Remember back in the summer when Harry Styles was linked to model Paige Reifler with the insta-pic proof?!
Well, an old photo has emerged online of the duo kissing, which was reportedly taken during the time that Harry and Paige were rumored to be dating/hooking up while he was in NYC!
…and it’s apparently being used as some sort of weird ploy to hurt all parties involved!
NOTE: Paige is wearing flowered shorts we’ve seen her in before, and Harry’s forearm tattoo/brown boots are on full display!
Word on the 1D street is that the model is being blackmailed by her (former) friends Walter Martinez, Stephen Orso and Alec Orso!
The three guys were allegedly trying to sell the make-out pic to TMZ, but decided to post them on Instagram to get as much publicity as possible.
There were also rumors the friends tagged MTV and other media outlets to garner even more attention.
One Direction fans believe the trio is doing it to get noticed, and it’s working—especially since Paige Twitter begged for the pic to be taken down:
Walter, who posted the pic that’s since been deleted due to fan backlash, gained a large amount of followers overnight—further igniting the krazy controversy!
Whatever the dramz may be, the point is, there was definitely something going on between Harry and Paige! Just waiting for Hazza’s response!
Hopefully this twisted web will be untangled with explanation ASAP!
