Seb Denied Cheating Allegations
He Claimed It Was A Giant Misunderstanding
Sebwas quick to post his own response on TikTok after Kayla released her video. TheToo Hot To Handlestar claimed that Kayla was supportive of his New York Fashion Week stint and was aware that he would be working closely with Micah. However, as the event grew closer, Seb alleged that Kayla, “instead of reaching out to me to find out the truth, she decided to go straight to the internet and stir a lot of sh*t,” and that despite trying to call her and talk things out, she wouldn’t answer.
Seb claimed that the cheating allegations were “100% false” and that he and Micah were “strictly platonic.” In her own seven-minute TikTok response,Micahshared that she was “sad” to see how Seb and Kayla’s relationship had ended, and assured followers she was a big fan of the couple onToo Hot To Handle.
Seb and Kayla have endured relationship issues in the past, but Seb and Micah’s connection at New York Fashion Week raised red flags again for the Scottish race car driver and model.
According to Micah, Seb was in touch with her agency regarding Fashion Week, but Micah’s plans had been solidified for weeks.Micah claimed one of the first things she did was ask if Kayla was okay with Seb’s participation in the event, as they would be spending a lot of time together. ThePerfect Matchstar was also forthright with her significant other, and she was under the impression that there was no problem. Micah and Seb shared management and a stylist for the event, which is why they were in so many photos together.
Are Seb & Micah Together?
They Are Not A Couple
According to both Micah and Seb, the two are not together and have never had a romantic relationship. In his video, Seb assured fans that, “Micah and I’s relationship is strictly platonic, and anything otherwise is completely perpetuated by the internet.” Similarly, Micah assured followers that nothing happened between her and Seb, saying their relationship is professional. This practice enables stylists to build their portfolios efficiently, showcasing their work for future events.
Micah and Seb hadn’t even met in person before the first day of fashion week, and though they hit it off, the photo ops and videos of the pair together were strictly for promotional purposes. While Kayla claims the pictures from the event were hurtful, it’s clear from Micah’s TikTok that she and Seb never did anything wrong. It seems Seb has been unfaithful or untrustworthy to Kayla in the past, and they have their own demons to work out.
Micah has been a controversial reality TV starbetween her time onPerfect MatchandLove Is Blind, but she clearly explained how everything went during the week. Micah didn’t do anything wrong, and it seems that Seb didn’t cheat on Kayla. Hopefully, the twoToo Hot To Handlestars will work things out, but Micah deserves to be left out of the narrative.
