Houston-based model Marissa Springer is speaking out after a video of her kissing TikTok star Desmond Scott went viral, just days after news broke of his divorce from influencer Kristy Scott.
The Viral Video
On January 15, TMZ shared footage of Desmond Scott making out with Springer at Sante, a Houston bar. The clip quickly fueled speculation that Desmond had been unfaithful to Kristy, who filed for divorce on December 30 after more than 11 years of marriage. Court records cited infidelity as the reason for the split, shocking the couple’s combined following of over 30 million fans.
Springer’s Response
Springer addressed the controversy in a candid TikTok video posted on January 18. “I’m gonna say this one time and one time only: I’m not the one he cheated with,” she said. Springer explained that she had never met Desmond before that night and that their interaction was spontaneous.
“We were obviously many drinks in. The vibes were there,” she added, dismissing rumors that she had a boyfriend or asked Desmond to buy her a bottle. Springer also condemned the harassment she has received online: “It should never reach the extent of having death threats to you or your family.”
Desmond Scott’s Statement
While Desmond has not directly commented on the viral video, he acknowledged his divorce in a January 10 Instagram Story. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused,” he wrote. He admitted to making “choices that I am not proud of” and asked for privacy as he and Kristy navigate the split. On January 18, Desmond posted his first video since the divorce announcement, showing himself cooking in a kitchen with the caption: “Back in the kitchen this week” set to A$AP Rocky’s Stay Here 4 Life.
Kristy Scott’s Subtle Hints
Kristy has not directly addressed the divorce but has shared posts that fans believe allude to the separation. In one Instagram post on January 14, she posed in a red dress atop a kitchen table with the caption: “same address.” Her recent content has fueled speculation that she is moving forward while maintaining her signature style and confidence.
The Bigger Picture
The viral video and subsequent fallout highlight the challenges of navigating public relationships in the age of social media. With millions of followers invested in their story, both Desmond and Kristy face intense scrutiny as they move into separate chapters of their lives. Springer’s statement adds another layer to the unfolding drama, reminding fans that not everything seen online reflects the full truth.
