Kate Abdo's partner Malik Scott has broken his silence on Jamie Carragher's bizarre on-air comments about the CBS Sports anchor not being 'loyal' two weeks ago.
The pair were involved in an awkward exchange during the broadcaster's Champions League coverage, with Carragher's wisecrack missing the mark.
During coverage the following night, Abdo responded to the comment - and the accompanying online furore - by brutally putting the pundit down in her witty opening monologue.
And now Scott himself has issued his first public response, saying that the Liverpool legend's initial comment had 'really got to him'.
'It's not that she's one of the best sports broadcasters, she's one of the best human beings I've come across in this life,' Scott told Lord Ping.

'I'm very much in love with her and I plan on marrying her, so the thing that happened with Jamie, it's a part of the job, but it's not the first time he's said something out the way like that, but it's the first time he said something in reference to possibly disturbing a household or disturbing a couples chemistry.'
'It was a very minute thing, but her being irritated by it a little bit is what really got to me. Him just saying it and being that guy who always makes those picking at you jokes wasn't really a big deal to me at all. It's only a big deal if Kate is upset.
'If Kate gets upset then it's a really big deal to me and I'll give him a call and if he doesn't pick up my call, then I'll show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men, so that's not something you should continue to do.
'But I think Jamie apologised, not just to Kate but to the team, and one thing you can't do is knock a man who admits he was wrong. In that regard I have high respect for him.'
The moment in question took place after Arsenal's clash with Porto, when the former Liverpool defender donned an Arsenal shirt after being asked to do so by Bukayo Saka in his post-match interview, after Micah Richards had worn the shirt earlier in the night.
Carragher then suggested Thierry Henry and Abdo should be next to wear the Arsenal jersey on-air, sparking a bizarre comment from the former Liverpool defender.
'You (Henry) can wear it next and for the last part (of the show) you (Abdo) have got to wear it,' he told his colleagues.

Kate Abdo delivered a brutal monologue on Wednesday, putting Jamie Carragher in his place
The former Liverpool defender suggested Abdo was 'not loyal' to her partner 24 hours earlier
She replied by calling Carragher 'that one annoying family member we still love and accept'
'No, I'm loyal,' Abdo swiftly replied, before adding 'to Manchester United, thank you very much', when asked by Carragher whom she was loyal to.
'You're not loyal to Malik,' the former Liverpool defender fired back, referencing Abdo's boyfriend Scott.
The joke appeared to go down like the proverbial lead balloon with the CBS host, who replied: 'What? How can you even say that?,' while Henry and Richards smiled awkwardly.
Carragher then attempted to explain the comment, noting that Scott 'hasn't had a mention on the show tonight.'
Abdo confronted the incident less than 24 hours later in a monologue introducing each of the pundits ahead of a second night of European football coverage, and poked fun at Carragher's mistep, calling him 'the middle child' in the CBS Sports family.
After explaining that Henry was the 'golden child' who can 'do no wrong' - and before calling Richards 'little bro' - she said: 'Then there is the middle child. Jamie Carragher. A chip on his shoulder, capable of saying anything for attention.
'Does he go too far sometimes? Absolutely. Does he apologise? Yes, he does. But all of us have that one annoying family member that we still love and accept.'
Hinting that she was keen to move on from the controversy, Abdo added: 'You know what? Like a good family we stick together. So here we are, another day and another show. Good to be with you all.'
The 43-year-old had high praise for his girlfriend's professionalism, calling her the 'Michael Jordan' of broadcasting
Scott serves as 'Bronze Bomber' Deontay Wilder's trainer after previously competing as a heavyweight fighter
Scott paid tribute to the presenter's grace under pressure in his remarks, adding that his priority was ensuring she felt comfortable with her co-workers.
'The only problem I have with things like that is if Kate feels some kind of way about it, she handled it very well,' he added.
'I thought Jamie was just being himself, https://cannabisherbsnewzealand.com/ (related website) sometimes he can have a runny mouth, sometimes he's not that good at reading the room, sometimes he's someone that can make beyond sarcastic jokes and it comes across as digging a little bit, especially if you're dealing with a woman.
'But I don't take it personal, it did not enter our home, it really was nothing, but in those types of situations my concern is more about Kate and her feelings, she is someone I'm very much in love with, so once I saw how she handled it, me and her discussed it, and that was that.
'It was not something I lost any sleep over because I noticed the way Kate handled it was very, very well, and Jamie was just being Jamie and I have no problem with him. As long as Kate is happy, I have no problem. Now if he makes Kate upset, then I have a serious problem and he'll get a call from me, and if he doesn't pick up my call I'll show up in a physical manner for him.'
Scott also suggested that the pundit was at times unable to read the room - but reserved praise for his co-host Richards, and the 'legend' Henry.
'Jamie Carragher's - what's the word - obnoxiousness and his lack of knowing how to read the room works sometimes, that time it just didn't work,' Deotany Wilder's trainer added.
Scott said that he had stronger relationships with Abdo's other co-hosts Richards and Henry
'But sometimes it works and it plays off into a good joke, then someone else on the panel will play off that and it rolls off good on camera. But that wasn't a good one Jamie, so you have to watch it really from now on because once Kate gets irritated, I get irritated and it makes me want to show up.'
'Kate is surrounded by good men in her job, when it comes to banter they go back and forth a lot and the show does incredible numbers, not just because they're covering an incredible sport but because of the chemistry those guys share on the panel together.
'But when that chemistry is disturbed by someone taking a shot at a woman and her relationship in a joking manner, it can come across as a bit rude, it can come across as a bit obnoxious, it can definitely come across as a bit disrespectful to that lady and her partner.
'Jamie's joke wasn't taken lightly, Kate was irritated, so obviously that makes me irritated, but any man that apologises to whoever he crossed - you can't go too hard on him. If he didn't apologise and just said "I said what I said so what" then that's a huge problem, I would have caught a flight because Kate is my lady and would not allow her to be disrespected.'
Abdo made her relationship with Scott public on social media at the start of March after months of speculation
'Me and Micah (Richards) we have spoken on FaceTime, on the phone, on Instagram, he's probably my favourite on the show actually. What energy that guy has. Jamie is not bad to me at all, besides the incident that happened, and Thierry (Henry) is a legend. I'm always learning and what I admire about Thierry is his ability to break down plays and it reminds me of the film study I do in boxing.
'Kate is as gifted in broadcasting as Michael Jordan is in basketball, she's worked extremely hard to get into this position, she takes nothing for granted.'
Scott and Abdo took their relationship public at the start of March with a series of co-ordinated pictures on Instagram.
The boxing trainer and the presenter otherwise have a mostly private relationship, with Abdo previously only alluding to the fact that she did have a partner during her on-air exchanges with Richards, Henry, and Carragher.
