Victoria's Secret models Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel have fallen out after Swanepoel began dating Tom Brady, whom Smalls previously dated.
Victoria's Secret supermodels Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel, who have been 'inseparable' for 15 years, have reportedly fallen out over Tom Brady. Both women have dated the former NFL star, according to multiple outlets. Smalls dated Brady on and off for about a year, while Swanepoel is believed to have been dating him for some time.
The feud appears to centre on what Smalls views as a betrayal of friendship. According to reports, when Smalls was dating Brady, Swanepoel encouraged her to end the relationship. However, Swanepoel subsequently began dating Brady herself, which Smalls found objectionable.
Smalls has responded by allegedly issuing an ultimatum to mutual friends to choose between her and Swanepoel. In since-deleted social media comments obtained by DeuxMoi, she branded Swanepoel a 'backstabber' and accused her of violating 'girl code'. Smalls wrote: 'And the disrespect and carelessness in how they treat you is so unimaginable. There's no going back. Some people lack humility and moral compass. And the way they gaslight, lie and minimize your feelings is the worst slap in the face after 15yrs of friendship. Not a sorry said or written.'
Smalls also posted an Instagram message about 'accountability' being 'the scariest thing some people can face', which appeared to reference the dispute. In another social media comment, she compared the situation to the recent falling-out between 'Summer House' cast members Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller, whose friendship ended when Batula secretly dated Miller's ex.
Swanepoel's representative issued a statement to Fox News, saying: 'Candice has always been exceptionally private about her personal life, with her focus remaining on raising her children. She and Joan share a longstanding history and a friendship that Candice will always respect.' Representatives for Smalls and Brady did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
