Just this past Friday, American Idol winner, Laine Hardy was arrested for spying on a female student at Louisiana State University. The 21-year-old singer was arrested when there was a warrant put out for his arrest. One investigator found “probable cause” and charged him with “one felony count of interception and disclosure of wire, electronic or oral communication.”
The Incident
In the police report, the victim called the LSU Police Department when she found a device under her bed. Of course, she got online to check out what this thing was and it turns out that it is a VR-500 voice-activated recorder. She also stated that she and Hardy did date between November 2021 and February 2022. He has been very private about the women in his life and this woman has asked to remain anonymous at this point.
American Idol Contestant Arrested
Laine won American Idol in 2019 and has only been linked to a few women since he won on the show. One of the women that he was linked to is LSU student and pageant queen, Sydney Taylor. The couple was in the media because of the face that they both got COVID-19 after they were seen kissing one another in public. Did Taylor have something to do with this spying as well? Could his high school sweetheart, Gracie Lee have something to do with this? As of right now, the police only think that Hardy has something to do with the recording device and not these two women.
Lee has been dating Hardy on and off for over two years and they have known one another since high school. They have been seen together quite a bit on social media and they are very public about their love for one another. What was the motive behind the spying though?
Lee recently posted with Hardy for Valentine’s Day that she was in love with him. She posted a very sweet tribute to him and shared it with her fans. However, her posts with him have ceased and now her followers want to know if they are still together. She has been very quiet about their relationship since then and this has led some to believe that they are not together anymore.
Hardy was taken into police custody when he was charged with placing the listening device in the dorm room of an ex. A spokesman for LSU commented, “Laine Reed Hardy was arrested by LSU police today and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for violation of 15:1303- interception and Disclosure of Wire, Electronic, or Oral Communication. His arrest warrant has been filed with clerk of court.”
