François Arnaud Re-Follows ‘Heated Rivalry’ Cast After Purge, Shares Defiant Instagram Post

He restored Instagram ties following a mass unfollow prompted by harassment tied to fan ‘shipping’ fights.

Overview

  • Paparazzi photos of Arnaud and co-star Connor Storrie at JFK fueled dating speculation that spiraled into abusive messages and reported death threats.
  • During the backlash, Arnaud slashed his Instagram follows from over 1,000 to roughly 193–213, unfollowing co-stars Hudson Williams, Robbie G. K., Connor Storrie, and creator Jacob Tierney.
  • By Friday, outlets confirmed he had re-followed the cast members and Tierney, reversing the earlier social-media pullback.
  • Arnaud posted a grid featuring Williams and himself flipping off the camera with the caption “Learning from the very best,” which Williams acknowledged with a supportive comment.
  • He recently said on SiriusXM that social media feels overwhelming and joked about deleting Instagram, while representatives for Arnaud and Storrie have not responded to requests for comment.
