Shameik Moore was blasted on social media after actress Laura Harrier called him out for posting an old video to spark dating rumors.
Hollywood is full of publicity stunts and fake relationships to drum up attention for celebrities to increase their star power. However, some people refrain from those antics and purely do their job and stay away from the weird behavior. Actress Laura Harrier took to social media to clear up rumors she was dating Spider-man: Into The Spider-verse actor Shameik Moore.
Allegedly the rumors started after Moore posted a video of the two posing for pictures at a swanky Hollywood event.
According to Sportskeeda, Harrier isn’t pleased with the rumors and revealed she contacted Moore and requested he delete the video.
“I keep seeing all these videos that I am being tagged in with another actor and people speculating, what that is, it’s really annoying me because I’m literally engaged.” Harrier said in a recent Tik-Tok. That’s important to me, and you know, I’m in Hollywood, I get it. People do PR stunts, whatever, people like to get attention.”
Laura went on to explain she usually remains private but she’s happily engaged to creative consultant Sam Jarou but her friends were asking about the video.
“Not sure why you would post that now. And so I texted him, we’re not close, like I know him just from around. And I texted him, ‘Hey, can you take this down?’ Also I’m literally getting married and I don’t like this insinuation that there is something going on between us if that was your intention.”
Harrier called the video still being up after her takedown request “f**king weird” and Moore a “f**king weirdo” in return. Surprisingly she also revealed the video was taken over a year ago and alleged Moore is simply using her to try and get attention. Shameik eventually deleted the video calling it a “misunderstanding” and blamed the commentary around the video instead of taking responsibility.
