  • Shailene Woodley shared a cryptic quote about finding power in "storms" on her Instagram Story Friday
  • Woodley posted the message amid her fiancé Aaron Rodgers' COVID-19 diagnosis and drama
  • She was blamed by some fans for Rodgers' decision not to get the vaccine

Shailene Woodley seemingly showed her support to her fiancé, Aaron Rodgers, on social media amid his COVID-19 drama.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback is facing backlash after revealing that he is not vaccinated and has tested positive for COVID-19. On Friday, the "Fault in Our Stars" actress seemingly shared her own thoughts on the matter, taking to her Instagram Story to post a since-deleted quote.

"Calm seas may bring you peace, but storms are where you’ll find your power," read the message in the screenshot obtained by Page Six.

Woodley has been taking the brunt of the blame online for Rodgers' decision not to get the vaccine from some social media users suggesting that she played a part in his anti-vaccine stance.

"Aaron Rodgers got engaged to Shailene Woodley and lost his whole mind and his deodorant," one person tweeted.

"Something doesn’t sit right with me over the fact that Shailene Woodley 1. decides to vacation in Hawaii during the peak [of the COVID-19 pandemic] (probably unvaxxed too) and 2. she shares imagery of a brown woman and some bs thing about finding your power in a storm," another wrote.

Some came to Woodley's defense, including sports podcaster Ti Windisch, who wrote on Twitter, "Blaming Shailene Woodley for Aaron Rodgers’ choices is a weirdo misogynistic move. Don’t do that. I know GB fans have been trying to pin Packer problems on his significant others for years now, but Rodgers is a big boy who makes his own decisions."

Other fans also urged Woodley to split from Rodgers, claiming he was not a good influence on her.

"[Shailene], get out while you can. He'll sweep you under the rug. Trash you like he did his parents and family. Don't you see the signs?" one wrote.

"[Shailene], I truly hope you rethink marrying this narcissistic, lying idiot. Trust me, it does not end well, get out when you can," a second user added.

Woodley's alleged social media post comes after Rodgers claimed that he "didn't lie" about his vaccination status when he initially told reporters in August that he had been "immunized."

"The league was fully aware of it upon my return to the Packers," he explained during an episode of "The Pat McAfee Show" Friday while addressing his one-game suspension.

Rodgers, who clarified that he is not "some sort of anti-vax, flat-Earther," also claimed that he was allergic to an ingredient in the shot.

Dr. Niraj Patel of Atlanta told NBC News that the number of people who have had anaphylactic reactions to COVID-19 vaccines is only around 2 to 5 cases per million doses. "Putting this into perspective, you're as likely to get struck by lightning as you are to have an allergic reaction to a COVID-19 vaccine," said the chair of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology’s COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force.

Woodley and Rodgers, who confirmed they were engaged in February, have been spending the past months away from each other due to their respective careers.

The athlete took their distance positively. Rodgers said it would be "a good thing" because Woodley's work was shut down for an entire year, and she had been booked for several projects. Also, he acknowledged that they both enjoy working.

Rodgers will miss the Packers' game against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday after he tested positive for COVID-19.
