Kayla From Too Hot To Handle Just Dropped Receipts About Seb & Micah

As anyone who’s gotten sucked into the TikTok wormhole of the Netflix dating show universe knows, the juiciest drama happens off the TV screen. The latest scandal is probably the wildest yet... and the most confusing. If you’ve been trying to figure out where things went wrong for Too Hot To Handle stars Seb Melrose and Kayla Richart (and how Love Is Blind’s Micah Lussier is involved in the breakup), here’s everything you need to know.

Although Seb and Kayla did break up after Season 4 of Too Hot To Handle, they were able to work things out and quickly rekindled their romance. The two have been going strong ever since... until recently. During New York Fashion Week in early September, Kayla began posting some shady TikToks that strongly suggested she and Seb were facing issues.

Then, Seb posted a video explaining his side of what happened, which brought Micah into the equation. He said he set up a meeting with Micah’s team to attend Fashion Week events together. Although their relationship remained “strictly platonic,” Seb revealed that Kayla didn’t react well to photos of the two together. He was surprised to find out she’d broken up with him over it: “I’m disappointed to see that Kayla, instead of reaching out to me to find out the truth, she decided to go straight to the internet and stir a lot of sh*t.”

For her part, Kayla accused Seb of trying to “humiliate, disrespect, and cross boundaries online, publicly for three days.” She implied there was more to the drama than has been revealed, but stated she was withholding certain details at the moment, adding “I tried voice my concerns privately to the people involved but was ignored.”

Then, Micah dropped her own lengthy video to tell her side of the story. Her claims mostly mirrored Seb’s, confirming that he did meet with her team and they agreed to collaborate professionally on NYFW appearances. However, she also conceded to Kayla that some of the photos she posted with Seb may have toed the line of appropriateness, particularly one where it appeared “he was looking at [her] butt.”

The pic she’s referring to is seemingly the last shot in her Fashion WeeK photo dump, in which Seb is walking behind Micah with his eyes downwards.

Finally, Kayla aired the whole situation out in a series of TikToks on Sept. 18.

She revealed her issues with Seb began prior to Fashion Week, when he posted a romantic-looking picture in Paris with another woman, and discussed starting a podcast about dating with another woman. She shared text messages in which she told Seb these were boundaries he can’t cross, specifically asking him to not post romantic-looking photos with other women.

It was because of this previous conversation that Kayla was so upset by all the photos of Seb and Micah together at Fashion Week, she said. She even isolated the audio from one IG video of a noisy club, in which it sounds like Seb is telling Micah, “You look sexy as f*ck. You like that?” And she shared a screenshot of a photo Seb had shared posing with his face next to another woman’s feet.

Kayla ended the series by stating she would not be talking about the situation anymore... but that doesn’t mean Seb or Micah won’t have their own responses.
