In the replies and interactions, hundreds of people have criticized Orlando for apparently being \u201cokay with his new gf mocking the mother of his child,\u201d calling the whole thing \u201codd<\/a>\u201d and \u201cweird<\/a>.\u201d \u201cWhat an asshole move,\u201d someone wrote<\/a>. \u201cAnd to the new gf, do whatever you want with your new relationship but to insult your ex\u2019s former partner is just tacky behaviour.\u201d\"I<\/p>\n

But, amid all the chatter, we need to take a look at the facts here. Firstly, the woman in the photos is actor Rachel Lynn Matthews<\/a>. Is she dressed as Katy? Yes, it would seem that way<\/a>. But is she Orlando\u2019s new girlfriend? No, not even close.\"Person<\/p>\n

To set the record straight, it would seem that the two actors don\u2019t even know each other very well. An uncropped version of the original photo of Rachel and Orlando reveals that she posted it with a light-hearted caption, indicating that it was more of an exciting chance encounter between the two than a cute couple’s picture.\"TwoSo, is it still a bit odd that Orlando posed for a picture with someone dressed as his recent ex? Probably, yes. But who knows what the conversation actually sounded like? Maybe he thought Rachel was dressed as Lauren S\u00e1nchez Bezos? Your guess is as good as mine.\"Two<\/p>\n

The worst part of it is that Rachel\u2019s Instagram comments are now being flooded with hate comments from Katy\u2019s fans, many of whom probably fell for the viral rumor and believe that she\u2019s actually Orlando\u2019s new girlfriend. At least we can say that we know the truth!<\/p>\n

Katy’s not commented on this, but we’ll be sure to let you know if she does. I’d genuinely be a bit flattered.<\/p>\n
