Mads Lewis' 'Call Her Daddy' Quotes on Jaden, Nessa TikTok Drama

The TikTok tea is hot! Mads Lewis did not hold back when it came to sharing her side of the ongoing internet drama surrounding her ex-boyfriend Jaden Hossler and fellow influencer Nessa Barrett.

The 18-year-old social media star appeared on a tear-filled episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast on Wednesday, April 14, and talked to host Alexandra Cooper about the moment she decided to post the now-viral and since-deleted TikTok video set to Taylor Swift‘s “Better Than Revenge,” which fueled rumors that Jaden and Nessa were more than friends.

“I posted it as a joke. Yeah, I was mad. I still posted that video as a joke,” she explained. “Sabotage for me didn’t mean cheat. Sabotage for me didn’t mean Nessa got with Jaden. Sabotage literally meant that you were my best friend and you do that. It’s kind of worse. I wish you would have gotten with him.”

TikTok users first started to wonder if something romantic was going on between Jaden and Nessa after they collaborated on the song “La Di Die” together, which was released in February 2021. Nearly one month later, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Mads, who was dating Jaden at the time, deleted every photo with her boyfriend off Instagram and appeared to unfollow both him and Nessa.

According to Mads, on the day she and the “Angels & Demons” musician split, he was on a trip with Nessa and a few friends. The budding actress, who had broken her phone, was using Jaden’s iPad when she got a “gut feeling” that something was going down between him and Nessa. Upon reading his messages, Mads claimed she discovered voice notes from Jaden’s manager who said there were mutual feelings between him and Nessa. After her discovery, the influencer called her then-boyfriend to get the “truth.”

“He told me he doesn’t like me anymore, which I believed him because we just weren’t happy,” she said on the podcast episode of their split, noting that Jaden confirmed the voice messages. “We weren’t healthy and we weren’t making each other happy … that was why we broke up.”

Following their split, the public fallout began. Nessa, for her part, was dating fellow TikTok star Josh Richards at the time. Per Mads, he was in the dark about everything that was going on. She claimed that Jaden asked her not to tell Josh about the voice recordings she found. Once Mads posted her TikTok video, Josh was clued into the entire situation and went on his own podcast — Barstool Sports’ “BFFs” — to say he “sad” about what had happened. At the time, the host confirmed he and Nessa were not together and said Mads uploaded the clip because “exes do crazy ass s–t,” a comment which she has since acknowledged.

“Am I thankful that I to say my side right now? Yes, because I’m not crazy,” Mads explained.

The Reason Behind the TikTok Video

“No body knows the whole story … I made myself look f–king crazy as s–t for posting that TikTok but I was mad,” she said. “I had every right to f–king post that … My intentions weren’t to hurt Josh. My intentions weren’t to hurt Jaden. My intentions were to [say] f–k you Nessa. She used to be my best friend we lived together.”

She continued, “I did release that video of that edit, and I never realized me posting that would be hurting Josh, but I was because that is literally his ex-girlfriend so I’m an idiot for posting it.”

Her Apology to Josh

“I just want to say a big apology to Josh. I f–king love Josh so f–king much. He’s literally one of my best friends I’ve known him for three years, almost,” the influencer explained. “I went on tour with him and I got to know him over the three years. I got to see how much he loved Nessa and he got to see how much I loved Jaden.”

Friendship With Nessa and the July 2020 Drama

Things got rocky between the besties in summer 2020, according to Mads. “I love her to f–king death. She was my best friend. We lived with each other for about three months, all we had was each other,” the TikTok star said.

In July, Mads claimed she asked her then-best friend if they could attend a party at the Hype House together, Nessa allegedly replied, “Nobody wants you here. Nobody likes you.” After hearing that, Mads told Jaden that Nessa had gotten with fellow TikTok star and musician Chase Hudson, which started its own controversy when it got back to Josh. While discussing the past, Mads apologized to listeners for bringing it up the now-resolved drama and claimed that Nessa wanted her to take the blame for kissing Chase.

Months after their summer falling out Mads and Nessa started to become friends again, “then she started being rude to me and everybody in the house,” the influencer said. Now where do they stand? Mads said she texted Nessa “f–k you” when the news about her and Jaden first broke.

Where She Stands With Jaden

Amid all the drama, Mads still has strong feelings for her ex. “Love the kid. I wish him the absolute f–king best,” she said. “No, he did not cheat on me. He did not get with Nessa. That’s what he said, that’s what I’m gonna believe. He did not get with her at all. He said he would never do that to Josh.”

She added, “I love Jaden. I wish him the absolute f–king best. I want him happy so if him being happy is being with Nessa, be with f–king Nessa.”
