Three Sides, No Winners
I feel like the whole thing has become a bit out of control and has drifted slightly away from the original situation. H's team, K and H all seem to want different things from this, but it all turned into a comedy in the end 🤷🏻♀️
Disclaimer: All speculation, NO evidence, just for laugh
-------- Team --------
They want a straight-man narrative, probably because H is a POC, played the bottom, is Canadian, or whatever combination of reasons which is not the main topic of discussion here. For the team, K was basically a readymade option, which saved them a lot of time and effort. I doubt if they even approached H or K with a proper plan of 'bearding' or whatever narrative in their brain at first. They probably just accepted and started using the narrative around Dec/Jan, after K had already been leaked. I genuinely don't know why they're so committed to pushing the old-fashioned conservative heterosexual narrative, but that does seem to be their ultimate goal.
I think it might mainly be his Canadian team or somewhere there, because one of H's CAA agent is a married gay man and the other has another bisexual client who literally just came out. H has also become quite close to C's team since they met, and that team is full of gay men as well 🤣
I really can't stand this sort of old-fashioned, narrow-minded and homophobic narrative from the last century. We're no longer in the age of newspapers. Do you really think we will just believe them because of a couple of photos? OMG We've got our own eyes of course we can tell what they're thinking and doing. -------- K --------
I think their relationship was relatively okay during the first couple of years, but there were probably more conflicts and arguments towards the end if assuming the Van anon is legit. They probably called it ❌ at some point in 2025 but remained friends afterwards. They went to a concert with Sam in Aug, and she did the matching tattoo for H and C in Sept. I also believe H went to her house for Xmas? They share quite a few mutual friends so it's not exactly a situation where they could simply block each other and cut all ties.
When HR started being promoted, I think it was initially a mixture of fans digging up her account and discovering her connection to H and some jealousy on her part over his sudden success? It's quite complicated because so many things blew up within such a short space of time. She also vaguely posted something about HR in her IG story if I remember correctly? Then probably mostly likely K and her friends decided to leak that Twilight video on TT (just a personal guess as that video was from girl C).
Her position and that of her friends are quite controversial here. They knew H and K had broken up and that it was very unlikely they would ever get back together, but they still wanted to emphasise that 'couple' narrative, whether for fame influence money or whatever else. K and her friends could simply have said, 'Yes, we were together, but we’re not together any more and we're still friends.' But they didn't lol.
Then she was approached to get involved in the heterosexual narrative and of course she agreed. Free fame luxury trips money whatever and perhaps still a tiny bit of hope that he might come back to her lol.
Then K realised that H didn't actually want to play this game. Before the Met, things still seemed okay? not brilliant but definitely not terrible either. His attitude changed significantly after the Met and the infamous coach meeting though. She now seems extremely conflicted about the entire situation. She doesn't appear to get on particularly well with his new friends except perhaps ...Alex? H completely ignored her in a way that looked quite bad and she was also seemingly 'forced' to take some pictures with him, only for him to post the ugliest one of her on his IG. I'm genuinely curious about how she feels at the moment.
-------- H finally!! --------
He knows he needs a branding strategy and a public narrative distinct from C's. He probably also understood that, at that particular moment in Dec/Jan, presenting a heterosexual story was the safest option at that moment. FC/C's ex/dumping K would not have looked good either.
He wasn't completely happy about it of course, but he went along with it in the most rebellious way possible like drawing hearts, leaving comments, mentioning C 🤣
I believe the Met was the beginning of the chaos, or, more specifically, the infamous sink pic. This is only my opinion, but I don't think he posted 'stop RPF' entirely of his own accord. He could simply have deleted the picture, we were more than happy with the bathroom couple photo (alone)! But he didn't. Even after all, he deleted everything else from Threads instead of deleting that picture. It gives the same energy as unfollowing everyone just so you can unfollow one particular person.
His team was probably furious about it. If I remember correctly, that was also when loads of articles with titles like 'Why HudCon Are Besties' and 'A Look at HudCon’s Friendship' suddenly started appearing.
The team then probably pushed K into the CSA and PFW appearances, which made H even more angry and annoyed. If we remember DM mentioned he will have a holiday break in Jul to make some progress with their relationship. He might partially blame K for pushing the narrative, which is, in a way, not completely incorrect? None of this would have happened if she hadn't been leaked in the first place.
------- Of course C here to wrap up--------
I definitely believe C knows about all of this sh*t and is solely 100% supporting H through it. I wouldn't necessarily call it H 'sacrificing himself' to hide the HudCon relationship, but both boys clearly know that they were always going to have to deal with this kind of thing at some point in their careers. Luckily, they have each other and they both seem incredibly supportive and understanding. We've seen them being each other's emotional support many times. 😭
-------- What's next? --------
If they wanna continue this narrative, I will laugh out immediately. I won't give any new ideas on how to push this narrative because I wanna see more jokes coming out 👀
Tbh the simplest approach is not simply stop talking about it. Stop publishing this kind of homophobic and biphobic rubbish in magazines, and just let the whole circus die down gradually.
I’m genuinely so tired of this stale, homophobic, biphobic, straightbloke narrative. I have no idea how long they plan to keep flogging it, but it's painfully obvious that nobody is buying it in this at all 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
No fan wants to watch a 'couple' who seemingly can't stand each other attempting to kiss on a beach (and not even managing to actually kiss🤣). Please STOP this constant emphasis on his sexuality and private life. Literally nobody cares. The harder you push it, the more people are going to push back out of this narrative.
