With just over a week left until Election Day, a startling rumor circulated online suggesting a scandalous twist for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The buzz began when right-wing influencer Matt Wallace took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, alleging that a supposed intimate tape involving Harris and former talk show host Montel Williams was being “shopped around” for release.

Wallace speculated that this rumored footage, if real, could pose a last-minute threat to Harris’s campaign which has received Eminem’s endorsement.
Wallace, known for his polarizing content, claimed that the alleged tape could “break the internet” and hinted that it could significantly impact the electoral race in its final stretch.
His post added that the information had come from a high-profile source—a tech CEO who allegedly informed him of the tape’s existence.
Almost immediately, the claim ignited widespread conversations online, with responses ranging from shock and disbelief to staunch defenses of Harris and Williams.

The narrative, however, took a sharp turn as Williams, a veteran and an award-winning talk show host, directly responded, calling out Wallace’s speculation in no uncertain terms.
Emphasizing the absence of such tape, Williams called on the public to see the allegations for what they were—attempts to stir baseless controversy at a critical juncture in the election.
His response suggested that Harris’s recent polling momentum could fuel such unfounded attacks from opponents desperate to derail her success.
This is not the first time Williams and Harris have found their past relationship under scrutiny. The two dated briefly in the early 2000s, a connection that has resurfaced periodically in the media spotlight. Williams has previously taken to social media to address these past speculations, reminding audiences that the relationship was brief, occurred two decades ago, and happened when both were single.
