Jennifer Slay is “sick” of online slander.

The wife of Eagles cornerback Darius Slay called out the hostility she’s experienced on social media in a post shared on X, as the club attempts to rebound from straight losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.

“Real sh**… the amount of negativity [sic] I receive is truly sickening.” I’m trying to be so positive on this app and spread so much love that I’m getting so much hate. S-t is illogical! It’s so heartbreaking!!! Smh,” Jennifer commented on the same day that the Eagles were defeated by the Cowboys, 33-13.

Jennifer’s message comes at a difficult moment for the Birds, who have struggled after a 10-1 start.

Philadelphia was trounced 42-19 at home by the 49ers on December 3, before being severely defeated in primetime by the Cowboys the following weekend.

Slay, who is in his fourth season with the Eagles after re-signing in the offseason, addressed detractors on X Monday after a fan placed placards on trash cans that read, “No play Slay,” and “Bradberry,” referring to his teammate, cornerback James Bradberry.

“Yall tough for this one,” Slay, 32, wrote on Instagram.

Since then, the five-time Pro Bowler has changed his X avatar to a shot of trash cans.

Despite apparent hostility from some fans, others have made it obvious that they support the Slays.

“Simply block them. They aren’t worth your time or effort. On Sunday, one X user replied to Jennifer, “Go Birds!”

“Stay strong and keep spreading the love!!!” said another fan. More positive people like you are needed on our team, in our city, and on our platform!!!

With four games remaining in the regular season, the Eagles are tied for first place in the NFC East with the Cowboys and are vying for a second straight division title.

The 49ers currently possess the No. 1 seed in the NFC after defeating the Eagles, but the two teams have identical records.
