Two months after the 2026 Winter Olympics, the spotlight on figure skating hasn't dimmed—and neither has the drama. Following Alysa Liu's recent fan troubles, attention has now shifted to Amber Glenn and Ilia Malinin. Whispers of a feud between the two skaters have been swirling, forcing Glenn to step forward and set the record straight.
The rumors began after Glenn "accidentally" liked a tweet featuring a video of Malinin. Fans quickly took to social media, speculating about tension between the two athletes. The 26-year-old Olympian didn't hesitate to respond, firing back at those who assumed she would ever criticize Malinin's skating.
"Like some of ya'll really think after how it was HIS Freeskate in the team event at the Olympics that secured us the Gold Medal I would dare to ever criticize his skating like that????" Glenn wrote on X. She explained the mishap, adding, "I literally dmed the account because I clicked on the video tapped to skip fwd and didn't even know I 'liked' it."
In a lighter moment, Glenn poked fun at herself: "People are roasting me calling me GrAmber because I keep messing up stuff with technology constantly 🥴"
The original video and tweet have since been deleted, leaving the context behind the rumored feud unclear. But this isn't the first time fans have targeted Glenn. A certain segment of social media has been using the nickname "GrAmber" to criticize the skater, though its exact meaning remains ambiguous. This time, some of Malinin's fans employed the same term to attack Glenn, fueling the rumors and forcing her to respond.
Ironically, this isn't the only time fan speculation has gone off the rails. In a previous incident, the opposite occurred—fans believed Malinin and Glenn were dating after someone spotted Malinin dancing in a club with an unidentified blonde woman. Many assumed the woman was Glenn, and the dating rumors spread like wildfire. Once again, Glenn had to step in and shut it down, revealing she was literally competing at that very moment.
From dating rumors to feud allegations, it's clear that fan chatter can sometimes spin out of control. But Glenn's quick and witty responses show she's not afraid to take charge of her own narrative—both on and off the ice.
