In the now-deleted story, Sidney Starr claimed that she and the ‘Family Matters’ star Darius McCrary have been dating since February.
Rumors of the alleged romance first began circulating after Starr posted a photo and some behind-the-scenes footage from a recent photoshoot the two did together. In her caption, she wrote,

He went on to call out critics before alluding to being engaged.
“I will say this, what are we in high school? You gonna tell me who I can be friends with, who I can’t hangout with? I am a grown man, I’m really five years away from 50 so if I wasn’t with my mama I would really be saying this a whole other way but I am with my mama. Stop running with these rumors.”
“And I think that my fiancée would really have something different to say. That’s what y’all should really be focusing on, where that ring is.”
In addition to denying the claims, Darius McCrary’s reps, who previously represented Sidney Starr, also say this is her ‘desperate’ attempt to get back on reality television. In a statement to The Shade Room, the rep said,
“McCrary has kept an amicable friendship with Starr, who has been persistent with creating fake storylines and relationships with our client in a sad attempt to get back on ‘Love & Hip Hop: New York.”
Starr responded with a different photo of her and McCrary on her IG story with the caption,
“I’m always the villain huh [laughing Emoji] wtf!”
