Josh Allen’s engagement to Hailee Steinfeld is making headlines, but so is a controversial Instagram comment allegedly made by his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Williams. After screenshots of a shady remark surfaced on X/Twitter, Williams is now claiming her account was hacked.
Here’s the play: on one of Williams’ recent Instagram posts, someone commented, “Found the next pro athlete yet?” The alleged reply from Williams? A sharp dig: “Luckily my boyfriend owns a team and doesn’t play for one. 🙏 don’t have to be with another brain-dead CTE athlete.” The comment, posted shortly after Allen and Steinfeld shared their engagement news, quickly went viral.
However, Williams took to her Instagram early Saturday morning to address the drama. She posted, “My accounts have been hacked several times tonight. Trying to get it resolved. If anyone has any tips please lmk.” The controversial comment has since been deleted.
Josh and Brittany’s history dates back to childhood, with the pair dating from 2017 until earlier this year. Meanwhile, Allen and Steinfeld began their whirlwind romance just months later, culminating in their engagement announcement on Friday. The couple shared a romantic photo of Josh proposing to Hailee in front of a stunning floral arch and candles by the ocean. Allen’s post revealed he popped the question on November 22, taking advantage of the Buffalo Bills’ bye week.
While Brittany’s alleged comment stirred the pot, her hacking claims have left fans divided. Did she really make the comment, or is this just damage control? Either way, the timing couldn’t be more dramatic.
