Gia Duddy isn’t wasting any time knocking online trolls down a peg.

The longtime girlfriend of Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis savagely hit back at a critic this week on TikTok after they called her a “gold digger.”

“I’m so happy you guys caught onto this, like, I didn’t obviously want to come out and say, ‘Yeah, I’m a gold digger,’ but I’m really happy you guys are intuitive and you can understand that,” Duddy responded sarcastically in a video, where she’s sipping a latte outdoors.

A recent Penn State graduate, the 21-year-old Duddy has continued to gain notoriety following her appearance at the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City last month.

Levis, who was widely projected to be selected on the first night of the draft, endured a brutal first-round slide instead as his quarterback peers — Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson — were all taken in the top five by the Panthers, Texans, and Colts, respectively.

The former Kentucky quarterback’s wait mercifully ended on night two, when he was selected 33rd overall by the Titans.

“I knew I was going to cry,” Levis said of his reaction upon receiving that fateful phone call from the Titans.

“The tears came immediately. I didn’t really know how the conversation was going to go. It’s one of those things where you feel like you are going to handle yourself and be composed, but the waterworks started flowing and emotions got overwhelming.” 

The projected value of Levis’ rookie deal with the Titans is estimated to be $9.54 million, according to Spotrac, with a 2023 cap hit of around $1.73 million.

Levis reported to Titans rookie minicamp last week and left an “intense” impression on his new teammates.

As for Duddy, who has been dating Levis for more than two years, she’s excited about their next chapter in Nashville.

“It’s hard to put in words what it’s like watching your best friend’s dreams come true. Proud would be an understatement— I don’t know anyone more deserving. Time to get back to work @will_levis . TITAN UP,” she gushed on Instagram earlier this month.
