Hudson Williams's girlfriend says Heated Rivalry fans crossing 'huge boundary' | CBC News

Larson, a Vancouver tattoo artist, says fans are booking appointments to ask 'hugely uncomfortable questions'

Hudson Williams's girlfriend, Katelyn Larson, is drawing a line with Heated Rivalry fans.

Larson, a Vancouver-based tattoo artist, made a rare statement about her relationship with the show's co-star, calling out fans for their parasocial behaviour.

"I didn't ever want to have to say anything about this, but a couple people have crossed some boundaries recently so i've gotta say something real quick," she wrote in a Sept. 22 Instagram story.

The two have been in a relationship for a number of years, before Williams shot to superstardom, alongside Connor Storrie, for his breakout role as Shane Hollander in the hit Crave series.

"Obviously a lot of you have found the [tattoo] studio because of a certain show and that's more than okay!" she said. Larson added that if people are following her or other artists because of a genuine admiration of their art or a desire to get tattoos, they can "go right ahead" and shouldn't "feel weird about that."

But Larson says some fans have been booking appointments at her shop solely to ask "hugely uncomfortable" questions about herself and Williams. 

"Booking an appointment with me or anyone else purely because of the connection to the show crosses a huge boundary. Showing up to your appointment and asking my coworkers any sort of questions about myself or about hudson is hugely uncomfortable for everyone. With peace and love, please stop."

Despite Williams's meteoric fame, the couple has largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, something Williams has made clear in previous interviews.
