Nessa Barrett and Josh Richards took over headlines last year due to a TikTok love quadrant that resulted in hurt feelings and accusations of cheating. Things kicked off after Nessa appeared in a music video with Jaden Hossler in 2021. At the time, Hossler was dating his on-again, off-again girlfriend Mads Lewis. Around this time, Hossler and Lewis unfollowed each other on social media, with Lewis making some damning Tweets that appeared to hint at infidelity on Hossler\u2019s side. The drama ramped up even further when Hossler and Nessa Barrett went public with their relationship \u2014 a turn that also hurt TikToker Josh Richards, who had been dating Nessa at the time and has since claimed that Nessa cheated on him with Hossler. It appears that their relationship was not to last. A year later, both Hossler and Barrett published a statement to social media confirming their split (as well as debunking any claims of creating a \u201cpublicity stunt\u201d for Barrett\u2019s upcoming album).

Unfortunately for fans, this is not the case. Richards spoke out on the viral image of him and Barrett in an interview with paparazzi from the Daily Stardust, claiming that Barrett had wanted to talk with him to get \u201cclosure\u201d on their breakup last year.
