Geelong star Bailey Smith is copping it online after claims he was dating multiple women on the same day, with one accusing him of “love bombing” and “planning a future” with her.

But while everyone’s been quick to jump on it, it doesn’t look like Smith’s done anything wrong, and if he’s single, he can date who he wants.

Sydney woman Tahlia took to TikTok on Sunday evening, posting a series of screenshots and images captioned: “love bombing should be studied”.

The second image was a screenshot from another woman, Mia’s page, showing Smith and Mia posing together in a mirror.

Things escalated when Tahlia messaged Mia to ask when the photo had been taken. The pair quickly realised they had both spent time with Smith on the same day, and he appeared to be wearing the same outfit in both images.

They also claimed the photos were taken in the same location, alleging they were snapped just “three hours apart”, describing it as “crazy work”.

TikTok users were quick to weigh in, with reactions ranging from outrage to amusement.

“Running a serious program,” one person commented.

“Real life John Tucker Must Die s***,” another wrote.

Love Island Australia star Boston also joined the conversation, posting a screenshot of Smith asking to work out with her — to which she replied: “nup”.

Others, however, were quick to defend the AFL star.

“You know people can do what they want when they are single right?” one user wrote.

“BREAKING: Attractive, famous athlete pursues many women at once, more at 6,” another joked.

“Why does he keep agreeing to take the photo,” a third questioned.
