Breckie Hill, the rising influencer, has stepped forward to dispel swirling rumors claiming she played a role in the breakup between actor Barry Keoghan and singer Sabrina Carpenter. Following their split amid allegations of infidelity, Hill took to TikTok on Saturday to declare unequivocally, "To put it simply for you all, no, I did not get with Barry. I have never even encountered this man in my life." Her video, posted on December 7, quickly drew attention as fans tried to untangle the connections between the trio.
The speculation began after Hill shared Snapchat videos from BOA Steakhouse on November 18—the same night Carpenter performed nearby. Online users jumped to conclusions, sensing chemistry based solely on Hill's posts. "The only time I've seen him is on my TV screen from watching Saltburn,” she clarified, referencing her familiarity with Keoghan through his acting, not personal encounters.
Hill insisted the rumors were exaggerated and noted she shared the video mentioning her supposed involvement purely because she found it preposterous. "I reposted this video claiming I was home-wrecking Sabrina Carpenter's relationship just simply because I thought it was so ridiculous," she explained. Hill also empathized with Carpenter's situation, sharing, “Coming from someone who has been cheated on, I would never want to homewreck any relationship or put any girl through pain.”
Compounding the drama, Keoghan also released statements addressing the social media backlash and rumors. He did not directly reference Carpenter but stated, “I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet... The messages I have received no person should ever have to read.” The actor described how the harassment took a toll on him, implying it affected not only his personal life but also his role as a father.
The previous week, it was confirmed by sources close to the couple, Keoghan and Carpenter decided to take some time apart after dating for approximately a year. An insider revealed to Life and Style, “It was frustrating being apart so much, and the long-distance factor really did them in. It’s over.” Long-distance relationships often strain those involved, and this case appears no different.
Hill continued to address the confusion during her TikTok update, explaining how her social media activities were misinterpreted. She had been dining with friends and offered feedback on drinks from their meal. "I gave the margarita a six out of ten because I said it was too salty," Hill said, emphasizing how innocent comments spiraled out of control. Further complicacies arose when one of the drinks on the menu, called ‘Blackberry Smash,’ was humorously misconstrued as another reference to Keoghan.
Fans turned to Hill’s TikTok, flooding the comments section with support after she shared her experience, amplifying the burden of the rumors she faced. One fan noted, "I’m so sorry for all the hate you got beautiful. You’re a lovely person & I hope you heal fast,” brightening the influencer’s situation amid the scandal.
The situation exemplifies how social media can distort personal narratives and lead to unfounded accusations, especially within the public eye. While Hill maintains her innocence, it’s clear the interconnected lives of celebrities like Keoghan, Carpenter, and Hill can quickly become fodder for online speculation.
Fans are left to ponder the reality behind these headlines, whether they prefer to cast blame or offer support. Meanwhile, the personal ramifications of such rumors stress the importance of accurate public perceptions and the truth for those involved.
Moving forward, as celebrity relationships continue to face invasive scrutiny, one must wonder how much longer figures like Hill will bear the brunt of rumor-fueled drama. The outpouring of support for Hill showcases the deeply human side to influencer culture, venturing beyond mere internet gossip.
