Glen Powell's ex-girlfriend, Gigi Paris, has gone absolutely in on the actor in her first comments over the cheating rumours.
Plenty of time might have passed since it all really kicked off, but 2023 saw the very intense speculation that the star was having a bit of a romance with Sydney Sweeney.
Powell and the Euphoria actor were starring together in the rom-com Anyone But You when they were photographed in pretty close, touchy pictures.
And to add fuel to the fire, Paris and Powell ultimately broke up after their three-year relationship.

After the two actors eventually confirmed they had leaned into the whole rumour mill of their romance to help boost the film, Paris has said she was 'shattered' as a result of it all.
Back in the run-up to Anyone About You, there were plenty of pictures of Powell and Sweeney to encourage these rumours, including of them on a boat in swimwear.
But they repeatedly clarified that they were just good friends and eventually admitted they had run with the speculation to promote the rom-com.

Powell told The New York Times: "The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry. That's people wanting what's on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart."
As Sweeney told PEOPLE: "I mean, we sold a rom-com, we were just filming a fun, amazing movie."
Since the very public rumours surrounding her break-up with Powell, the model has kept relatively quiet on the whole thing. But in yesterday's episode of Emma Klipstein's Too Much podcast, Pairs opened up on 'the very public unravelling' of her 'relationship with a certain A-list celebrity ex'.

She didn't directly name Powell or Sweeney but said she 'just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public'.
"Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know? And at the end of the day, it was like, well, work comes first. And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away. What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs." Paris said.
Paris said she was 'shattered' when she decided to walk away from the relationship as she told a story about flying out to Australia (where Anyone But You was being filmed).
However, she alleged she was then told not to visit the set, as she claimed: "He called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit'… And that's when I hung up. And I was like, this mother**ker is done to me.
"That phone call really is what broke me. I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better. But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved."

Well, 'leaning in' to the rumour mill did seem to help with promoting the film as Anyone But You ended up making $220 million (£163 million) worldwide at the box office.
Since then, Sweeney has also confirmed the split from her fiancé, Jonathan Davino.
"I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it," she told The Sunday Times.
And in recent months, Powell's mum, Cyndy, even shut down 'silly' relationship rumours as more pictures of the pair went viral.
They reunited at his sister's wedding, as Cyndy told the Daily Mail: "They're definitely not together."

She went on to say there's 'nothing goes on behind closed doors' and added: "We love Sydney. We've considered her just a really, really good friend.
"We all were together so much, and we haven't seen her in a long time. She's really a friend and we all enjoy her."
