In the TikTok, which has already amassed over 800k views in the 15 hours it\u2019s been live, Kosh claims that Kaila is involved with another girl, Rilie Hardister. Hannah points out that Rilie recently commented on Ponton\u2019s most recent TikTok of herself and Novak, saying: \u201cThat wasn\u2019t very \u2018everything for views\u2019 of you Kaila.\u201d Kosh also showed evidence that Rilie and Novak know each other, including a screenshot of the two on FaceTime. Although the comment appears to have now been deleted, Hannah claimed that there was a good reason behind the comment, saying that there is an alleged deal between Olivia and Kaila where the two would pretend to date online, with Olivia promising to get Novak\u2019s sister into modeling in return. Backing up these claims, Hannah showed viewers apparent text conversations between Kaila and Rilie. In one text conversation, Kaila appears to tell Rilie that she \u201cneed[s] to know that what you\u2019re seeing on the internet just isn\u2019t real.\u201d Another text read: \u201cEvery single thing is for views, every word and comment is carefully planned out to get some kind of reaction. I\u2019m doing this all for my sister.\u201d The screenshots also suggest that Ponton is aware of Rilie\u2019s connection to Kaila, with the latter appearing to tell Hardister that Olivia had taken her phone and blocked Rilie on it. Although Kosh never revealed her source for this video, it seems likely that if the leaked text messages are real, they may have come from Rilie. TikTok users had mixed reactions to the claims. Some fans believe claims that the relationship is fake, with one pointing out that \u201cKai never posts about Liv.\u201d Another fan suggested that Olivia may have faked the relationship in order to win over fans, saying: \u201cI knew Olivia was doing it to stop the hate because everyone was mad at her for coming out as a prank so she got a girlfriend so she could say it was true.\u201d However, others suggested that Olivia might be a victim in the situation too, with one fan saying: \u201cThis is sketchy. Sounds like she [Kai] is playing both of them.\u201d Another asked: \u201cIf it was just some \u2018deal\u2019 why would Liv care enough to block the Rilie girl?\u201d Olivia originally caused speculation about her sexuality in March, when she posted a video lip-syncing to the lyrics: \u201cI am not gay, well first of all ehhh, but let\u2019s be precise\/ Cause if she\u2019s pretty then watch it \u2019cause I\u2019m gonna be f***ing your wife.\u201d With this song being used by a lot of LGBTQ+ people on the app, this led to a lot of people speculating that Ponton was bisexual. This was also around the time she started interacting with Ky on social media, with Olivia posting a video montage of her for her birthday before later posting a TikTok of the two kissing through face masks, effectively confirming their relationship. Last year, Ponton caused backlash among fans after taking part in an April Fool\u2019s challenge along with other TikTokers like Zachary Smith and Ivan Martinez. The challenge involved lip-syncing to Will.i.am\u2019s \u201cBoy\u2019s and Girls\u201d to \u201ccome out\u201d as queer. Although it seems that she has since come out for real, rumors about the legitimacy of her relationship with Ky is bound to raise questions again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viral TikTok \u2018exposes\u2019 Hype House\u2019s Olivia Ponton\u2019s \u201cfake\u201d relationship Instagram: Olivia PontonA viral TikTok by TikTok user Hannah Kosh seems to suggest that Olivia Ponton\u2019s relationship with Kaila Novak is \u201call for views\u201d \u2013 and it looks like she has receipts, too.
