What other contemporaneous profiles or social posts mention JT Massey in relation to Erika Frantzve?
Executive summary
Multiple contemporaneous and later profiles and social posts link JT (Tyler) Massey to Erika Frantzve: a 2014 Arizona Foothills profile explicitly names “JT Massey” as her boyfriend [1], that pairing appears in a resurfaced Amazing Race audition clip and subsequent mainstream recaps [2] [3], and the images and claims were amplified across digital outlets and social platforms—including aggregator and partisan sites—that repeated the Massey connection and viral photos [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].
1. The audition tape and mainstream recaps: a clear, repeatedly cited pairing
The most-cited contemporaneous artifact tying Massey to Frantzve is a 2014 audition tape for The Amazing Race in which she appears with a then-boyfriend identified in multiple writeups as JT (Tyler) Massey; outlets such as Yahoo republished clips and captions that quote the tape and name Massey alongside Frantzve [2] [3]. These mainstream reports treat the tape as direct evidence of the couple’s relationship at that time and form the backbone of later threads that resurrect the pair’s past together [2].
2. Local profile that names “JT” and describes daily life together
A contemporaneous local profile in Arizona Foothills Magazine includes first-person detail tying Frantzve to “JT Massey,” describing happy hour routines, nightly prayers and calling him “my incredible boyfriend,” which is an explicit, proximate source linking the two in 2014–2015 [1]. That magazine piece is the clearest contemporaneous profile note in the assembled reporting that uses Frantzve’s own voice to reference Massey by name and describe the relationship.
3. Photographs, studio posts, and the viral engagement claim
A set of photos—later circulated as alleged engagement/romance images—was shared widely on social media and attributed to a photography studio (reported as Lunabear studios by some outlets), and those images prompted claims that Frantzve had been engaged to Massey; Primetimer reports that images from the studio were used in viral posts and that the studio accounts were later removed from social platforms [5]. Inquisitr likewise republished the pictures and magazine quotes to argue the pair were publicly a couple in 2014–2015 [4], and a Bitchute upload repurposed the imagery to push a more conspiratorial narrative [8].
4. Amplification across national and partisan outlets and international wire-like coverage
After the audition clip and photos circulated, a range of national celebrity pages and international news aggregators picked up the story, repeating the Massey reference and adding context about Frantzve’s later public profile; Times Now’s coverage explicitly ties the resurfaced audition to renewed scrutiny of Frantzve’s biography and reiterates the Massey association [6]. Tabloid and entertainment outlets such as the Daily Express repeated the core lines—“sex sells” audition footage and a romantic link to JT—without adding new contemporaneous sourcing beyond the tape and the magazine piece [7].
5. Assessment: what the contemporaneous record does and does not show
The contemporaneous record captured in these sources shows multiple independent nodes mentioning JT/ Tyler Massey in direct relation to Erika Frantzve circa 2014–2015: a first-person Arizona Foothills profile naming “JT Massey” as boyfriend [1], an audition tape filmed with a partner widely identified as JT Massey and reported by mainstream outlets [2] [3], and studio photos that circulated as evidence and were later amplified and partially retracted or removed on social platforms [5] [4]. Beyond those materials, however, the assembled reporting does not present contemporaneous legal documents, engagement announcements, or direct statements from Massey confirming engagement status; some later claims (viral threads asserting a formal engagement or marriage) appear to be extrapolations from photos and captions rather than newly uncovered contemporaneous records [5] [4]. The coverage therefore supports that Massey was publicly identified as Frantzve’s boyfriend in contemporaneous media and social posts, while more definitive claims (engagement, marriage) rely on amplification and interpretation of photos and captions rather than additional primary documentation in the provided reporting [5] [8].
