“I drank for, like, six months” – When Tinashe soaked herself in booze after realizing about Ben Simmons’ love triangle
Ben Simmons broke his ex-girlfriend, singer Tinashe's heart after he started seeing Kendall Jenner in 2018. Simmons and Tinashe dated for about two months, shortly before he began to see Jenner. The then-Philadelphia 76ers star found himself in a love triangle with Tinashe and Jenner.
The former once revealed that she was in a terrible state for six months after learning about her ex-boyfriend's latest relationship. Here's what Tinashe said back then (h/t Complex):
“It may have been the worst day of my life, but it’s OK. I drank for, like, six months after that! Are you kidding me? I was, like, wasted for months. But I’m OK now.”

It was a messy situation overall for all parties involved. Kendall Jenner, in particular, was unimpressed with Tinashe's behavior. According to "People," sources close to Jenner revealed that the singer-songwriter's antics had gotten to her. Here's what the report said:
"She honestly doesn’t want people talking about who she’s dating and is very protective of her personal life. She hates the attention, and it’s been annoying that the drama with Tinashe has come up.”
