found an “immunization protocol” that he believes served as a long-term solution. However, the NFL did not approve the alternative immunization and told Rodgers he would be considered unvaccinated for the 2021 season.

Since then, Rodgers claimed he has “felt every protocol” drawn up by the league, including traveling solo to matches and being tested daily. He is currently undergoing a 10-day quarantine and must have two negative COVID-19 tests before he is OK to play after a missed match on Sunday, November 7th.

“My desire to immunize myself was what was best for my body, and that’s why it’s so important to me,” the NFL MVP concluded. “My medical team told me the danger of having an unwanted incident [to the vaccination] was greater than getting COVID and recovering. I’m not telling anyone about getting vaccinated or not getting vaccinated. “

Woodley, who confirmed his engagement to Rodgers in February, hinted at previous support for Rodgers via a cryptic Instagram message.

“Calm seas can give you peace, but storms are where you find your power,” she shared via her Instagram story Friday.
