Wednesday star Percy White has been knee-deep in controversy since January of this year, and it seems to be affecting his career in the industry.
Percy Hynes White is known for playing the art-lover Xavier, who will turn out to be the antagonist after a major twist at the end of Wednesday season 1.
Fans have been waiting for the sequel of the series since last year, but things haven’t been so rosy for Wednesday due to the several delays and the new controversies surrounding Percy.
What Are the Allegations Against Peter Hynes White?
In January 2023, X user @milkievich posted a Twitter thread accusing Percy White of abusing and assaulting women to have sexual relationships with them. According to the thread, Percy and his friends were infamous for being predators and would try to invite underage girls and get them high before molesting them.
An old video of Percy White also went viral in which he was seen uttering a racist slur. The video looked like he was performing a script and threw punches at the camera.
X user @desireeecameron also alleged that White let a girl “get r*ped” in his basement and later talked to the girl as he was worried about getting caught by the police.
Other accusations include White getting intimate with minors and his involvement with a 14-year-old teenager. The actor is also accused of sending his naked pictures to minors.
Netizens reacted to the allegations with rage and called for the actor to be taken off all his projects. Many could not believe that someone who has been accused of rape is now an actor in a huge Netflix production.
Percy White Denies Allegations
Percy finally broke his silence over the allegations against him in June by calling it a “campaign of misinformation.” His statement was posted on Instagram in which he claimed that somebody he has never met started the rumors against him, due to which his family and friends have faced death threats.
The actor continued that his underage photos were used, and examples of him acting in character were portrayed as hateful. His friend, Jane, was falsely portrayed as a victim, and her attempts to clarify the situation were ignored.
“The rumors are false. I can’t accept the portrayal of me as someone bigoted or criminally negligent of people’s safety. These are the kind of baseless, harmful claims that can create mistrust toward victims.
It’s very distressing to know that this misinformation has upset people. I’m really thankful for everyone who’s stood by me and helped share the facts. Harassment of my family, friends, and coworkers needs to stop, please. Thank you for taking the time to read this.”
Is Percy White In Wednesday Season 2?
According to Daily Mail UK, Percy Hynes White has been written out of Wednesday season 2. The rumors came almost nine months after the actor was accused of r*pe, molestation, and sending nudes to minor girls.
The news outlet stated that a source close to the White family has confirmed the news, but Netflix itself has yet to make a comment. The cast and crew details of Wednesday season 2 have not been revealed yet.
The allegations against Percy White have not been confirmed to be true yet, and neither are the claims that Netflix is cutting him off. So, I hope you take the news with a pinch of salt and refrain from posting hate comments.
