TikTok Star Addresses Controversy, Reflects on Marriage in Candid Video
Bella Poarch, the hugely popular TikTok star and rising music artist, has finally spoken out to directly address the swirling rumors and speculation that she cheated on her ex-husband Tyler Poarch with rapper Tyga. In a recent TikTok video, the 25-year-old singer broke her silence on the controversy that has plagued her for over a year, revealing she has even received death threats due to the baseless allegations of infidelity.
“I never made a sex tape or cheated on him with Tyga,” Poarch stated emphatically in the candid clip while brewing herself a cup of green tea. “I’ve only met Tyga once, and that was to film a TikTok, and that was something my team had set up.”
Poarch Met Tyga Only Once for TikTok Collab
Bella Poarch and Tyga initially linked up back in December 2020 to film a duet together on TikTok set to Tyga’s song “Money Mouf.” But according to the TikTok sensation, that single interaction was the full extent of their in-person relationship.
The cheating rumors began spreading like wildfire across social media, with some even claiming the existence of an alleged sex tape between Poarch and the “Taste” rapper. Poarch swiftly shut down the sex tape rumor earlier this year during a TikTok challenge where she had to state “two truths and one lie.” The singer highlighted “I made a sex tape with Tyga” in red, clearly indicating there was zero truth to the salacious claim.
Poarch Opens Up About Ex-Husband Tyler
In addition to putting the Tyga rumors to rest once and for all, Poarch also took a moment in her recent TikTok to reflect on her relationship with her ex-husband Tyler Poarch. News of the TikTok star’s marital status first shocked fans in 2022 when TMZ reported she had filed for divorce after nearly four years of marriage.
Poarch emphasized that despite their split, she and her ex-Navy husband continue to share a deep bond. “The truth is that we’re both different people from when we met when we were 19 in the Navy, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a lot of love for each other,” she explained.
The social media sensation expressed gratitude for Tyler’s unwavering support, especially during her darkest and most difficult moments. “He’s literally been there for me through my darkest moments and has continued to be there for me during my worst days,” Poarch shared.
Reason for Divorce: Differing Priorities
So what ultimately led to the demise of Poarch’s marriage? The singer has revealed that her rapid rise to fame on TikTok and desire to pursue a music career clashed with her husband’s aversion to the spotlight.
“Everything just happened so fast,” Poarch admitted during an October 2023 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast. “TikTok happened, and he didn’t wanna be in the spotlight. I respect that, though. It’s hard when I want to pursue music, like I wanna be an artist, I want to share music, I want to make content. But when the person you love wants something different, it’s hard.”
In the end, Poarch’s skyrocketing career trajectory and Tyler’s reservations about the limelight proved incompatible, leading the couple to go their separate ways. Poarch cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce in court documents obtained by TMZ.
Fans Rally Behind Poarch, Critics Stir Drama
Poarch’s straightforward, no-nonsense TikTok addressing the rumors has garnered an outpouring of support from her legions of devoted fans. Many praised the singer for her honesty and bravery in confronting the allegations head-on.
“I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with death threats over lies and rumors,” one fan commented. “You don’t deserve that. Sending you love and positive vibes. Keep shining!”
However, the video also attracted its fair share of trolls and critics eager to stir up more drama. Some made jokes about Tyga’s alleged reaction, with comments like “Tyga smiling while rubbing his hands right now” popping up.
A Social Media Hiatus and Stunning Return
The revelation of Poarch’s divorce ignited intense backlash from some fans who felt betrayed that she had kept her marriage hidden from the public eye. In the wake of the news, the TikTok star decided to take a break from social media to escape the noise and focus on herself.
Poarch made a triumphant return to the spotlight in October 2023 with her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. In addition to discussing the reasons behind her divorce, she also hinted at exciting new music on the horizon.
