Here we go again. Another influencer and their significant other broke up, but ANOTHER influencer slid into the ex’s Instagram DMs not even a month later. Now this is worth our time to go down the TikTok rabbit hole and watch every post-break-up video to acquire all the information we need.
Who are Halley and Sophia? What’s the Drama?
Halley Kate, a 23-year-old NYC influencer, is widely known for her outspoken personality and for posting her lifestyle and endless clothing hauls on TikTok.
Although she has publicized her single and dating life, Halley’s break-up with her boyfriend of approximately a year has led to a new stream of content of subtle disses and sharing all her feelings online.
When an influencer deals with a public breakup, we watch the public announcement, stalk both parties’ socials and move on. With this break-up, there seems to be a twist with another NYC influencer swooping in on the ex-boyfriend a couple of weeks later.
Sophia LaCorte, known for similar beauty and lifestyle content as Halley, made headlines in TikTok drama when exposed as the one to reach out to Halley’s ex.
If TikTok Can’t Answer Our Questions, A Podcast Episode Will!
This drama escalated quickly on TikTok with not only content creators whose sole content is covering social media drama but Halley herself confirming the rumors. Halley expressed her thoughts and opinions on her account and used her podcast, “Delusional Diaries” to go into detail with co-host and close friend Jaz.

To debrief and summarize the episode, Halley explains how she and Sophia run in the same influencer circle in New York but are not close friends whatsoever. Halley says how she bought her a shot the same night Sophia scrolled through her Instagram following to find her ex-boyfriend’s account.
She comes to find out later how Sophia reached out to her ex and the two went on a date to a very public spot in the city. As every influencer does when airing out people’s dirty laundry, they ask their followers to not spread hate to those involved but no one listens.
What the Internet Does Best: Take Sides
The internet can get divisive very quickly, especially with hot drama. The majority has taken Halley’s side with supportive comments and brands sending her condolences with flowers and other gifts.
On the other side, Sophia has not commented on the situation and continues to pump out regular content. Accounts leave their #TeamHalley comments, make a dig at her appearance and move on. The support is clear and one-sided.
All this drama brings up a multitude of questions. Is it appropriate to hit up an ex-boyfriend if you share mutual friends with the ex? How soon is too soon? Does it matter if you’re not THAT close with the girl?
