Jodie Comer is speaking out in response to “false information” that spread on the internet this year about her boyfriend James Burke.
For those that don’t know, James is a 26-year-old lacrosse player from Massachusetts and earlier this year, screenshots from his alleged Instagram page appeared to show that he followed President Trump.
Lots of tweets online claimed that James is also a registered Republican and supporter of Trump, which launched the #JodieComerIsOverParty trend on Twitter.
“All this false information came out about him, and people just ridiculed him and me and my family. People took these tweets as truth. That was the biggest time my life has been kind of blown up and publicized in that way,” Jodie said in a new interview with Porter. “A lot of people read things and they go, ‘Wow, she’s that, she’s this type of person.’ And I’m like, OK, I can spend my life and my energy trying to convince people otherwise, or I can go, ‘I know who I am, I know my truth and that’s good enough for me.’”
Jodie also opened up about dating someone who isn’t famous.
She said, “It’s important for my family and having a boyfriend who isn’t in the public eye; it can be very strange and surreal. I’m very cautious of what I bring into my family’s life; it’s a safety thing.”
Back in June, a famous singer responded to rumors that he was dating Jodie.
