Sun Dec 08 22:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Josh Allen’s Ex-Girlfriend Accused of Online Attack Following Engagement Announcement
**Buffalo, NY** – The engagement announcement of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld on Friday, November 29th, was quickly overshadowed by online drama involving Allen’s ex-girlfriend, Brittany Williams.
Williams, a pilates instructor who dated Allen for six years before their 2023 breakup, allegedly posted a comment calling Allen a “brain dead CTE athlete.” The comment, which was later deleted, appeared as a response to a question about finding a new professional athlete boyfriend. Screenshots of the comment rapidly spread across social media platforms like Reddit and X.
Williams subsequently claimed her Instagram account had been hacked, stating on her Instagram stories that she was “trying to get it resolved.” However, this claim has been met with skepticism by some online users who pointed out inconsistencies, such as the delayed response to the initial comment and her ability to post about the alleged hacking.
The controversy unfolded just hours after Allen and Steinfeld shared a heartwarming engagement photo on Instagram, announcing their engagement on November 22nd. The couple’s post was met with overwhelming support and well wishes from friends, family, and fellow athletes. A source close to the couple confirmed that their families are thrilled about the upcoming wedding. The incident involving Williams adds an unexpected layer of drama to the celebratory news.
