Hailee Steinfeld Responds Gracefully to Drama Involving Josh Allen’s Ex, Brittany Williams
Hailee Steinfeld has finally offered a quiet but powerful response to the ongoing buzz surrounding her husband Josh Allen’s ex-girlfriend, Brittany Williams. The actress and singer, known for keeping her personal life private, addressed the situation during a recent interview—her first public comments since she and Allen wed in a private ceremony on May 31, 2025.
The drama began late last year when Allen and Steinfeld announced their engagement. Not long after, a now-deleted Instagram comment from Williams made headlines. The comment referred to Allen as a “brain dead CTE athlete,” sparking controversy and speculation. Williams later claimed her account had been hacked, though many online questioned the authenticity of that explanation.
Until now, Steinfeld had stayed silent. But in an interview with Variety, she offered a calm and measured response: “I’m not here for the noise,” she said. “People will always try to create drama around things that don’t belong to them. I’m focused on my relationship, my career, and the people who truly matter.” Her remarks were interpreted by fans as a graceful way of addressing the lingering chatter without escalating it.
When asked more directly if the online attacks from Allen’s past had impacted her, Steinfeld remained composed. “I know who I am, and I know who Josh is. That’s all that matters,” she said, adding, “Real love doesn’t need to explain itself—it just is.” The actress’s words seemed to subtly shut the door on any further drama, while reinforcing the strength of her bond with Allen.
Meanwhile, Brittany Williams has continued posting on social media with a confident tone, recently sharing a photo from New York with the caption, “I like this little life 💕.” While public interest in the triangle continues, it’s clear Steinfeld has no plans to engage in back-and-forths. With her focus on her marriage and upcoming projects, she’s made it clear: she’s moving forward, not looking back.
