While Love Island star Lucinda Strafford partied away at Coachella, rumours were spreading on TikTok that she was cheating on Sean Stone - a claim she has since addressed.
In the villa, Lucinda and Sean had a rocky start to their relationship, as it started during 'Villa USA', when Sean's partner Belle Hassan was away. The fallout from their connection was major, it lead to explosive arguments and shocking walkouts.
Despite the trials and tribulations the pair experienced, they seem better than ever, having recently enjoyed a romantic weekend in Paris together. However, a harmless TikTok sparked an onslaught of rumours suggesting Lucinda was cheating on Sean over the weekend.
Lucinda has been living her best life at Coachella and documenting her trip on TikTok. However, one particular video caught fans attention, as she was seen sitting on a man’s shoulders, singing along to Justin Bieber perform 'Sorry'.
Many fans immediately jumped to conclusions and accused her of cheating on Sean. One fan commented: "What the hell are you doing?" Someone else commented: "She's saying sorry to Sean"
The following morning, Lucinda posted a GRWM video in which she cleared up the rumours, saying: “I woke up to drama on TikTok, I saw people thought that I cheated on Sean because I was on someone’s shoulders.
“Guys it was literally my hairstylist. I honestly had no idea how it looked until I looked at my comments this morning.”
She added: “I’ve actually been best friends with my hairstylist for about five years.”
Boyfriend Sean even took to the comments to back up her, writing: "Some people 😅 keep living your best life x"
It seems Lucinda didn't let the rumours ruin her trip, as she posted another TikTok of her enjoying the festival, with overlay text that read: "idc, idk, & idgaf"
Lucinda then captioned it: "too busy doing everything i said I would"
Many fans flooded the video with support. One commented: "she said what she said!!!😁😁💖 You are on your own league baby girl, keep shining 🌟💞"
