Lana Del Rey’s husband Jeremy Dufrene appears to have personally waded into an unverified cheating rumour circulating on TikTok, responding to the allegation with a denial that was considerably less polished than the average celebrity statement.

An account bearing Dufrene’s name commented beneath a video discussing a blind item that claimed he had been unfaithful to Del Rey. The TikTok itself repeatedly acknowledged that the allegation was unverified, and no evidence supporting the claim was presented in the material supplied.

Dufrene’s apparent response was rather more direct.

“Who is this rumor spreading b!+(h? Yall don’t believe this,” the account commented.

He then insisted that Del Rey knows where he is and claimed the singer had already seen the video — and had an equally uncomplicated assessment of it.

Jeremy Dufrene appears to shut down the cheating allegation

In a second part of the response, the account wrote: “I’m with Lana 24-7 or she knows exactly where or what I’m doing,” before claiming Del Rey herself had called the video “bullsh*t”.

That is the clearest point in the exchange: Dufrene appears to be denying the allegation outright and suggesting that his wife is aware of both the rumour and his response to it.

There is an important distinction, however. The material supplied establishes that an account bearing Dufrene’s name posted the comments; it does not independently verify the ownership of that account. That makes it sensible to describe the response as apparent rather than definitively authenticated.

The underlying cheating claim deserves even more caution. The TikTok discussing it reportedly described the allegation as unverified, and nothing provided alongside it substantiates the accusation.

In other words, the rumour should not quietly acquire the status of fact simply because someone has now apparently denied it.

Lana Del Rey was apparently already aware of the TikTok

Perhaps the most notable part of Dufrene’s apparent response is his claim that Del Rey had already watched the video.

According to the comment, she dismissed it as “bullsh*t”. If accurately attributed, that would suggest the couple were not blindsided by the allegation becoming a topic of discussion online.

There is no separate statement from Del Rey included in the supplied material, however, so her alleged reaction comes entirely through the comment attributed to Dufrene.

That matters when dealing with a story built around a blind item. Anonymous claims can spread rapidly on social platforms, but repetition does not provide verification — even when the rumour becomes large enough for the people involved to notice it.

His final message was considerably less diplomatic

Dufrene’s apparent response did not stop at denying the allegation.

He finished with a line that sounds less like something approved by a publicist and more like something dispatched from several decades before TikTok existed: “Lady, go fly a kite if you know how.”

Whatever else can be said about the response, ambiguity is not among its problems.

The language also helps explain why the comments themselves have become noteworthy. Celebrity rumours routinely attract carefully worded denials, representatives’ statements or no response at all. This apparent reply is striking precisely because it sounds personal, irritated and entirely uninterested in diplomatic phrasing.

The rumour remains exactly that

In my view, the most important part of this story is not the colourful denial but the absence of evidence behind the allegation that prompted it. The material supplied gives no factual basis for concluding that Dufrene was unfaithful, while the TikTok discussing the claim reportedly acknowledged its own lack of verification. Until credible evidence emerges, treating the accusation as anything more than an online rumour would give the claim more weight than the available facts justify.

Dufrene’s apparent comments may ensure the allegation receives more attention, particularly because of how unusually blunt they are. But responding to a rumour does not validate the rumour itself.

For now, the available material leaves two things on very different footing: the cheating allegation remains unsupported, while an account bearing Dufrene’s name appears to have responded to it with a firm denial.

And somewhere between “bullsh*t” and “go fly a kite,” subtlety appears to have been deemed unnecessary.
