Rob Gronkowski, Bibi Jones Pictures: Patriots Tight End Poses In Photos With Porn Star

Bibi-Gate is in full swing.

Last Friday, adult film star Bibi Jones posted multiple pictures on Twitter posing with New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. The petite blond was sporting Gronkowski's Patriots jersey in the images and the tight end was shirtless in one of them.

The 20-year-old porn star, said that the pictures were taken to get Gronkowski more Twitter followers. During an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston on Monday, she revealed that, to her disappointment, nothing "happened" between the two.

The pictures ultimately made the rounds and became fodder for various sports personalities. On Wednesday, Gronkowksi apologized for the images and any damage they may have caused to the reputation of the Patriots.

"I didn't intend anything to hurt the reputation of anyone on the New England Patriots or on behalf of Robert Kraft," he said. "It was just a simple picture and that's all."

NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin went on Dan Patrick's radio show on Thursday and discussed the incident, "Why do men do things like this? What was the logic in what Rob did?," Irvin asked. "It's the testosterone that runs through our bodies."

Despite the attention that they have draw, the prevailing thought on the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show on WEEI in Boston however seemed to be that the pictures were "harmless."

Gronkowski is not the first professional athlete that Jones has become entangled with. Earlier this week, she told Business Insider that she frequently accompanied a sports agent to bars in the Phoenix area to help recruit Major League ballplayers after Arizona Diamondbacks games in 2010. During her interview with BI, she was asked if she slept with any ballplayers during that period. "Definitely over 10" was her candid response.

New England quarterback Tom Brady seemed entertained when he spoke about the pictures, even voicing relief that for once he wasn't the subject of off-the-field gossip.

"I would have guessed there would be pictures of him somehow with his shirt off, posing or something like that. I’m just glad I’m no longer the one people are making fun of on a daily basis," Brady told WEEI radio in Boston. "Gronk probably already knows (a visit to coach's office is coming)."

So what, they are both consenting adults and that is all that matters. I have to admit she looks good enough to eat.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Gronk brings a breath of fresh air to puritanical Boston and the brilliant, but oppressive, Belichick clubhouse. No less a man than Belichick himself appreciates the life Gronk has brought with him.

Coach Belichek must have been delighted ! He's a Real Big Fan of any Off-Field distractions....especially heading into the 2nd Half of the season & looking forward to the Play-offs...

He should not be apologizing. He did nothing wrong.

Why would anyone EVER feel sorry about having your picture taken with a porn star? Both are consenting adults. What is the big deal?

Who is/has the tight(est) end. Gronk? Porn star? Or the people reporting and questioning this non story?

Wow, Brady sounds funny. Maybe he's actually cool.

I have a feeling his meeting with the coach will be short and consist of something along the lines of... "so did you Gronk that"?

So..I am rather lost here....did he apologize because he had his shirt off...or was it because the other person in the picture happened to be in the adult entertainment industry...getting paid to do something we all are either doing , thinking about doing or wish we were doing.

Good comment. The article fails to mention that in the picture BiBi is wearing a Patriots jersey. His mistake, of course, was dragging the Patriot brand name into the picture.
This is similar to the Dallas cheerleaders posing for Playboy years ago - although that apparently didn't hurt the Cowboy brand name which subsequently became "America's team". All in all, I'd say Gronk breathed a little life into the dour New England franchise.

Well, how come she didn't pose with Vince Wilfork and his jersey!

Next week, Tom Brady and Ines Sainz will do a similar shoot!

There is nothing for which to apologize.
The NFL uses sex to sell their product and all of their sponsers use sex to sell their products.
Who cares.

Good point, but the Patriots are not Gronk's product. Having said all that, I'm sure that after the "heartfelt" apology, the Patriot's brass are probably happy with the publicity. New England is still a puritanical place.

Why did he apologize?

I was hoping someone would explain that to me too.

as the father of a girl, I cringe at a 20 year old "veteran porn star".

20 is middle aged for that industry.
