Kate Abdo has admitted she was hurt by Jamie Carragher ’s loyalty jibe but has calmed fears of a fight between him and boyfriend Malik Scott..
The former Liverpool star made a somewhat misguided comment about Abdo’s loyalty during Arsenal ’s Champions League clash with Porto. The joke did not go down too well on air, while commentary colleagues Thierry Henry and Micah Richards struggled to hide their shock.
Speaking after the incident Abdo’s ex-boxer boyfriend Scott suggested that he would fight Carragher should any similar comments be made in the future. Speaking to iFLTV, Abdo has since admitted that she did not take too kindly to Carragher’s joke but has confirmed that there will be no confrontation between the pair.
“What Jamie said came from nowhere,” she said. “It was just a quick line, it was meant to be funny, sometimes they hit, sometimes they don't. That one went a little bit sideways. I felt a little bit hurt but it is what it is. You move on. We talked about it, we're all good, nothing really to talk about."
Abdo added: “Malik does not want to fight Jamie. Malik and Jamie are cool. I understand why Malik said what he said but I think also if you read the full extent of what he said he was super respectful.

“He just said, you know, like anybody would say, if anything was said in the future that crossed the line, I'd want to have a conversation man to man. I think that's a normal thing.
“I think the headlines that [said] ‘I'll turn up in physical fashion’ - that was a little overstated. But Malik is so secure as a person. Nothing rattles him.”

Abdo’s latest attempts to smooth things over come weeks after the initial exchange. Carragher was on air at the time wearing an Arsenal shirt, and he said: "You are wearing (an Arsenal shirt) next (pointing at Abdo), for the last part you are going to wear it."
Abdo replied to that: "I am not. I am loyal,” to which Carragher then asked "To whom?". Abdo’s retort was: " Manchester United, thank you very much."
Carragher then made his joke: “Not to Malik.” before Abdo asked: "Why would you even say that?" She then had an amusing reply on CBS during their following broadcast.
She said: "Does he [Carragher] 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.”
