Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn have fueled romance rumors after they were spotted on a date in London.
The singer and the ‘Stranger Things’ actor are said to have shown a lot of PDA at the Coach and Horses pub in London’s Soho, two years after the “Paint the Town Red” hitmaker declared an interest in the star.
“It very much looked like they were together. They were acting like a couple. He had his arm around her, then she put her arm around him. He kissed her on the head at one point. It was just them together, deep in conversation for ages. She was puffing on a vape and looked really happy.” an eyewitness told The Sun‘s “Bizarre” column.
In July 2022, Quinn’s “Stranger Things” co-star Noah Schnapp revealed Cat had asked him to set her up with Quinn.
“Noah can you tell Joseph to [hit me up] … wait no. Does he have a gf [girlfriend]?” Schnapp shared a screenshot of his chat with Cat chat on TikTok.
“LMAOO, slide into his DMs,” the actor responded.
“Doesn’t have a DM to slide in,” Cat said, insisting she was struggling to find his social media pages.
“Right here, ma’am,” Schnapp responded. He sent a link of one of Quinn’s pages to Cat.
However, things turned sour as she later took to Instagram to brand Schnapp — who was 17 at the time — a “weasel” in a foul-mouthed rant, after he shared their private messages.
” I think that … to be fair, let’s try to be chill about it. Like Noah is a kid, but I don’t even know how old he is, but he can’t be over – like there’s no way he’s over 21. But when you’re that young, you make mistakes,” part of Cat’s message read.
Cat then went on to call the actor — who plays Will Byers in the Netflix show — a “snake” because, she insisted, she wasn’t comfortable with the way he shared her private messages publicly.
“I’m not saying that that encapsulates his entire personality — like, I don’t imagine Noah that way. Maybe he is, like, a whole snake. But I didn’t see him that way. I made an assumption that he was gonna be chill about it, and he went and shared information that I didn’t feel comfortable with him sharing,” she added.
Schnapp later admitted he had said sorry to Cat after he shared their private messages.
“Yeah, I mean, look, I’m super unserious on social media and pretty goofy, so I posted that not thinking too much of it, but obviously it hurt her feelings,” the actor told Variety. “So, as I should, I apologized, and she was totally OK with it, and was, like, ‘I’m sorry how I reacted.’
“It was all good. I love her. I’m like the biggest fan of her music, and I told her that. I was, like, you’re literally my role model. It’s all good. People make such a big deal out of everything when it’s on the internet, but, like, in reality, it’s like a two-minute thing,” he added.
