AN influencer has been forced to deny that Tommy Fury is the father of her baby.
Lissie Rhodes welcomed her baby last week and has been plagued with accusations.
She became the subject of unfounded speculation Tommy fathered her child after he was dramatically dumped by Molly-Mae Hague and The Sun today revealed Tommy had cheated.
Breaking her silence on the matter, Lissie, who is in a happy relationship, commented beneath a recent TikTok video she’d shared of her bump, writing: “Tommy Fury is not my baby’s dad.”
Lissie also posted a separate photo on her Instagram stories while holding her baby, born three days ago, with a man lying beside her.
She wrote: “Happy family,” beside the photo while cuddling her newborn baby in bed.
Influencer Lissie’s dad Ryan, who is a boxing pal of Tommy’s dad John Fury, also slammed the cruel internet rumours.
He appeared in a video on his Instagram stories, and said: “I can’t believe what I’m reading. I can’t believe it. The speculation, the hearsay, guys Lissie and Barry and Shakur are so happy, so happy.
“We’ve got a life, you need to get one.”
After Molly’s statement was posted yesterday, initial reactions from their fans indicate that most believe Tommy was “at fault.”
Molly, 25, sent shockwaves through social media when she announced they’d split after five years together.
She ended her engagement with Tommy weeks after her sister got married.
And fans have picked apart her full statement Molly in which she said the breakdown of their relationship was “extremely upsetting”.
Molly, who gushed about their engagement just three weeks ago, also admitted the split came as a shock and she hadn’t expected it to end, “especially not this way.”Writing on X after reading news of their split, one said: “Seriously wishing Molly Mae and her daughter all the best, and yess Tommy is 100% to blame I bet. Team Molly all day.”
A second said: “Molly Mae and Tommy Fury broke up omg… I know that man did something.”One more echoed: “What did Tommy do? I know Molly would go to war for that man!?”
Another fan said: “Molly Mae and Tommy are over??? I’m just going to blame Tommy right now. i can’ttttttttt.”
The YouTube star’s statement read: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this,” Molly-Mae said, just five weeks after celebrating half a decade together.
“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.
“I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter.
“Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”
Molly-Mae added: “I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.
“You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all.
“Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks, please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time.
“I’ll be back when it feels right.
