Sophia La Corte, Halley Kate and Reed Williams TikTok Drama Explained

The drama between New York TikTokers Halley Kate, Sophia La Corte, and Reed Williams continues to brew online. 

The drama first began back in December 2023, when Sophia and Reed sparked dating rumors, one month after he split from Halley in November 2023. Halley later reacted to the news in a slew of since-deleted TikTok videos. In one TikTok, Halley appeared to reference Sophia and Reed’s date, noting her disappointment that her friend considered going on a date with her ex-boyfriend, according to a screen recording shared by a fan.

Following the initial drama, Halley and Reed quietly got back together. However, the drama was reignited after Reed’s appearance on a since-deleted episode of Delusional Diaries in August, where fans noted that he looked disinterested during the conversation with Halley.

Shortly after, Sophie shared her side of the story in a three-part TikTok series titled “how I got canceled by a girl I met maybe three times.” In the video series, she shared that she and Halley were not “close friends” like Halley claimed in her previous TikTok videos and that Reed allegedly planned their date “a week before I happened to run into her at a work event.”

Here’s everything to know about the love triangle drama between Sophia, Halley, and Reed. 

Who are Sophia La Corte, Halley Kate and Reed Williams?

Sophia, Halley, and Reed are all influencers based in New York, with Halley and Sophia known for content focused on fashion, lifestyle, entertainment, and more. 

Halley co-hosts the Delusional Diaries podcast with her best friend Jaz. Each episode typically covers “dating, friendships, hot takes and more.” On the podcast, Halley previously addressed the drama between her and Sophia and said the situation was “hurtful” for her. 

Meanwhile, Sophia hosts the Out of Touch podcast with Brad Mondo, which covers similar topics. She previously addressed the drama on her podcast, saying that she “would never stab one of my friends in the back” and that she and Halley were never close friends.  

When did the drama between Sophia, Halley and Reed start?

The drama first started after Reed and Halley broke up in November 2023. Halley posted about the split on TikTok on Nov. 13 and said she had “truly never felt the pain like this and my heart goes out to anyone who feels anything even slightly similar.” 

On Dec. 2, a Reddit user claimed that they spotted Reed and Sophia on a date together, which sparked rumors that the two began dating only days after she and Halley met at another influencer event. 

As rumors circulated about Sophia and Reed, Halley posted several since-deleted TikTok videos in response. In one of the videos, she called out “homie hopping” and said she “wanted to handle [everything] offline” and had “texted [Sophia] multiple times” but she didn’t respond to her, per screen recordings shared by fans on TikTok.

Halley further addressed the situation on an episode of the Delusional Diaries podcast on Dec. 3 and reiterated the situation between her, Reed and Sophia. 

“This just hurts me really bad because I also don’t want to hurt him in turn by having to make this a public thing,” she explained. “It was shocking just in general that he would be on a date because when we broke up, he did tell me he didn’t think I was the love of his life. But he also [said]…  ‘I need to be single right now [and] I have a lot I need to do on my own.” 

Are Halley and Reed back together?

Halley and Reed ended up getting back together months after the drama unfolded. While the couple did not confirm the exact date they got back together, Halley posted a TikTok with him on April 5 captioned “didn’t you break up!?” She began posting other content with him on her Instagram in May 2024.

The couple were featured in a since-deleted episode of Delusional Diaries in August, where Reed opened up about why he decided to break up with Halley in the first place, per screen recordings of the episode shared on TikTok.

“When we first got together, it was fast-paced and we kind of met and started dating right away,” he explained in the clip. “When it started getting really serious between us, I just needed to take a step back and just do my own thing. I learned a lot about myself at that time… I just realized I’m a better person around her and she makes me happier than anyone else has. And I didn’t want to lose her.”  

The episode sparked backlash with fans urging Halley to leave Reed after his dry responses and interactions with her. Halley posted a TikTok alluding to the situation on Aug. 18 and said “I used to come on and be so excited to check my comments and now I dread opening my phone and reading lies, rumors, & hate.” 

“This app has given me everything good in my life and I’m so grateful for it and all of you!!!” she continued. “But I feel defeated sometimes if I’m being honest.”

What has Sophia said about the drama?

Sophia first addressed the situation on an episode of the Out of Touch podcast on Jan. 25 and said she “would never stab one of my friends in the back” and that “I defend other women.”

Sophia also said that she didn’t know who Halley was and that she “was never friends with her.”

After the Delusional Diaries podcast episode with Halley and Reed, Sophia posted her own response in a three-part TikTok on Aug. 18, where she addressed what happened between her and Reed. 

Sophia once again reiterated that she and Halley were never close friends and claimed that Reed planned their date “a week before I happened to run into [Halley} at a work event.”

“By no means am I laughing at her,” she clarified. “I totally get being upset over a man, I understand how bad it can hurt. I’m just laughing because none of that happened.”

She concluded the posts by saying, “I think I realized [Reed] was maybe not the one for me, and [the relationship] kind of just dwindled.”
