"How the f**k did people come up with this?" - Derek Jeter finally speaks up and refutes the old rumor of sending autographed items to one-night stands

Derek Jeter, a former New York Yankees legend, has finally denied the long-running rumor that he sent autographed items to one-night stands. According to a 2011 New York Post article, Derek allegedly sent his one-night stands gift baskets filled with merchandise that had been personally signed by him. However, representatives for Jeter couldn't corroborate the rumor at that time.

Rumor also has it that Jeter allegedly had an affair with the same lady twice. He didn't, however, recall the initial meeting. Eventually, the woman ended up receiving the Jeter-signed items twice as a result.

Despite being aware of the absurd accusations, the man himself decided to confront them 22 years after they first surfaced.

In his multi-part documentary "The Captain," Jeter said:

“Yeah, I read the article. Yeah, of course. You know, you see it, and then it’s like, how the f**k did people come up with this? You know, basically, that’s it. And who would believe this shit?”

Jeter added, "It’s a story that became larger than life. People keep regurgitating this story that never happened. Never happened."
