The Hayley Drama

### **Disclaimer**

Leafy wasn't present for this drama and all of these claims are still alleged. Please don't treat anything on this page as definitive fact. A lot of the posts detailed in this have since been deleted/made private so a lot of this is just based on what people who read the posts agreed on remembering. If anyone has screenshots to please add a gallery and put them on this page.

### **Context**

A woman started posting images of her and Leafy on Facebook, referring to him as her boyfriend and had his account as her boyfriend on her profile. Since these pictures where ones that hadn't been posted by Leafy, Leafy followed her and it was the same girl in each photo, it was widely excepted that this woman, going by the name Hayley, was Leafy's girlfriend.

### **Both Sides Accusations**

One day, Hayley would change her boyfriend on Facebook to another man and would post multiple photos of her and this man, referring to him as her boyfriend, with Leafy now having unfollowed her. Of course, the Leafy fanbase would catch onto this and ask what happened and Hayley would claim that he was abusive towards her. Since no evidence was provided, the accusation hang in the air for a while.

A very popular Leafy stan account at the time (who was known for being part of Leafy's friend group) would later post a post on Tumblr claiming that it was in fact the other way around (Hayley being abusive towards Leafy). Unlike Hayley, this post had a lot of accusations, all detailed by either them or by other people who where also known for being friends with Leafy writing their own statements in the form of screenshots of direct messages.

### **The Story Given By The Post**

The story goes like this:

Leafy had just started collage and at collage he would meet Hayley. They would later get into a relationship but Leafy would have a talk with her, detailing that he wasn't ready/comfortable doing anything romantic yet and that he wanted her to not refer to him as "Leafy" on the internet because he wanted to keep his YouTube life and personal life separate. Hayley would be very upset about this and would ask Leafy for some sort of compensation in return. They would later agree that this compensation would be Hayley living with Leafy and him paying her side of the rent for her.

Them living with each other would lead to a lot of problems, mainly being ways that Hayley would try to manipulate him. 3 examples where given:

1. Hayley locked Leafy in his room while she went out with her friends. He was stuck in there until one of the people writing the post came to his house and let him out
2. Leafy had gone out with a few of his friends and Hayley tagged along. During the time they where out, Hayley kept making comments about the friends and would keep trying to get Leafy to leave and stop talking to them, becoming increasingly annoyed when Leafy would carry on being there and talking to them
3. Multiple accounts of her taking money out of his wallet while he was sleeping, to the point where leafy would have to take loans from his friends to pay for things like food, heating, water etc

The post would also detail her being hostile to Leafy's friends and family, dming his friends telling them to stop talking to him and seemingly being annoyed whenever Leafy would even mention his family. People would keep telling him to break up with her and he would eventually tell one of his friends about his side of things. The friend, after hearing this, advised Leafy to break up with her and said he could stay with him so he could get away from her. Leafy would later come to this friends house very upset and when asked why he explained it was because he had found out that she not only had another boyfriend (the man she had been posting on her Facebook) but that she was with this man before they had even met, being with Leafy solely for money and clout.

### **Boyfriends Statement**

The man Hayley was allegedly with while being with Leafy would then later release a statement of his own, stating that he had broken up with her after finding out what she had been doing to Leafy and that he was sorry for unintentionally being part of it, adding that he hopes Leafy's doing okay now.

This statement would seemingly be backed by the two no longer having each other listed as partners and the fact that, at this time, the post wasn't that well known and the boyfriend seemingly only had a Facebook account, making it unlikely he would have seen the post on his feed.

### **The Aftermath**

People who saw what was happening then started sending Leafy dm's asking if he was okay. Leafy would later post a video stating that he was honoured that people would care about him and that he's grateful for such a caring fanbase but that he was okay and there was nothing to worry about and that even if there was he has people in his personal life that he can ask for help. He would also reply to someone asking his opinion on relationships saying that he wasn't interested in them. these two things would lead people to believe that it was true, especially since screenshots where going around that people where getting left on read for asking about her.

### **Reddit Comeback**

Years after this, a new fan would ask a question about Hayley on the R/LeafyIsHere subreddit. Surprisingly, they would get a DM from someone claiming to be her. The kid would ask to message on something else to prove it was her, she offered her OnlyFans but after the fan said no they agreed on Instagram and sure enough, it was her.

The fan would go into the The Leafy Wiki Discord and ask what questions they should ask and this lead to Hayley saying what had happened recently.

### **Hayley's Story (w/ flaws)**

1. Hayley would claim that her and Leafy had never broken up and that he was actually with her while she was talking to them. During this time Leafy and other YouTubers where posting about them being out with each other on twitter so this is impossible
2. She claimed the entire drama was started by Leafy's brother Crisp, saying he had been shit-talking him on twitch the day before and that Leafy was really upset about it and never wanted to speak to him ever again. The server went through not only Crisps stream from that day but also the ones from the entire week on both Twitch and YouTube,. Although Leafy was mentioned, it was all positive, so there was definitely no shit talking going on. Also, Leafy and Crisp are known for being extremely close and being inseparable when together so Leafy never wanting to speak to him ever again is really unlikely. Leafy and Crisp would also carry on being extremely close after this, Leafy even sharing a hotel room with him and having him as his plus one for Keem's birthday party in Vegas, further proving this wrong.

### **H3H3 Podcast**

H3H3 brought Hayley on their podcast to do an entire episode to hating Leafy. Apparently Hayley was claiming that all of the claims about Leafy (see **The Story Given By The Post)** where actually about her and that Leafy was the abusive one. Since I personally haven't watched it and don't intend on watching it I cant say what's exactly said but hopefully someone who has seen it can edit this and say something about it.
