NFL star Josh Allen’s ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams has claimed her Instagram was hacked after a nasty comment from her account about the quarterback went viral.

After announcing that 28-year-old Allen had gotten engaged to the singer Pitch Perfect 2 star Hailee Steinfeld, 27, a comment allegedly posted from Williams’ account calling Allen a “brain dead CTE athlete” made the rounds online.

Hours later on Friday, Williams posted a message on her Instagram Story saying, “My accounts have been hacked multiple times this evening. I’m trying to solve it. If anyone has any tips please imk.”

Williams’ message came after fans spotted her supposed reaction to a comment on one of her previous posts and took a screenshot in which someone wrote: “Haven’t I found the next professional athlete yet???”

“Luckily my boyfriend owns a team and doesn’t play for one,” she replied. “I don’t need to be with another brain dead CTE athlete.”

According to the Indiana University School of Medicine, CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) is a progressive degenerative disease that affects people who have suffered repeated concussions and traumatic brain injuries. It is a common injury suffered by football players.

The Independent has reached out to a representative for Williams for comment.

Allen and Williams were childhood friends who dated for nearly a decade before splitting in early 2023. In May 2023, Williams was romantically linked to Steinfeld.

The couple made their first public appearance in October 2023 at an NHL season opener in Buffalo.

Last July, they made their relationship Instagram official with a romantic photo of them hugging in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Steinfeld spoke about their relationship in the October issue of her newsletter Beau Societyand talks about a bizarre holiday memory when they accidentally bought each other the same Christmas present – a chef’s knife.

“After we exchanged knives lol, he told me that there’s an old wives’ tale: If you give your significant other a knife, you have to pay for it or it means breaking up a relationship,” she wrote. “So we swapped quarters to avoid the bad omen.”

Allen previously spoke about the pressures that come with dating in the spotlight on an August 2023 episode of the series Pardon my opinion Podcast a disturbing experience with a photographer who tried to photograph the couple from a boat.

“It’s a gross feeling,” Allen admitted, describing the insecurity it caused.
