Caleb Williams Says He Will Keep Wearing Painted Nails Despite Critics

He casts the manicure as personal expression used to highlight causes from suicide prevention to breast cancer.

Overview

  • On The Rush with Maxx Crosby, Williams said he “couldn’t care less” about objections and that he “knows who” he is.
  • He reiterated, “I’m going to keep doing it,” describing the look as “unique” to him.
  • He traced the habit to a salon visit with a former girlfriend and to watching his mother work as a nail technician.
  • He acknowledged using nail messages to troll opponents—once targeting Texas with an expletive—while saying he now tries to “do it smart.”
  • He said recent designs promote mental health, suicide prevention and breast cancer awareness, and Fox News reports he stays within NFL game-day uniform rules.
