When it comes to Hollywood couples and haters, unfortunately, the two are often synonymous. However, sometimes things reach a point where the star in question has to step in — and in the case of Rudy Pankow and Elaine Siemek, that’s exactly what happened.
Back in 2021, Pankow took to Instagram to address those intent on painting Siemek in a bad light, and implore them to stop suggesting that she was “abusive and manipulative.” And, though he didn’t go into specifics, or name and shame the accounts responsible, it’s likely that at least one of the rumors he was referring to revolved around a video of them on a night out. In the clip circulated on TikTok, more than one account suggested that Siemek was driving a wedge between Pankow and his fans. Their perceived smoking gun? Siemek walked away from the group of fans while holding Pankow’s hand. That was described as Siemek forcefully yanking him away … and suffice it to say, the “Outer Banks” actor didn’t appreciate the “concerns.”
