Overview

  • Rutledge said she created the account when her husband was with the Angels to reply to negative comments from fans.
  • She described posting only supportive messages under a name like BillyHalo76 with occasional Mike Trout mentions to avoid detection.
  • Rutledge said she stopped after the one-time effort and joked that Josh Rutledge likely does not know about it.
  • A search of X surfaced a dormant handle, @BillyHalo664, while the exact name she cited did not appear, providing no conclusive link to her.
  • Her disclosure arrives as she takes on prominent ESPN duties with NFL Live, SEC Nation and Monday Night Football, with no professional repercussions reported.
