The ongoing standoff between the Washington Huskies and Demond Williams Jr. took another dramatic, and perhaps unavoidable, turn. This time, the spotlight shifted beyond the football program when Amber Fisch, wife of head coach Jedd Fisch, publicly weighed in on the situation. Amber Fisch responded directly to a Barstool Sports post discussing Williams’ decision to enter the transfer portal, delivering a sharp rebuke of the quarterback’s actions and timing.
Her comments criticized how Williams handled his announcement and why it struck such a nerve within the Washington community. Fisch did not hold back in expressing her frustration with the circumstances surrounding the move, particularly given what was happening on campus at the time.
She wrote, “Announces during a funeral of an athlete at [the] University of Washington, how disgusting! While all of his other teammates were at the funeral!”
Amber Fisch calls Demond Williams Jr.’s actions “disgusting” on social media
If there was any doubt about whether Amber Fisch truly cares about Jedd Fisch’s career or the Washington Huskies, that question has been answered. Her reaction makes it clear she is deeply invested, to the point of publicly condemning Demond Williams Jr. and labeling his actions as “disgusting.” In many ways, she voiced exactly what a large portion of the Husky fan base is feeling right now, turning private frustration into a very public statement.
Williams’ decision struck many as a betrayal. He backed away from Washington just four days after signing a binding agreement, leaving Fisch and the program blindsided. What made the situation even harder to stomach was the timing. The announcement reportedly came during a memorial service honoring a Washington athlete who passed away from kidney cancer. For many, that detail crossed a line. The move felt unnecessary in that moment, raising the question of why it couldn’t have been delayed even briefly. Instead, it came across as a deliberate and provocative act, one that painted Williams as the clear villain in the situation.
Jedd Fisch’s frustration appears to be reaching a boiling point, with the possibility of legal action looming against Williams and potentially LSU, should tampering be confirmed. Amber Fisch’s comments show she stands firmly beside her husband, sharing both his anger and his sense of injustice.
The entire episode has quickly devolved into a chaotic and uncomfortable saga. It is messy, it is contentious, and as Amber put it, it is “disgusting.” And by all indications, this controversy is only beginning, with more fallout likely in the days ahead.
