It’s been a tumultuous 12 months 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 huge 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 fact to it?
Properly, you won’t be stunned to be taught that the solutions to these questions are “AI” and “yeah, in all probability not.”
The unique supply of the drama appears to be the tweet beneath:
Now, the photograph on the best purports to point out Taylor and Stefon hanging out in Provo, Utah.
And it appears fairly genuine! However in fact, it’s not.
Gone are the times when AI photographs had been loaded with telltale indicators like palms with a dozen fingers.
Nowadays, we have to search for extra delicate cues — like the truth that the put up is from Hater Report and never Bleacher Report (as one would possibly suppose from a fast look on the emblem).
However that didn’t cease the great of us on X (previously Twitter) from taking this put up significantly and providing up their hottest takes.


“She beats youngsters. He beats ladies. Match made in heaven,” wrote one consumer.
“Two abusers courting one another,” one other added.
“I don’t have any thought who the heck he’s however he’s sporting some bizarre crap on his toes,” wrote a 3rd consumer (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 value noting that the state of affairs is perhaps 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 mild finally.
Within the meantime, Taylor doesn’t want any new scandals. So it’s in all probability a great factor that she’s not courting Stefon Diggs (so far as we all know).
