Becky G is a 20-something singer and actress. I didn’t know much about her until today, but a couple of her songs are good. Becky has been dating a soccer player named Sebastian Lletget since 2016 and they announced their engagement in December. But, an anonymous person on Instagram posted a message directed at Becky, saying that Sebastian cheated in February and sharing DMs and voice messages that were allegedly from him. And now Sebastian issued an oddly specific apology, so maybe not so alleged after all.
Becky G hit the red carpet solo at the iHeartRadio Music Awards Monday after her fiancé Sebastian Lletget apologized for “disrespecting” her.
The singer arrived at the awards in a sexy, figure-hugging black dress with cheetah print mesh overlay.
She later accepted the best Latin pop/Reggaeton song of the year award from presenter Nicole Scherzinger for her hit “Mamiii.”
Becky G posted about her win on Instagram, captioning photos from the night, “No words but thank you.”
Her iHeartRadio win came the same day Lletget, a midfielder for the professional soccer club FC Dallas, shared a lengthy statement on Instagram in response to accusations of cheating on Becky G. Social media posts circulated online last week alleging the soccer player’s infidelity.
“When I reflect on the past seven years of my life, I know in my heart that I couldn’t have achieved a lot of my personal and professional growth, let alone navigate the challenges in my life without the love and support of Becky by my side,” Lletget wrote. “Over the last several weeks, during a moment I regret deeply, a 10-minute lapse in judgment resulted in an extortion plot.”
Lletget said that while the alleged extortion plot has become “a public social media spectacle filled with more lies than any truth,” the incident has been a “wake-up call” for the 30-year-old.
“I can’t keep running from my demons,” Lletget wrote, adding that he’s been struggling with “personal trauma and acute anxiety.” “I know that any actions made that put us here should have never happened to begin with.”
USA TODAY has reached out to Becky G’s representatives for comment.
Lletget also revealed in the post that he’s committed himself to “a mental wellness program to work on the parts of me that deeply need healing.” He dedicated the final part of his statement as an apology to Becky G.
“To Becky, you have been the light of my life, my strength, who has always shown me unconditional love,” Lletget wrote. “Instead of honoring that love every day, I have done the opposite, hurting you, and disrespecting the one person I love more than anything. I am so sorry and know I have to do whatever it takes to earn back the trust and love you deserve.”
A “10-minute lapse in judgement” and “more lies than truth” and Sebastian takes pains to say that he never met the person in real life. That kind of makes it sound like the DMs and voice messages are real. He also calls it an “extortion plot,” so perhaps the person was trying (and failed) to get money out of him. His apology is decent, especially as it pertains to Becky, but I was a bit perplexed by the turn to discussion about his anger issues. Anyway, even if he didn’t physically cheat, it sucks and it’s embarrassing for Becky G. No one wants to be the center of rumors like that. Their current status is unclear, but she did attend the iHeartRadio Music Awards alone and without her ring.
I know Becky G because she did a song with one of the BTS members (J-Hope).
Because of that, I started looking into her music and it’s really good.
She also seems like a lovely person (she is very popular in the BTS fandom).
They’re not even married yet, so I don’t think this bodes well. Hope things will work out for her, whatever her decision might be.
Same. The song is “Chicken Noodle Soup” and it’s an absolute delight. Yes, ARMY loves her because she’s been lovely to our Hobi.
Dump him Becky. You dodged a bullet.
Yeah, she can do so much better.
Remember how she was cheered by Army at the AMA when she came over to hug Hobi? One of my favorite moments from that award show.
Hope they will do another project again.
Also, we’re talking about BTS here and I only now see that Peridot kindly made a link to Jungkook’s Calvin Klein photos. He looks amazing there.
Who is your bias?
Where is Kookie!? I don’t see it.
My bias is SUGA/Yoongi. He is my spirit animal. I even named my cat after him. 😛
Kookies is in the featured links at the bottom of the article 😀
Enjoy the pictures.
A very good choice for bias and a perfect name for a cat, seeing how he is actually a cat himself.
My biases are Hobi and Jimin, but I love them all.
Am listening to Jimin’s album as I type this, but will do a spin of CNS after that.
And that groups fan base don’t play when someone is slighted. Dude better lock down his social media. Just sayin.
@Tiffany
Haha, yes Army will come for him and he should be scared.
V is my bias and this site has never had enough BTS content!
@Normades, I agree.
I love this site, but miss seeing BTS content here.
Yep, all I really know about Becky G is Chicken Noodle Soup and how supportive she is of Hobi…but that means I’m rooting for her!
These are relationship red flags for sure, Becky. I hope you get out safely and thrive. I’m wishing you the best!
Same. The footage of Jimin in the background when Becky greeted Hobi at Lollapalooza? Anyone? HILARIOUS. Hobi likes her, Army was ready to fight for her.
I looked back at it 🙂
Hobi looks more amazing by the year. I love his friendship with Becky G.
She is young, independently successful, and beautiful. She should move on and find someone who can be faithful, this guy couldn’t even wait until they were married to start sexting some rando.
I have never ever heard of anyone who timed their lapses of judgement in minutes before. That is a fascinating apology just based on that alone. He definitely cheated: emotional cheating is still cheating, and he seems to emphasize his lack of physically having cheated just a little too much. Up to her, but I would leave.
Did he just flirt with this woman. Did he specifically ask for sex? If he didn’t actually ever meet her then why was he doing any of this. Was she a prostitute and he was trying to set up meeting her? Again this doesn’t make any sense. Even the ten minutes. But I guess they could look at his phone to get the time.
Run Becky and don’t look back. It hurts for sure but you dodge a bullet.
He cheated AFTER their public engagement and all their years together and then he tries to pin it on a ‘10 mins lapse’ of judgement and using ‘mental wellness’ and ‘anger issues’ as excuses to ask for sympathy when clearly it’s ALL him still that did what he did. Like if he didn’t entertain the opportunity to cheat, it wouldn’t have been an extortion plot or whatever he is making it out to be.
Also this is just the one that became public. What awful luck for him that the one time, the only 10 minutes he ever did anything, ended up becoming public knowledge!
Becky is cute as a button and from the footage I have seen of her is lovely to boot.
Her stock definitely rose after her BTS collaboration, as it should have bc she does have talent.
She would be better off once she losing about 150lbs of stupid.
Yeah, I didn’t know here before the collab, but now I think she’s lovely.
One of my favorite famous people 🙂
No idea who either of them are, but would like to slap him into the middle of next week:
“To Becky, you have been the light of my life, my strength, who has always shown me unconditional love,” Lletget wrote. “Instead of honoring that love every day, I have done the opposite, hurting you, and disrespecting the one person I love more than anything. I am so sorry blah blah blah…”
I am so tired of me who claim to worship the ground their woman walk on, yet can so easily trash that for a bit extra rumpy-pumpy, followed by a social media apology using those words_ How about you don’t do the wrong thing in the first place? 😡🤬
I’m with you!! A mere “ 10 minute lapse of judgement” my ass!! If you have that many issues, you have more than certain exceeded a “10 minute” time line.
LMAO, a public apology??? Manipulative. She’s young, beautiful, talented and can do better. Drop him immediately!!!
I gotta say: anytime someone says a woman must feel “embarrassed” by her partner’s cheating, I feel pretty adamantly SHE has nothing to be embarrassed about. If a guy cheats on his partner, it’s HIS character flaw, not her lack of desirability or worth. A worthwhile guy resolves any issues or discontent with his partner, not a third party. I’d be very angry if my husband cheated on me, but embarrassed? Absolutely not. We are not the jerks in this situation!!
AMEN to this!
A ten-minute lapse of judgment is not as innocent as it seems. It actually sounds like quickie sex to me. Think of all the destructive acts a person can perform in 10 minutes (murder included) and it’s an absolutely bullshit excuse. It’s not the time it took you to do it, but seriousness of what you did. She’s beautiful and he’s hot. This will not seriously damage either of them, except that she’s wasted 6 years of her life on a man she can no longer trust. It’s life. She’ll move on and up.
@annakist EXACTLY. The girlfriend/ fiance is their air, their, heart, their life YET they can’t NOT cheat?!! Funny, how their breath, their, life, their heart, wasn’t even remotely in their thoughts as they cheated. 🙄🙄
But it isn’t “10 minutes” of poor judgement. It’s hours and hours spent lurking online, scrolling profiles, and thinking of other women. A person who minimizes like that has ZERO accountability. I don’t care what the rest of the word salad says. That one sentence tells you everything.
