Jalen Hurts blasted for attending Met Gala after snubbing Trump's invite to White House: ‘Anti-American’

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Eagles star Jalen Hurts has been called out online after he attended the Met Gala after snubbing Donald Trump’s White House invitation in April.

The 26-year-old was one among many players who were invited by the president after their Super Bowl victory in February. But Hurts was unable to go because of “scheduling conflicts”, as reported by the Daily Mail.

His wife was seen in an embroidered maroon gown that came with fringe skirt. Both their outfits were from Burberry, as per PEOPLE.

They got compliments like, "This is one of my favorite looks for the evening. So stylish and classy," "Aww beautiful couple love them ❤️😍😍," and "They look absolutely fabulous! Top of the Met. Love, a Niner fan."
