Studying Time: 3 minutes
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 utterly 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 vast receiver type 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?
Properly, you won’t be shocked to study that the solutions to these questions are “AI” and “yeah, most likely not.”
The unique supply of the drama appears to be the tweet under:
Now, the picture on the proper purports to point out Taylor and Stefon hanging out in Provo, Utah.
And it appears fairly genuine! However after all, it’s not.
Gone are the times when AI images have been loaded with telltale indicators like fingers with a dozen fingers.
As of late, we have to search for extra delicate cues — like the truth that the submit is from Hater Report and never Bleacher Report (as one may 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 severely and providing up their hottest takes.
“She beats youngsters. He beats ladies. Match made in heaven,” wrote one person.
“Two abusers courting 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 ft,” 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 definitely not defending Taylor’s actions, it’s price noting that the scenario is perhaps extra sophisticated than it seems.
Earlier this week, Paul was granted a restraining order in opposition to 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 mild finally.
Within the meantime, Taylor doesn’t want any new scandals. So it’s most likely an excellent factor that she’s not courting Stefon Diggs (so far as we all know).
