Well, Olivia is finally owning up to accidentally following ex Joshua Bassett while “stalking” him on the app and she’s sharing the story behind what happened. It seemingly happened on July 2, 2022.

Olivia opened up during her interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday (December 7) in New York City.

“I try to follow zero people because it helps me be off of my phone, you know, off of social media,” Olivia explained.

She continued, “There was this very embarrassing encounter once where I was stalking my ex, as one does, sue me, I’m sorry. And I accidentally followed him because I was stalking him. I was just following one person so it was super obvious that I was following him and my friend ran into my room like, ‘Oh my god, did you mean to follow him?! Unfollow him!’”

“And I went and grabbed my phone and I went to open the Instagram app and the second I opened the app, my phone died. I couldn’t find a charger so I was just following my ex for a while. It was quite embarrassing,” Olivia said.

Olivia noted how “people were like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s hacked,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah you guys, be safe!’”

Even though Olivia didn’t name Joshua on the show, you can see fans talking about the moment in tweets here.
