fiancee has come under fire after alleged racist tweets posted from her social media account resurfaced before .
Barkley may be hogging the back pages after reaching the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, but his long-time partner, Anna Congdon, is making headlines for the wrong reasons.
Congdon has been accused of posting a series of racist tweets from her adolescence, which have returned to the agenda ahead of the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
The Neighborhood Talk, a popular celebrity gossip page, shared screenshots on its account of alleged tweets dating back to December 2012, which would have made Congdon 14 years old at the time.
The post allegedly shows Congdon joining in with an offensive hashtag game called ‘#ReplaceADisneyMovieWithN****.’ In her alleged response, she makes reference to ‘The Cheetah Girls’ – a Disney film about a girl group – in a derogatory manner.
Another tweet appeared to show Congdon quoting a Kanye West song titled ‘Gold Digger,’ which mentions the offensive term in the hook, in a reply to a friend.
While several X (formerly Twitter) users pointed out her youthful age, some fans tagged her handle ‘@anacongda’ with furious tweets about her alleged tweet and its offensive connotations.
The alleged tweets do not appear on her X profile, which has been active this month, and Congdon is yet to publicly respond to confirm or deny the claims made about her.

Barkley and Congdon have been inseparable ever since meeting as college sweethearts after meeting at Penn State college in 2017.
The model and influencer, 26, has welcomed two children with Barkley during their seven-year relationship.
Their daughter Jada, six, was born just a year after a whirlwind romance became official in April 2018. Congdon then gave birth to their son, Saquon Jr, in September 2022.
On the back of his breakthrough season, Barkley announced that the couple had got engaged a week before the Super Bowl – despite getting down on one knee over six months ago.
“I have an amazing fiancee. I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have without the help of her,” Barkley told People Magazine.
“She always has my back, not only in football but throughout life… as we continue to grow and mature and go through life together, we continue getting closer and continue to get even better.
“It’s a beautiful thing because we have two amazing children… and we just sit back and laugh sometimes when they’re over there playing and just smile and think about where everything started.”
Congdon has not shied away from the limelight and was seen grinning from ear to ear as she celebrated with her husband-to-be following the Eagles’ NFC Championship success in January.
