Taylor and Joseph have clearly been able to remain amicable ever since they ended their romance four months ago in April.
"She's saying their Friendship is forever," commented one person.
But many fans apparently don't appreciate the flirtation or alleged game they're playing.
"Taylor it's been a trying night you can't play with the people like this," a Twitter user wrote.
Taylor and Joseph announced their decision to part ways in a joint April 19 Instagram post after six months of dating.

"Joseph and I have made the decision to love and support one another as best friends going forward," Taylor wrote in a statement via Instagram Stories, which Joseph reposted on his own account.
"We recognize what's best for both of our futures at this time. This decision was made with lots of love, care, and acknowledgment of how special our relationship is to the both of us."
Taylor went on to thank fans for supporting and rooting for the couple while they were together.
"We want to thank you for the love and support you've shown us while we navigated our relationship from friends, to lovers, and now back to friends," she continued in her statement.
"We've seen every message about how watching an interracial relationship form impacted you, in spite of the ongoing harassment, and we're touched by how our love has inspired you."

Taylor was the one who broke up with Joseph after careful thought and consideration, according to Us Weekly.
One of the main reasons for the split, reportedly, was Joseph's need to stay in his home state of Florida for professional reasons. Taylor, however, couldn't picture herself living there long-term.
Taylor and the attorney's relationship was also presumably stressful considering they had faced hate and harassment online for months after Taylor won Big Brother last summer.
"Joseph and I will continue to support each other enthusiastically, and we encourage you to do the same, as you always have," Taylor concluded in her post.

"Ain't no love lost over here! We will always be part of each other's lives. Whether platonic or romantic we are, and always will be, Jaylor."
Taylor and Joseph broke up right before a pre-planned cruise, but they decided to enjoy the vacation in attempt to stay friends and decompress, Us reported.
Taylor and Joseph had requested privacy at the time, promising to speak more about their split later on.
Once Taylor and Joseph reunited outside of the Big Brother house, they were inseparable but claimed they wanted to take their time in getting to know each other. The pair traveled to Disney and went on a cruise, but they said they didn't want to rush into putting a label on their playful and fun dynamic.
Taylor and Joseph officially became boyfriend and girlfriend on November 1, 2022.
"My connection with Joseph has been undeniable, and I knew from the moment he kissed me on finale night that we'd find a way to be together," Taylor told People that month.
"His heart is bigger than the galaxy, and now we have the privilege of sharing our hearts with each other. I love him so much -- I'm the happiest I've ever been."

Taylor told Us several weeks later that it "barely" felt like there was any distance between them and that Joseph loved her "unlike any relationship" she had been in before.
And Joseph added of the personal stylist and former Miss Michigan, "I'm looking forward to a lifetime of it with her."
After meeting Joseph's family, Taylor gushed, "Love feels different when you're with the person you're supposed to be with. Every moment with Joseph is a delight. He has my heart forever."

Taylor became the first Black female to win a regular season of Big Brother in September. She won a total of $800,000 because fans also voted her to be "America's Favorite Houseguest."
However, Taylor didn't have an easy time in the house considering she was on the chopping block repeatedly and felt bullied by some of her housemates.
Taylor also had a big crush on Joseph during the season, but she was wrongly led to believe he had betrayed her and thrown their "Leftovers" alliance under the bus.
Taylor told People last year that she never would've had a "temporary showmance" with the season's runner-up, Monte Taylor, had she seen the full picture and known Joseph never let her down.
"Joseph really was my rock, my sanity. He didn't need to be in the beginning," Taylor gushed.
"So knowing that my initial assumption about Joseph not turning on me was true, had I known circumstances were different, I probably would not have ended up in a second temporary showmance."

Taylor won Big Brother in a landslide 8-1 jury vote over Monte. Matthew "Turner" Turner was the only jury member who cast a vote for Monte to win.
