Blake Shelton Slams Rumors About ‘Secret Meeting’ with Paul Ryan
"I don't do politics no matter WHAT you've read about me and how it's been spun. And THATS the TRUTH from ME," Shelton tweeted.
Blake Shelton is defending himself until the bitter end, assuring the public that he never planned a confidential meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan after a photo of the two surfaced on social media.
Shelton came on the record through social media to clarify that he never met with Ryan, but consequently ran into the politician during a meal out with loved ones. While the two did take a photo with one another, the singer confirmed they never talked about the issues in Washington, D.C., nor did they conspire toward something together.
I can’t even fathom the gossip I read about myself anymore. Seriously.. Literally walked into a restaurant WITH MY FAMILY (including children, LOTS of children), bumped to a politician that I’ve never even met before, said hello and took pictures

“I can’t even fathom the gossip I read about myself anymore. Seriously.. Literally walked into a restaurant WITH MY FAMILY (including children, LOTS of children), bumped to a politician that I’ve never even met before, said hello and took pictures,” Shelton explained via Twitter. “(like I would try to do with anyone I meet who asks). Then we immediately left because it was too cold for the outdoor area we had reserved. And now according to the internet we were hanging out or having some big secret meeting in a PUBLIC restaurant!!!!!! WTF?!!!”
With anger searing through his virtual words, Shelton let bygones by bygones when he just left it up to the haters to throw some shade at him despite clarifying his actions.
Are you kidding me? I don’t do politics no matter WHAT you’ve read about me and how it’s been spun. And THATS the TRUTH from ME. And if you can find it in your heart to hate me for that then so be it. This is out of control…

The “I’ll Name the Dogs” singer also laid down the law about fake accounts trolling all over social media, and reminded followers to look for the verified status on his accounts before trusting the catfishers.
Currently, Shelton can be officially found as a coach on The Voice, which airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
