Victoria Mont‘s ex-boyfriend, John Gaines, is speaking out after a photo he took with Kristy Scott sparked dating speculation.
Earlier this week, John Gaines took to Instagram to repost a screenshot of a Bossip article that featured a gym selfie of him and Kristy Scott. In addition, the headline of the article read, “KRISTY SARAH SPARKS SPECULATION SHE’S SMASHING VICTORIA MONT’S EX, JOHN GAINES, TO ‘GYM SESH’ SMITHEREENS WITH THIS SELFIE”
Furthermore, in the caption of the repost, Gaines shared a lengthy message.
“Normally Id ignore something this out-of-pocket, but this is business and I take that seriously. Ive seen the rumors circulating and I want to address them directly..They are false,” he wrote.
From there, Gaines explained that his “training space” has been a “safe” and “platonic” space for women.
“While I understand that social media can create narratives, let me be clear. I am not in the business of mixing professional coaching with anything personal or sexual. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what my brand represents,” he continued in part, adding that he keeps “boundaries” and “integrity” within his fitness training career.
