Cincinnati Bengals, Andrei Iosivas
Injured Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas gets into heated Instagram exchange with fan 1
Gia Duddy posted photos from Paycor Stadium after watching the Bengals lose 22-17 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. By Tuesday, the comment section under the post had pulled her boyfriend, Cincinnati wide receiver Andrei Iosivas, into an argument with a fan.

The thread, trending on X on, started with a joke about a name visible on a bag in the photos. “Not blurring out his name on the bag. We’ve already seen it 😩,” one commenter wrote. Another user asked who it was, and a third answered with a dig at the receiver’s place on the roster.
“WR45 on the depth chart Andrei Iosivas,” the commenter wrote.
Iosivas replied by tagging the man’s wife. “plz get ur husband off my girls page,” he wrote.
Duddy joined in, also tagging the wife.
“you’re probably a great role model for your daughters… Commenting hate on a woman you don’t knows account and following entirely attractive women who don’t know you exist!” she wrote.
Both replies routed the argument through the man’s household. Duddy’s account has more than 300,000 followers, so the back-and-forth had a large audience before it reached X. Other commenters sided with the couple, one writing, “Good for you, Gia. Shut these trolls down.”
In later replies captured in screenshots shared on X by the NFL Memes account, the commenter told Iosivas that Duddy had been “passed around half the league,” a shot at her dating history. Duddy first became widely known during the 2023 NFL Draft, when broadcast cameras followed her reactions as then-boyfriend Will Levis waited through the first round.
She shared photo booth pictures of herself with Iosivas in early September, weeks after visiting Bengals training camp and posting clips of him from practice in a vlog.

Where Andrei Iosivas actually stands on the Bengals’ roster
The depth chart jab landed on a receiver who has not played since Week 2. Cincinnati placed Iosivas on injured reserve on Sept. 26 with a thumb injury he suffered in the Week 2 game at Houston.

Players on injured reserve do not count against the 53-man roster and must sit out at least four games. The “WR45” label mocked the fourth-year receiver’s spot on a depth chart he can only rejoin once the Bengals activate him.
He has already missed the Week 3 trip to Pittsburgh and Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville. The Bengals, now 2-2, visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, and that game will be the third Iosivas has missed on the list.
