Chrissy Teigen is calling out the "tacky" women who outed Ben Affleck and Matthew Perry for reportedly using the dating app Raya.
Earlier this week a video posted by TikTok user Nivine Jay emerged of a man appearing to be Affleck asking her why she had unmatched with him. Shortly after, another woman posted a video on TikTok of herself having a conversation with a man who was allegedly Perry on FaceTime after they matched on Raya.
The videos caused a sensation, and on Thursday Teigen decided to share her views on the matter.
"I agree celebs shouldn't be making these creepy desperate video replies on Raya but it's tacky to release private messages. Ya both wrong, congrats," she tweeted.
In her post, Jay shares a video allegedly sent to her by Affleck via Instagram wondering why they were no longer matched.
"Nivine, why did you unmatch me? It's me" the man who looks identical to Affleck said. In her caption, Jay wrote, "Thinking of the time I matched with Ben Affleck on Raya and thought it was fake so I unmatched him and he sent me a video on Instagram."
Speaking with E! News this week, Jay explained that she meant no ill will toward Affleck by posting the video.
"I'm seeing a lot of comments calling him a creep and l don't think that's fair. l wasn't making fun of him in the video," she explained. "l was making fun of myself for thinking he was a catfish and it was just supposed to be funny."
Following in Jay's footsteps, 20-year-old Kate Haralson posted a now-deleted video of herself playing "20 Questions" with a man reported to be Perry, 50. Haralson, who was 19 at the time, later told Page Six that, although none of the questions were sexual in nature, there were times when she did feel uncomfortable — especially when, during the game, he asked her, "Am I as old as your dad?"
"I don’t think he minded that," she said. "It kind of felt weird talking to someone my dad’s age and it just felt not right, especially when he knew how young I was."
Haralson explained that she did not anticipate the video would receive as much attention as it did.
"Honestly, I never really had any intention of posting it, but then I saw that one video, and thought, 'Oh, this would be funny,'" she said. "I didn’t expect it to blow up as fast as it did."
Haralson decided to take the video down in less than 24 hours after posting it because she "did feel a little bad" because the man appearing to be Perry was a "nice guy." She added that although they did not ever meet up in person, he did allegedly once say to her, "Maybe one day you can get a COVID test and come over," but she was not interested.
