Josh Allen recently shared exciting news regarding his engagement to Hailee Steinfeld, but reactions from his ex, Brittany Williams, took a sharp turn. Was the comment really from her?
On November 29, Allen and Steinfeld announced their engagement via Instagram, catching many fans off guard in a delightful way. While most comments congratulated the couple, a few expressed sarcastic disappointment, like one individual who jokingly commented, “Devastated for myself personally.”
It’s clear some fans drew parallels between the situation and their own disappointments. One user even expressed a regretful sentiment saying, “How do I explain to my future kids that this was supposed to be their mom?” However, the bigger question is how did Brittany Williams react to the news? She didn’t leave any comments on the engagement posts, but she did engage with critics later, which led to a controversial response.
Williams Denies Posting Controversial Comment
In a response to a comment from an Instagram follower who asked, “Still searching for your next pro athlete?”, Williams replied: “Luckily my boyfriend owns a team and doesn’t play for one. don’t have to be with another brain dead CTE athlete,” as per the New York Post.
This sharp comment proved controversial due to its insensitivity towards the issue of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a serious concern in contact sports. Allen has had his share of concussions in his football career, making Williams’ comment seem rather flippant. Shortly after screenshots of her reply spread online, Williams claimed her account had been hacked and quickly issued a clarification via her Instagram Story, stating that her account had been breached multiple times that night.

I’m looking for help to fix this issue. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.
Is it possible that her social media account was compromised? Absolutely — this is a common occurrence. Could she experience strong feelings upon learning that her former partner, whom she was with for a significant period, is now marrying quickly post-breakup? Yes, that’s quite likely.
A Long Relationship Between Allen and Williams
Brittany Williams and Josh Allen have shared a lengthy history. As Williams mentioned on the “Martinis + Bikinis” podcast in February 2024, their relationship spanned almost ten years, with periods of dating and breaks. This is a significant duration, especially considering their ties since childhood.
Regardless of their past, Williams seems to be thriving. She shared that adjusting to being single was challenging initially, but she is now thoroughly enjoying the vibrant dating scene in New York City. She expressed, “It’s so entertaining. It helps clarify what you’re looking for, preventing you from settling for less.”
Given this outlook, it’s reasonable to give Williams the benefit of the doubt regarding her claim of a hacked account. Although the timing appears suspicious — it could be tempting to resort to such an excuse following a slip in judgment — she seemed to have moved on since February. It’s improbable she’d revert to emotional distress months later, even after a sudden engagement revelation. Furthermore, the comments she made about CTE don’t align with the depth of their long-standing relationship. Regardless of her current feelings, we wish her happiness, just as we do for Allen and Steinfeld.
