Arthur of THE KINGDOM has spoken out following an exposé by a longtime fan known as Jamie detailing their relationship that began on TikTok.
The relationship reportedly started when Jamie, described as decades older, heavily supported Arthur during his live streams by sending gifts. According to details shared by Jamie, Arthur initiated DMs and allegedly discussed other members including Louis in a negative light.
Arthur explained the day after the revelations that he felt misled and that Jamie had made the situation appear worse. He also described threats she allegedly made to maintain control over him.
The idol took responsibility by personally apologizing to fans and addressing claims of discord with his group mates. A fan account on X shared translations of his statements on July 14 2026 noting the nuanced situation and need for closure.
