Please bear with me because I think this shit makes sense. If you don't agree, please feel free to say anything you want. I'm just here to share what I think. Now let's start.
People who have been following this madness between these two individuals can agree that we've all been thinking how this could be PR. I'm gonna get into everything that lowkey makes sense.
I've said this before on past posts, but I truly think that at the BEGINNING of their little hookup, it wasn't meant to be known by ANYONE. But obviously the break in happened, and it shed A LOT of light on the situation. If it was PR from the beginning, we would've seen them a lot more. It wouldn't have been a handful of people saying that they're secretly hooking up and whatnot. It would've been EVERYWHERE. She would've been seen at games and etc.
Now moving into when the break in happened, it obviously drove a lot of eyes to the situation, especially people who support Joe. When seeing things of Olivia Ponton being there and not his ex, people were confused and did some digging on OP. Which clearly drove a lot of people to look into HER socials which caused her numbers to sky rocket.
From my knowledge, people have said that both Joe and Olivia are under the same PR management or something along those lines. Now if you worked in PR and you saw your client gain this much attention, you'd want them to shed more of whatever they have going on with whoever they're linked to. Reading from Joe's fanbase, it sounds like dude would never do that and would never gain anything from that. But he does gain something.
I've seen past things about Joe and tbh, no one really knew him outside of football, which I think he was fine with before his team probably talked to him to maybe give in more. Which I think that's when he started to really get into fashion and start that whole thing. But again, he wasn't really relevant because tbh dude hasn't been to the playoffs in years and he only went to the Super Bowl once and hasn't made it back there. For a QB to stay relevant outside of football, they have to brainstorm what else they can do to stay relevant to the media.
Which brings me back to Olivia. Olivia is known to be controversial. Now when a QB that is favorited and put on such a pedestal starts getting linked to someone like that, it causes many people to want to know MORE & TUNE IN. Once the break in happened, Olivia seemed off and people were speculating that they had broken up, but then fast forward to July of 2025, they were papped out with friends and then him walking with her to her apartment. Which I did some digging and found out that the Netflix doc of NFL QB's came out the SAME day as those photos were released. I don't think that's a coincidence at ALL. When this happened, guess what it did, it caused more traction to his season on the Netflix doc and it caused more traction to her social media accounts.
After this happened, more articles were being written. But after, it was completely silent. Crickets. There was no noise and no traction really for media outlets. Then fast forward to this offseason. There was nothing until the oscars afterparty. I do find it a little weird how this offseason they got seen more. But in some circumstances of when they were getting papped, it was HELLA suspicious.
Getting papped outside of a screening for Off Campus. It would've been understandable if their were pap pics of the cast leaving and heading to the after party, but no, it was just them two getting papped. Who in the world would've known they were there? Only them, and only their teams. Then getting photographed outside of her best friends girlfriends home. Who in the world would've possibly known they were going to be there? Themselves of course, and even the people that were there. They could've obviously let their teams in on where they were going that day, but I personally think it was either them or their friends.
Plus anytime that they're photographed together, they look uncomfortable, and there's no energy that gives off that they're together. They always seem embarrassed, they don't seem close, and it just looks like how you would treat someone you've been hooking up with occasionally. Anytime that there are candid photos taken of them, it doesn't give off anything.
My only thought of what Joe gets out of this is to push his name more in the media. Because like I said, his team has probably told him that he needs to give in a little and make a name for himself outside of football, which I think has been working. Do I think it's landing him more jobs? NO. Do I think it's driving more people to his social platforms? YES. Same answers for Olivia too.
One last thing that I want to add, I do think that some people from inside their groups are in on calling the paps or even taking videos or photos of them that makes it look like some random person is taking them. I'm not saying this as a fact, but I am saying this as a possibility. Everything is connected and I think it both favors them in someway.
