After this latest condom controversy, I fear Hallie Batchelder is, uh, living up to the Unwell Network name. The 28-year-old influencer is facing an intense wave of backlash this week after mocking safe sex on her podcast, Extra Dirty. Her controversial hot take on condoms? “I don’t fuck with condoms and they ruin the vibe,” she declared.

Needless to say, lots of people on TikTok vehemently disagree and think that’s an irresponsible take to share with her young female audience. While Hallie might be “offended by the condom epidemic” and “allergic” to them, TikTokers have pointed out they’re essential for preventing STIs as well as reducing the risk of pregnancy.

If you’re just stumbling upon Hallie this week and know very little about the influencer, here’s a breakdown of the condoms controversy and a rundown of her dating history.

Hallie Batchelder: Condom Comments Backlash

In the clip that went viral, Hallie complains about guys killing the vibe by searching for condoms. “Who likes them?!” she exclaimed about condoms. “One, it ruins the mood.” Hallie said that when a guy told her he thought condoms were important for “responsible sex and boundaries,” she got the ick and didn’t speak to him again.

Although she’s not thrilled about the backlash, Hallie’s standing by her *interesting* take. “Guys, I’m not in the fuckin’ mood today for this bullshit,” she said in an October 25 TikTok. “If that’s what we wanna cancel me for? Okay, cancel me. I’m not changing my mind on that one.” She went on to say that if she texted a group chat of “100 bitches,” they would all say they haven’t used condoms since high school. Hallie doubled down on her hatred of condoms, adding, “I don’t think that’s a controversial opinion at all.” Hmmm….

Halle Batchelder’s Dating History

In a December 2024 interview with Elite Daily, the podcast host revealed that she’d been single since college and wasn’t looking for a committed relationship. “I’m pretty content just doing me,” she said at the time. “There’s no one to report to, no one’s going to ask me why I’m in Miami.” Obviously, she still dates ~for the plot~ — more specifically, for content. Hallie says she likes to link up with older rich men she finds at New York City bars, namely Zero Bond and The Nines. Oh, and she also has stories about friends’ uncles…

The influencer tries to steer clear of the “elevated frat bro who thinks he’s still in college.” She’s more interested in “the guy that was maybe a little nerdier in his early 20s, and now he’s aging like fine wine.” Hallie’s a fan of the “I don’t chase, I attract” motto.

She did spark dating rumors with Noah Centineo in September 2024 after they were spotted at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and wound up on DeuxMoi. “I’ve never really been in that situation before, so I was caught off guard,” Hallie told Elite Daily. “I thought we were a little more under the radar. But honestly, even though that situation didn’t work out, at least I was on DeuxMoi. I was fine. I looked good.”

Hallie seems to be single at the moment.
