After Deleting Social Media, Ex-MLB Star Aubrey Huff Rants on Divorce

Aubrey Huff, a former MLB player, has returned to X after deleting his account earlier this week due to criticism from 23-year-old political activist and influencer Isabella Maria DeLuca, who called him out for taking shots in her direct messages before demeaning her in a different post.

In a series of responses to X users who asserted that Huff went into hiding after being “exposed” by DeLuca, Huff provided an explanation for his temporary departure from the platform.

Huff responded to an X user who said he “f–ked up” by deleting his account, saying, “I was on vacation with my kids.” “Knew it would distract me that kind of heat. So I waited till I got home and the boys went to their moms.

“So here I am. Imagine a guy more concerned about his kids than his social media credibility. The horror!!!”

Huff and his former spouse, Barbara Heaton, have two kids together: Jayce, who is fifteen, and Jagger, who is thirteen.

Following his return to X, Huff delivered a message to people who were “passing judgment” on the circumstances.

“It’s called Google,” he wrote. “Famous people like myself aren’t hard to find. If you figure out how to use the internet you’ll find I’ve been divorced for 6 years. Last I checked, there’s no crime for a single dude DM’ing a broad.”

Huff added a joke about how you “miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take” in life.

“Was it even bad!?” In an earlier piece, he asked. “So what, I struck out publicly. Something I did 907 times on a national stage during my 13 year @MLB career.

“If anything @IsabellaMDeLuca struck out with the bases loaded to end game 7 of her World Series! Not to many get a shot at the title.”

A separate screenshot they uploaded shows that Huff banned DeLuca on X after that, and she followed suit.

“My how the tables have turned,” he wrote. “This was truly all in good fun for me. Too bad she didn’t see it that way.

“Some people just take things way too seriously. It’s really a shame people can’t have more fun on this platform.”

Huff stated that his only sense of embarrassment stemmed from his lack of knowledge before to reaching out to DeLuca.

“Only thing I’m embarrassed for is the lack of homework,” he wrote in another post. “But hey, we strike out sometime. All we can do is step back in the box. Trust me, it’s really hard to embarrass me.”

He objected when someone else on X suggested that Huff wasn’t DeLuca’s kind of person.

“Oh I’m her type…I’m every woman’s type,” he replied.

When Huff sent her a direct message on X that said, “Hey beautiful let’s Colab [collaborate] over cocktails and bad decisions,” along with an emoji of a winking face, DeLuca claimed that Huff was a married man.

On December 25, DeLuca shared a screenshot of a message that Huff’s verified account had sent on X.

Ten years after getting married on January 27, 2007, the 47-year-old Huff and Heaton divorced in 2017.

DeLuca stated that Huff messaged her following his tagging of her in a post disparaging her.

“[It’s] proof that most today’s women even know… their sexuality is all they bring to the table,” Huff wrote, based on X screenshots.

“Complete with a desperate need for attention, crippling debt, drama, delusional self worth, & a complete lack of accountability.”

“I’ve been down the slide into some DM’s for sure. Who hasn’t?” he said when someone asked if he ever “made those bad decisions” with DeLuca.

“I say I’m batting .500 in my lifetime. I struck out on that one. But by the looks of it, it’s a strike out I’ll take all day.”

Huff is a two-time World Series champion with the San Francisco Giants and participated in 13 MLB seasons.

2014 saw him retire, and since then, he has started talking politics on social media.

For disseminating false information on COVID-19 and for his remarks regarding the Capitol building storming on January 6, 2021, Huff was suspended from X (formerly Twitter) twice.
