Abbie Chatfield’s partner Adam Hyde has been called out by his ex after he made a comment about Leonardo DiCaprio hitting her at an A-list party in Los Angeles.
The woman, who says she lived with the 35-year-old Beijing Duk star in the US for about five years, says Adam “stole” the anecdote from her and is passing it off as his own.
She has also warned Chatfield that the Dancing2 hitmaker loves the ‘spectacle’ of having such a high-profile girlfriend.
A few weeks ago, the musician, who goes by the stage name Keli Holiday, made headlines for claiming that DiCaprio once turned down a cigarette and then had the audacity to hit on his girlfriend.
He broke the story on Hit Network’s Carrie & Tommy and said it happened while he was at NBA star Ben Simmons’ birthday party, which was also attended by Drake..
‘This is my story. I think he’s a loser because he stole it,” the ex, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the Mail.

She went on to explain that the birthday party was a joint event hosted by the company she had just started working for.
‘It was my first week there. It was Ben Simmons’ birthday…Adam and I went to parties and broke up,” she explains.
‘I stood there and smoked a cigarette. I remember being tapped on the shoulder and being scared because we weren’t allowed to smoke inside.’
She was afraid she was going to be thrown out, but was surprised when she turned around and saw it was DiCaprio.
‘He asked me if he could have a cigarette too. I thought, “Oh, my God, yeah, definitely.” I was a little shocked. I thought, “Are you having a good time?”
“He said, ‘Yeah, it’s fun,’ whatever. Then he puts on his hood and heads back into the crowd. That’s it.’
The ex says Hyde saw the interaction, approached her and asked what was said. She claims he hired DiCaprio must have affected her.
She also brushed off Hyde’s claim about meeting Drake at the party.

Is it ever fair to take credit for someone else’s story to boost your own image?
“When he got together with Abbie – nothing against her, I think they’re great – but there’s something about the spectacle that she keeps that I think is very attractive to Adam,” his ex says.
“Drak came. Drake was there. But he was in the room. It was one of those things where he just was. He [Hyde] didn’t talk to Drake at all,” she claims.
Hyde first recalled his surreal encounter with DiCaprio during a conversation with radio hosts Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little last month.
“I remember at the party there was this big, bald, shiny head – and it was Drake!” he said during the interview.
‘He had his head shaved, I thought, “Oh, s***!” So I said hi to Drake and then I got a tap on the shoulder and it was Leonardo DiCaprio and his buddy asking for smoke.”
He admitted he was stunned when he came face to face with the Oscar winner.
‘I thought, “Oh my God!” That’s as famous as it gets!’ he said.
Little, 41, was amused to discover that even one of Hollywood’s biggest stars needed a cigarette every now and then.
“I can’t believe Leo is messing around with cigarettes,” the comedian joked.
However, Hyde soon realized that the request might be less about smoking and more about the woman accompanying him.
‘I thought, “What’s going on there?” But then I realized he was hitting on my girlfriend at the time,” he said. “That was his move.”
Hyde did not name the ex or reveal when the star-studded party took place.
But his former partner now tells us: ‘I was living the LA life and often it was Adam who went along with my cool s***, not the other way around.
‘Adam is a classic exaggeration. Adam likes to be the main character in the story, even if it is not his story. He likes to be the center of attention.
“When he got together with Abbie – nothing against her, I think she’s great – but there’s something about the spectacle that she keeps that I think is very attractive to Adam.”
She believes Hyde “secretly loves” the controversy and media attention he receives from working with someone as famous and divisive as Chatfield.
“He secretly loves it and can talk about this stuff,” she says.
“I’d just say: keep your own personality, girl. You’re way cooler than him,” the ex says
“I think internally he hates it [the controversy]…but I feel like it’s addictive when you get attention…I think it’s a dopamine hit.
“He loves the performance of it…I’ll never be able to love him enough the way the audience makes him feel, or the way an article written about him makes him feel. I could never love him so much.
“I think he and Abbie are a perfect fit. That’s not a shadow. I really think they fit together perfectly. I think it’s a great relationship.’
However, despite thinking Chatfield, 31, and Hyde are a perfect match, the ex warned that every relationship has its downsides.
‘I don’t know what her personality is like. Maybe they have the exact same personality… When I met Adam, I had a spark about me. I had this glow,” she says.
“And I just made myself smaller… I made myself smaller to be with him. I really had to work for years to find my light again.’
‘[Abbie] seems like a confident, strong woman. I don’t think she has any problems [with that]. But I do have the feeling: take good care of yourself.
“Don’t make things work just because you want them to work. Adam has a great personality. I have to say that. Everyone loves him.
“There’s something about him that’s magnetic. I have to give that to him. You feel like you have to fit in. And he makes you feel that way too.
“I’d just say: keep your own personality, girl. You’re way cooler than him. This is what he does… He wants to be a cool girl.”
Adam rose to fame as one half of the electronic music duo Peking Duk alongside Reuben Styles.
He later launched his solo alter ego Keli Holiday in 2021 as an outlet for more personal music, exploring romance and heartbreak.
He and Chatfield made their romance public in 2024.
