They didn’t know she had a problem.
Travis Kelsey and Jason Kelsey were blown away by their mother Donna Kelsey’s “amazing” performance on Season 4 of “Traitor.”
Jason, 38, joked to listeners of his New Heights podcast on Wednesday that his mother was “the most deceitful and evil” person he’d ever seen.
Her 36-year-old brother exclaimed, “I’m so proud of her.”
The Kansas City Chiefs player said the 73-year-old “looked like she was having a lot of fun” at the show, which premiered last week.
“(She) showed everyone what she was capable of,” Travis continued. “It was really cool to see her in this moment.
“It was really fun to watch her achieve her dreams and send a beautiful message to the world about being lucky enough to do these things at her age and life situation,” the tight end added, praising his mother for “standing up for her at the roundtable.”
Travis specifically praised fellow contestant Ron Funches for “being there for[Donna]and being kind to her,” but the 42-year-old comedian joked that “maybe he felt a certain way after he found out she was a secret traitor.”
Jason agreed that Donna “did a great job” despite being an “easy target” and said he “loved watching” her fight in the Peacock series.
Donna was the fourth cast member to leave Scotland’s Ardross Castle, alongside Rob Chesternino, Porsha Williams and Ian Terry, when the first batch of episodes dropped on January 8th.
Before entering the castle, Donna lashes out at Travis and Jason’s former partners.
When asked who in the cast she would like to see, Donna replied, “Maybe the Sons’ antagonist.”
She clarified, “It could be about another team, it could be a coach, it could be a past girlfriend.”
Her “Traitor” casting became a hot topic in June 2025.
The following month, Jason claimed on “Entertainment Tonight” that Donna was not as “manipulative and cunning” as a “violent” player should be.
An ESPN analyst described Donna as “too sweet and sweet” to compete. However, he was soon proven wrong.
