  • Zach Wilson's mom Lisa responds to some rumors being linked to her name
  • Lisa says no one is paying her and she's not from a rich family
  • She admits that Zach offered her money to delete her social media accounts

Zach Wilson’s mom is becoming the center of attraction on social media once again.

Lisa Wilson came to prominence during draft day and has been one of the most followed stories in the NFL since then.

On one of her latest IG Live posts, Lisa boldly addressed rumors swirling around claiming she is from a rich family and that her brother--who owns JetBlue--is paying her way.

According to Lisa, her parents still live in a house they bought for “$15,000 ” and her brother has no reason to do such a thing for her.

“Some people got this crazy idea that I came from a lot of money and it’s so false,” Lisa exclaimed. I can’t even stand it.”

“First off all, why would my brother pay my way?” she continued. “Cause that’s a brother’s responsibility? NO! and he has nine children of his own that he needs to take care of. I’m very capable of working hard and making my own money. Mike and I do just fine, we do not need my brother’s money.”

In another post, the 42-year-old also revealed the shocking truth about her son Zach, offering her money to delete her social media accounts to stop the terrible treatment she has been getting from people.

To everybody’s surprise, Lisa admitted that the Jets quarterback indeed offered her money, but she rejected it because of the “women” whose lives have changed for the better because of her.

"People out there that think I embarrass my son [Zach] -- has he asked me to take down my social media? He has before,” she revealed. “And he says ‘Mom, if it’s about money, I’ll give you money.’ I said ‘Zach, I don’t need your money.'"

"He says ‘Momm you don’t embarrass me, but I can’t stand these people treating my mom like crap,’” she added. “And I said ‘Zach, you know what? If you saw the messages that I receive every single day from women that started exercising again, women that are learning to cook for the first time ever, women that are changing their relationships with their husbands, women that tell me that the only reason that they’re getting out of bed is because of my Instagram. The only thing that keeps them from taking a handful of pills is because something I said that day resonated with them’. I refuse to abandon those people.”

“I can take the heat. Bring it on."
