Following the news of Josh Allen's engagement to Hailee Steinfeld, the Buffalo Bills quarterback's ex-girlfriend, Brittany Williams, has found herself in the spotlight. Williams, an Instagram influencer, recently deleted a comment and a subsequent Instagram story after the engagement announcement. The deleted comment, a response to a question about her dating life, suggested her current boyfriend "owns a team and doesn't have to play for one," adding a pointed remark about not needing to be with "another brain dead CTE athlete." Williams later claimed her account was hacked and deleted a follow-up story about the alleged hacking incident.

Williams has previously spoken about her decade-long relationship with Allen and the challenges of navigating the dating scene after their split. In a February podcast interview, she described the experience as "fun and exciting," emphasizing her focus on finding a compatible partner. She even compared her post-breakup experience to a "'Sex and the City' moment."

Rumors of the couple's separation began circulating in May 2023, fueled by Williams unfollowing Allen on Instagram and seemingly celebrating her birthday without him. Further speculation arose when both attended the Kentucky Derby separately. Meanwhile, Allen and Steinfeld's relationship, which began in the spring of 2023, has remained relatively private. The couple has rarely made public appearances together. Now, with their engagement announcement, the spotlight returns to Williams, who is left to manage the fallout from her deleted comments and focus on her own dating journey.
