Jessica Alba made an appearance at the Knicks game and despite the happiness that filled the stadium and on everyone’s face, Aaron Rodgers’ teammate Sauce Gardner was totally lost as he got no idea who Jessica was. The drama was taken to the socials as Aaron teased Sauce for not knowing Jessica Alba and now the actress has jumped onto the drama via the New York Post;
One thing this week has proven is that Jessica Alba remains a pop culture force.
New Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers teased his new teammate, 22-year-old star defensive back Sauce Gardner, for not knowing who Alba was when she was also seated courtside at the Knicks playoff game on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
On Thursday, the actress herself jumped into the fray.
Alba, 42, responded to a clip from a Jets press conference in which Gardner admitted he did not recognize her.
“Lol,” Alba tweeted. “I totally see how this kid Sauce got his name, he said to my girl [actress Lizzy Mathis] ‘How can I get caught up when I’m the catch.’
“But in all honesty he was actually very polite with his elder @AaronRodgers12 and everyone else in the room. It was nice meeting you @iamSauceGardner.”
She signed the note as “Honey and Storm,” her characters in the movies “Honey” and “The Fantastic Four.”
Gardner, never shy, had a near-immediate response.
“Damnn it’s been 2 days and you still remember what I said word for word.. I just might be HIM,” Gardner tweeted, with a laughing emoji. “Nah, but I had a good time with you, @ElizabethMxo, and my chaperone loll @AaronRodgers12.”
Rodgers chimed in as well, joking about getting called old.
“Chaperone??? Elder???” Rodgers asked, with three laughing emojis. “You are funny @iamSauceGardner, glad to be helping you meet new people.”
Rodgers added a flexing emoji for good measure.
“He’s just a great guy to be around,” Gardner said Wednesday. “It was great vibes, but that whole night he would just keep asking me out of nowhere, like ‘do you know who that person is? I’m like ‘bro, that’s Amar’e Stoudemire, I know who that is. Now you’re just picking on me.’”
