Randy Moss’ son slams Larry Fitzgerald Sr for claiming NFL legend has liver cancer: ‘This is disgusting’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Larry Fitzgerald Sr was called out online after he publicly claimed that Randy Moss has been struggling with liver cancer.

The former Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots wide receiver had announced last week that he was “battling something internally” but did not reveal anything about his diagnosis.

Now on Tuesday, December 10, Fitzgerald Sr took to X on and tweeted, “66th NFF Hall of Fame Ceremony here in Las Vegas just heard that Vikings HOF Randy Moss has liver cancer. Let’s show the power of prayer and pull Moss through this.🙏🙏🙏.I love you Randy.”

However, Randy Moss’ son Thaddeus Moss did not hold back as he fired, “This is disgusting. You have no right to try to make private matters public for the sake of engagement.”

“I do not believe my father talks to you, so check your f***ing sources,” he added.

Fitzgerald Jr also jumped into the chaos as he posted in a seemingly now-deleted tweet, “Dad, I think it’s best to respect his privacy on this. If he feels ready to share more about his health, he will. In the meantime, let’s focus on sending him positive energy, prayers, and support rather than speculating.”

This came after Moss spoke about his health problem in a social media post.

The Hall of Fame wide receiver shared on December 1, “We were talking about my eyes last week, and I just want to let the viewers know that me and my wife, me and my family, we are battling something internally.”

“I'm battling something, I need prayer warriors. God bless you all, and thanks for the prayers,” he added at the time.

Later, ESPN also issued a statement saying, Moss “will step away from Sunday NFL Countdown for an extended time to focus on a personal health challenge.”

The network also called the 47-year-old “an invaluable member of the team,” before asserting, We look forward to welcoming him back when he is ready.”

Larry Fitzgerald Sr blasted for being an attention seeker

Meanwhile, many people thrashed Fitzgerald Sr on X with one writing, “This wasn’t your story to tell man. Prayers for my goat tho.”

Another user asked, “Your authority to tell the world this comes from where?”

A third one commented, “Fitz I pray for your career that Randy gave you permission to say this or you’ll never be on tv again that’s for sure.”

“Quite shitty of you to not respect his privacy. You smooth brained f***,” a tweet read.

Another tweet stated, “I hope Randy gave you permission to post this, I didn't think he had made the specifics public yet.”

A person shared, “I'm sad that your need for attention - that led you to race to be the first to post online -  was more important to you than his right to privacy when he specifically didn't mention what his condition was. Peak attention whoring. Do better.”
