A beach outing involving WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan unexpectedly turned into a social media firestorm after a video of her and boyfriend Landon Hardwick went viral on July 26.
The footage, filmed at St. Pete Beach in Florida, showed the couple spending time together, with Hardwick chasing Morgan across the sand as the moment was captured for social media. What began as an innocent clip, however, quickly became the center of controversy after a fan account used the video to launch a political attack.
The post labeled Hardwick as Morgan’s “MAGA boyfriend” and referenced alleged connections between his family and conversion therapy through his mother’s youth ministry. The account wrote,
“New video of Liv Morgan running around St. Pete’s beach with her MAGA boyfriend, Landon Hardwick. 💩 🏖️
And how ADORABLE that Landon is chasing Liv so that he can practice CATCHING the gays who try to run away from conversion therapy!! 😍🥰❤️❤️ #CoupleGoals”
Fans then chimed in, as you can see below:
