James Blunt denies he was 'undressed' famous man in Hayden Panettiere's yacht story

James Blunt denied rumors that he was the “undressed” celebrity referenced in Hayden Panettiere’s yacht story. The 52-year-old singer posted a link to a Substack article by journalist Dean Piper that aims to debunk claims circulating online that Blunt was the unnamed famous man described in Panettiere’s memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning.” Blunt shared the article on X with a bulging-eyes emoji. Piper’s argument is based on a timeline: both Panettiere and Blunt attended the amfAR charity event in Cannes, France, in 2009, and Piper says they arrived together and were later photographed on a boat the next day. Page Six is cited in the report.
