It’s been a tumultuous yr for each Taylor Frankie Paul and Stefon Diggs.
She had her season of The Bachelorette canceled by ABC. His workforce misplaced Tremendous Bowl LX after he put up fully lackluster numbers.
She’s the topic of a number of home violence allegations, and he’s within the midst of a messy breakup with Cardi B.
So within the midst of all this drama did the ex-Mormon actuality star and ex-elite extensive receiver kind an unlikely relationship?
That’s the weird rumor that the web is fixating on this week.
So how did the rumor begin? And is there any reality to it?
Nicely, you may not be stunned to be taught that the solutions to these questions are “AI” and “yeah, most likely not.”
The unique supply of the drama appears to be the tweet beneath:
Now, the picture on the precise purports to indicate Taylor and Stefon hanging out in Provo, Utah.
And it seems fairly genuine! However after all, it’s not.
Gone are the times when AI photographs have been loaded with telltale indicators like fingers with a dozen fingers.
Lately, we have to search for extra delicate cues — like the truth that the submit is from Hater Report and never Bleacher Report (as one would possibly assume from a fast look on the emblem).
However that didn’t cease the great of us on X (previously Twitter) from taking this submit significantly and providing up their hottest takes.
“She beats youngsters. He beats girls. Match made in heaven,” wrote one person.
“Two abusers relationship one another,” one other added.
“I don’t have any thought who the heck he’s however he’s carrying some bizarre crap on his toes,” wrote a 3rd person (who was so near figuring this out!)
Clearly, many commenters referenced Paul’s assault on Dakota Mortensen, and for good purpose.
In spite of everything, that was the scandal that led ABC to take the unprecedented transfer of canceling Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette.
However whereas we’re actually not defending Taylor’s actions, it’s price noting that the scenario is likely to be extra sophisticated than it seems.
Earlier this week, Paul was granted a restraining order towards Mortensen.
For weeks, she’s been insisting that the video doesn’t inform the entire story, and he or she was really a sufferer of abuse.
Hopefully, the reality will come to gentle finally.
Within the meantime, Taylor doesn’t want any new scandals. So it’s most likely a great factor that she’s not relationship Stefon Diggs (so far as we all know).
