What is the Shameik Moore vs. Laura Harrier controversy?
It all started when Moore uploaded a video of him and Harrier with the caption 'coming soon.' It caused a little stir among fans, who were quick to speculate that the two were dating. This did not sit well with Harrier because she is already engaged to a Paris-based consultant, Sam Jarou.
She took to social media to voice her frustration via a now-deleted video. She clarified that the video was taken a year ago at a party when someone asked them to click photos together. She added that she asked Moore to delete the video, respecting her relationship status.
When he didn't, it made her come forward and talk about it openly on social media. Sounding irritated over his behavior, she called him a "f*****g weirdo."
Shameik Moore responded to her video with an apology video, stating that it was all a misunderstanding. He added that since the video is public, the fans get a free hand at deducing meaning and have their commentary. Moore said that he meant no harm and was only promoting a song. The video matched the song's aesthetic, and that's the only reason he uploaded it.
