Peighton Tubre, an influencer known for her football commentary with over one million followers, addressed rumors on Instagram on November 5 that she was involved in an affair with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.
Tubre responded to reports claiming that she and Nussmeier were seen entering a hotel room together the night before one of his games. She explained that when she first saw the post on Facebook, it had only 30 likes, so she chose not to respond immediately to avoid drawing attention.
“Recently, there was an article posted on Facebook saying that I was having an affair with Garrett Nussmeier, that we were seen entering a hotel room together the night before one of his games,” said Tubre in her Instagram video.
Initially hoping the rumors would fade away, Tubre admitted, “I was just kind of hoping that it was going to go away and nobody was going to see it.” However, as the story spread widely, she said, “Everyone saw it. People are blowing up my phone.”
