In the wake of all of the True Crime-like breakdown of her video, the TikToker jumped into the comments of her original post and addressed some of the wild claims being made about her boyfriend and the negativity around the post.

“Breaks my heart that people can watch a special moment and bring so much negativity.

Couch Guy responds to TikTok theories

She even made a duet post with ‘Couch Guy’ where they poked fun at some of the rumors.

Robbie himself urged viewers to not be a “parasocial creep” and to “go get some fresh air” instead of continuing to break down the post.

Naturally, some TikTok users were split on the post. “Girl, you trying to convince us or yourself?” asked one skeptical viewer. “We’re all here to talk when you’re ready,” added another skeptic. 

“Honestly, I’ve been with my bf for 7 years and I feel like he would give exact same reaction as yours did. you’re strong for not letting this get to u,” commented one supportive viewer.

Lauren has urged TikTokers to “stop the hate” surrounding the post as well, given people are not letting up with their wild accusations. Though, that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.
