Instagram Model Who Put Dwayne Haskins on Blast Explains Herself in Exclusive Interview

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins has had a really really bad last few weeks. Following his fiancé’s arrest for allegedly punching him in the face earlier this week, it appears that Haskins is now in a financial dispute with an Instagram model. The model claims Haskins asked her to pay him 20k.

Here’s the screenshots from Haskins:

The model in question is Vanessa Chantal, who is an accomplished model starring in many music videos alongside rappers such as Moneybagg yo, Rick Ross, TI, Gucci mane, j Cole, Birdman, big boy, lucci, and many more. We spoke with Chantal following her putting Haskins on blast, and learned a little more about exactly what went down.

Here’s our conversation below:

Sideaction: Hey what was the 20k with Haskins about?

Vanessa: I’m hesitant to talk to u guys because I want to be shown in a positive light, and many gossip blogs are portraying me as a prostitute, and obviously that’s not the case.

Sideaction: Totally understand. If you want to share I’ll be more than happy to pass along the real story without making you look bad.

Vanessa: He didn’t cheat on his wife with me. Haskins and I talked over a year ago and now he suddenly wants money back for trips, Chanel, etc. The altercation they had didn’t have anything to do with me. In fact I wish them the best! It was just a very bizarre request and very troubling for me that he would think this request would be approved.

Sideaction: So obviously you guys were more than friends, right?

Vanessa: Yes but we were never officially dating. In my opinion I would call it just friends

Sideaction: So why did he all of a sudden ask you for the money back? And was it a loan??

Vanessa: Hell Na hahaha all of those were gifts. I honestly can’t call it. How you  gonna loan me a Chanel purse?

Sideaction: Yea exactly. Just strange he wanted that cash back from you? Why do you think he asked for it?

Vanessa: He seems to be having a lot going on. I honestly don’t know. He was a nice guy when I was seeing him tbh.

Sideaction: Terrible timing for him to drop you a note lol

Vanessa:  I was Thunderstruck. No bad feelings towards him, I hope he gets it together for the season.

Sideaction: Okay appreciate the info, thanks for the interview.

Vanessa: I appreciate yall! Let’s make something positive out of this!

Want to thank Vanessa for taking the time to speak with us. It’s always great when someone can set the record straight.

Haskins should stay off social media for a bit.
