Conor Maynard has fired back at Charlotte Chilton after she alleged that he's the father of her "miracle" child.
In a new post on Instagram, the former YouTuber shared a video of his newest track, while his caption was a direct reference to The Traitors star's allegations from last year:
"My turn on the mic.. 😇"
In June 2024, Charlotte announced her pregnancy to the world, alleging at the time that Conor Maynard was the father. She claimed to have had a one-night stand with him. Per the Daily Mail, however, two paternity tests have cleared the latter of this.
The drama between Conor Maynard and Charlotte Chilton explored:
Conor Maynard, who announced his engagement to his beau, Kitty Bertrand, just this past weekend, can be seen at a parody press conference with microphones bearing digs at the allegations, including "Traitor Times," "Not My Sun," and "Legal Guardian."
Journalists can be seen fighting to ask Conor questions, with the first one asking:
"Conor, is it true that you still can't say no to women?" Another chimed in, "Roughly how much did you pay to change your DNA?"
One more held a photo of a baby with Conor Maynard's face superimposed over it as he remarked, "come on the baby looks just like you." Yet another reporter from 'Billy Jean from the One Night Standard' asked him:
'You've been at the centre of a lot of drama and accusations over the past year and a half, do you have anything to say on the matter?'
The content creator didn't answer any of the questions. Instead, he deadpanned to the camera before the words "Cherry On Top Sept 26" appeared on screen. He also attached links for his fans to go ahead and pre-save his forthcoming track on streaming services.
As reported by Metro, last year, Charlotte alleged that her daughter Penelope, born in October, was Conor Maynard's. She claimed that they met through her castmate, Harry Clark, who was dating Maynard's younger sister, Anna, at the time.
However, in March, Maynard revealed the results of his paternity test and followed it up with another one just last month, ending all speculation. According to Charlotte, however, Conor "switched testing locations last minute," and she didn't give her own DNA. When the results of the second test were announced, she issued a statement, per the Daily Mail:
"For those of you who have followed Charlotte's journey since her appearance on BBC's The Traitors, will know she has fought an extraordinary battle for truth and justice with heartfelt conviction. We are forever grateful to everyone who has shown unwavering love and support to Charlotte over the past 12 months. Special thanks must also go to Charlotte's rockstar legal advisors, Lorna McCammon (SFR Law) and Paul Lunt (Brabners) for their invaluable counsel and guidance. We could not have done this without you. Charlotte will now take time to process, heal and reflect and when she is ready, she will finally share her story in full."
As for Conor Maynard, he took to social media to issue his own acknowledgment, noting at the time:
"Today I received the results of a second paternity test, which was requested by Charlotte regarding her baby girl, Penelope. As with the last test, this test has confirmed again that I am not Penelope's father. As Charlotte requested, Penelope's, Charlotte's and my DNA were all taken at a Ministry of Justice accredited DNA testing facility that was selected by Charlotte. The results are therefore conclusive. This has been difficult for me and my family, and I'm so grateful for everyone's support. I'm glad we can now finally draw a line under this."
He has since announced his engagement:
‘Happy Birthday to my FIANCÉE!!! 🍀🌙🐶 I’m ready to take on forever with you,’ he posted on Instagram over this weekend, alongside a photo of himself kissing his bride-to-be on the cheek as she held up her hand, showing off her ring.
