Penn Badgley and Meghann Fahy’s recent online back-and-forth is raising eyebrows.
Badgley kicked off the chatter on Monday, June 30, by praising Fahy’s performance in her Netflix series, Sirens.
“So I don’t usually do this, but my wife [Domino Kirke] and I just finished Sirens. OK Sirens, want to give her her flowers,” he said in an Instagram Reel. “Now obviously there’s Julianne, there’s Kevin, there’s Milly, but this Meghann Fahy. This newcomer, this refreshing gawky beauty, love it, love you.”
Badgley was seemingly joking about Fahy being a “newcomer,” since they previously worked together on Gossip Girl, and she’s become a household name after starring on The White Lotus season 2. However, Fahy took to the comments section and played along with Badgley’s bit.
“Penn! This is so kind. Thank you,” she replied. “Tell Domino I say hi. And that her taste is flawless.”
That comment sparked a chain reaction as it turned into a full-on conversation between the pair. Fahy called out Badgley for calling her “gawky,” then teased him about his Netflix show, You.
“There you go again with that trapping thing,” she quipped. “Heard you did a lot of that on your show. I never watched it.”
Many fans speculated Fahy could be an upcoming guest on Badgley’s “Podcrushed” podcast. However, one day later, news broke that Fahy and Badgley would be starring in the film adaptation of Sarah Hogle’s You Deserve Each Other.
The romance novel tells the story of Naomi and Nick, who are engaged and fall out of love ahead of their wedding day. While neither one wants to call off the ceremony, the couple turns to hijinks and pranks to make the other one fold.
While Badgley and Fahy haven’t spoken out about You Deserve Each Other, their banter is seemingly them getting into their respective characters for the upcoming project.

Bantering in the Instagram Comments
After Fahy interacted with Badgley’s video, the twosome went back and forth on the post’s comments section. Fahy kicked it off by saying hello to Kirke and complimenting her taste in television series. Badgley corrected her, saying it was “our taste.”
“Oops haha,” Fahy responded before questioning his description of her. “Gawky tho .”
Badgley explained he “meant it as a compliment.”
“Long arms are so gorgeous but historically less featured,” he said.
Fahy recommended that he “chill on the body stuff.”
“Whoa I’ve obviously been very supportive and complimentary but this feels like a trap,” he replied.
Fahy then pointed out he was acting like his character, Joe Goldberg, from You, from what she’s heard, despite not seeing the show herself.
“There you go again with that trapping thing,” she said.
‘Gossip Girl’ Call Back
One day after their conversation on Badgley’s post, the actor shared a new video making fun of him and Fahy previously working together on Gossip Girl. (Fahy appeared in one episode as the character Devyn.)
“Butterfly effect is crazy because if I’d never met Meghann Fahy on the set of Gossip Girl my life would be exactly the same,” he wrote alongside the clip poking fun at the trend set to Lorde’s song “Ribs.”
Fahy’s Response
Shortly after Badgley uploaded his video, Fahy took to Instagram to share a message for him.
“Penn Badgley is a 10 if you’re looking for a Temu Pedro Pascal,” she said while mispronouncing his last name.
