Taylor Armstrong recently addressed a false rumor circulating on social media that claimed she had confirmed to GQ that she had dated her longtime friend Kyle Richards. The tweet was a parody based on a GQ profile of Hunter Schafer, who confirmed dating Rosalía. Armstrong quickly shut down the false information, stating that Kyle is like family to her and she never made any such claims.
After Armstrong clarified and debunked the rumor, her followers expressed their support and noted that the original tweet was a parody. Some fans joked about the situation, suggesting that Armstrong should sue the meme account responsible for spreading the false information. Despite the confusion caused by the fake news, Armstrong’s fans quickly came to her defense and acknowledged that the rumor was unfounded.
While the rumor about Armstrong and Richards dating was proven false, the two have been close friends since Armstrong’s time on the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in 2010. Richards, who was married to Mauricio Umansky at the time, recently went through a high-profile separation with her husband after 27 years of marriage. Armstrong has remained neutral on the issue and has only expressed her desire for Richards to be happy.
Despite gossip linking Richards to country singer Morgan Wade, both have denied any romantic involvement. However, their interactions on social media, including flirtatious comments on Instagram and a provocative music video, have fueled speculation. Umansky, while acknowledging the connection between Richards and Wade, has not pressured Richards to address the rumors directly.
As the situation continues to unfold, Armstrong has not responded to the clarifications or addressed the false rumor further. The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of misinformation on social media and the importance of fact-checking before spreading unverified information. Armstrong’s swift response and her followers’ support illustrate the power of social media in quickly debunking false claims and setting the record straight to prevent further confusion.
