Jen Bielema Lashes Out At Wisconsin Fans After Bizarre Loss

Jen Bielema is apparently still hurt from her husband’s departure from the University of Wisconsin, and took to Twitter to voice her displeasure.

The wife of former Badgers head coach Bret Bielema took to Twitter on Saturday night after Wisconsin suffered a bizarre loss at the hands of Arizona State.

Her post was short and simple, and to Wisconsin fans added some salt to the wounds suffered during the hearbreaking loss.

“#karma” she wrote.

The official story on Bret Bielema’s departure from Wisconsin was that it was a mutual, amicable decision. But Jen Bielema has made it seem otherwise, getting into spats with Badgers fans on Twitter since Bret’s departure.

She apparently thought that Saturday’s loss was retribution for her husband’s treatment by the university. In the game, Wisconsin trailed by 2 with only 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter but was in position to kick the game-winning field goal. Quarterback Joel Stave took a snap at the 13-yard-line and knelt down to give his kicker a better angle, but his kneel-down was so hard to see that Arizona players jumped on the loose ball.

The referees took so long to pry the defensive players off the ball that by the time everything was cleared, the clock struck zeroes and Wisconsin had lost.

Bret Bielema, who led the Badgers on a six-year run of success that included three consecutive Big Ten Conference Titles, defended his wife, saying she was responding to a small group of “sick and ruthless” people who harass and hound her on social media.

“Some of the comments are so sick it’s hard to imagine someone can say it,” he said.

Jen Bielema isn’t all sour grapes when it comes to her husband’s coaching career. She’s been one of the biggest cheerleaders of the Arkansas Razorbacks, his new team, and even wore a pig snout earlier this year to support the team.
