LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brittany Williams, Josh Allen's ex-girlfriend has made a statement following a controversial comment regarding the Buffalo Bills quarterback that appeared on her Instagram account.

“My accounts have been hacked several times tonight,” Brittany Williams made allegations on her Instagram Story last Friday. “Trying to get it resolved. If anyone has any tips please Imk 🙏🏻🥹.”

The post surfaced following fans circulating screenshots where she referred to Allen, 28, as a "brain dead CTE athlete" on Instagram, which came shortly after the announcement of his engagement to Steinfeld on Friday, Page Six reports.

Williams' reported comment came as a retort to someone mocking her personal love life, stating, “Haven’t found the next pro athlete yet????”
