Plus Tom allegedly posted a heartbreaking Instagram Story and unfollowed her."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Allegedly, from a viral post, reported by an account that wrote it in capital letters. Great sourcing."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Here's what's actually true. There's no evidence of any kissing photo."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"And the old breakup rumors? Tom's side denied them. They held hands leaving the Dune: Part Two premiere."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Okay, but I get why it spreads. Two famous people, a third famous person, a red carpet. It writes itself."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"It writes itself because the same rumor gets recycled every six months."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Come on, it's harmless. Nobody's life changes because a fan account got dramatic."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Tell that to the two people in the post. Nobody asked them, and nobody checked."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Fine. The skull emoji and the siren don't make it news."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Thank you. Next time, lead with the denial."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Different red carpet, much sweeter. One fan on X was reading comments from viewers who never watched a certain dating show."},{"host":"Laura","text":"The two stars walked the carpet hand in hand, and those viewers asked, why are they holding hands? Which celebrity brings their partner to an event?"},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Which celebrity brings their partner? Almost every one of them, Laura."},{"host":"Laura","text":"That's the joke. If you watched the show, you know why they're holding hands."},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Fair, but I'll push back a little. A couple walking in together isn't a mystery."},{"host":"Laura","text":"It is if you're coming in cold!

The caption literally says, 'Lord Ram has reached Hollywood.'"},{"host":"Claudette","text":"Bold caption. The Jada angle feels like the account chasing a famous name."},{"host":"Laura","text":"Maybe.
