Zendaya's mom, Claire Stoermer, fired off an Instagram story about the definition of 'clickbait' after the engagement rumor starting making the rounds.

Earlier this week, the internet was buzzing with news that on-screen and off-screen couple Tom Holland and Zendaya were engaged.

A tweet by Pop Hive went viral, though they didn't identify their source.


Soon, other accounts were reporting the news, but no one knew its origin.

Neither Holland nor Zendaya shared or confirmed the news themselves.

One person close to the subjects, however, was quick to address the announcement.

On Wednesday evening, Zendaya's mother Claire Stoermer took to her Instagram story to shut it down, low-key calling out media outlets on their 'clickbait.'

She wrote:

"Clickbait typically refers to the practice of writing sensationalized or misleading headlines in order to attract clicks on a piece of content."
"It often relies on exaggerating claims or leaving out key information in order to encourage traffic."

She finished the story:

"The term is generally used in a dismissive sense."

Fans, however, are holding steadfast in their hope the rumors are true.



Many stated they need more proof one way or another.






We likely won't hear the couple address rumors as they tend to keep their relationship as private as possible.

But we're guessing we won't be seeing Zendaya sporting a ring anytime soon.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
