A Louisiana-based football influencer has publicly refuted viral rumors claiming she had an affair with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier after a false article circulated on Facebook.
Peighton Tubre, 26, spoke out to her more than 200,000 Instagram followers, stating:
“I’d like to address some of the fake news that has been circulating about me on the internet. Recently, there was an article posted on Facebook saying that I was having an affair with Garrett Nussmeier and that we were seen entering a hotel room together the night before one of his games.”
Initially, she ignored the post because it was untrue and had limited engagement.
“I was hoping it was going to go away and no one would see it. Spoiler alert, everyone saw it. People are blowing up my phone, people are reaching out to my family members which is really weird.”
Contrary to her hope that the rumors would fade, the situation worsened:
“So today, somebody sends me another article that they posted saying that Garrett sent me unsolicited photos that made me uncomfortable, and I posted the screenshots on social media, which, if you follow me, you know I didn’t post anything like that. It is just fake, it is all fake.”
Summary: Peighton Tubre firmly rejects baseless claims of an affair with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, calling out the circulating fake news and resulting harassment.
