They dated in the late 2010s for a few years. I think for both it was their longest relationship.

For some reason Reddit keeps filtering the video I post of it, but Olivia the singer/influencer (hate u love u, Josslyn) (previously dated Logan Paul and Pete Davidson) (heavy Raya user) said:

“He doesn’t live here, he lives in another country and I went there, and we went on a date (it’s a place I go go a lot), it was nice, it was fun, I think I had one too many gin and tonics so I was talking a little too much, and he got me a car to go home, and walked me to the car, we didn’t kiss, nothing, I’m not even sure if we hugged. I left and I was like ‘Um, so he hates me, and thinks I’m ugly and disgusting. What the hell was that? I thought we were having a good time.’

And then he left literally the day after to go back to a different country that he was filming his movie in. And then I just kind of never talked to him again. But I had such a complex about it, every time I would see - I can’t watch his movies, I can’t watch anything he’s in, because this man hates me and thinks I’m disgusting and I’m a piece of garbage.

So I told myself the next time I went back there, I’d hit him up and I would redeem myself, and so I did. But we didn’t go on a date, we just hooked up, I told myself I just need to hook up with him so that I know that he doesn’t think I’m ugly and disgusting.

‘Cause I was like, I don’t wanna date this man, ‘cause he’s probably a borderline [alcoholic], he drinks a little too much. And he had this air of sadness about him. I felt he wasn’t quite over his ex [Phoebe Bridgers]. Like, he’s not my person, but he’s really hot, so, let me go back there, I’ll hit him up at night.

And it worked, we just had one night, and he was like ‘That was so amazing’ and I was like ‘Yup’ and I slept over and he was snoring on me the entire night and he had his arm fully over me[…]I was just laying there fully awake[…]so finally it’s light out and I start sneaking out and he wakes up and asks me if I was leaving and I left and I was like OK, I never have to talk to him again.

I just wanted to end it on a good note, so that I could watch his movies, and not hate him. I feel like we’re friends now, even though he probably ghosted me. I’m like, cool, I had a great time with that guy. I had to it, like, I can’t hate him, I can’t have this person think I’m ugly and disgusting. Mission accomplished.”

Her song Imaginary is also loosely about him.

All the comments are saying it’s about Paul post-Phoebe breakup.

“I can’t stop you from trying to create a narrative or push an image…The hardest thing has been biting my tongue and trying to protect people that I love…I cannot explain my side of the truth or defend myself without having to expose other people, without having to be like, ‘Well, this is ACTUALLY what happened.’…I don’t want to do the same thing that’s being done to me…You cannot ignore a very vital part of the story, and hope that everything goes your way, and pretend like there’s not this other reality, and then force that on someone else, and then force them to deal with it…Like, oh yeah, sure, treat me like garbage and I’m just gonna stay quiet, and let you do whatever you want?

My philosophy is, when you really love somebody, you want to protect them, and you want to care for them…the people that haven’t protected me, maybe they didn’t love me the way that they think they did…True love, not romantic, says I care for you as a human being, and I care about your best interests, and I want to make sure you’re OK. I don’t believe you when you say you love me and then you throw me to the dogs.

The reason I’m trying to protect people is because I really love them, and I don’t know if I can say that the other way round.

When you’re in the hospital literally fighting for your life, and the people who…know how bad your condition when [they’re not there for you] it’s all the information you need.
