The cast of ‘Heated Rivalry’ is speaking out against online hate in their fandom. 📣
Stars Hudson Williams, François Arnaud, and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova shared a message on social media condemning bigotry as the hockey romance series continues to gain a massive following.
“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynistic/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind,” the statement read. “None of us need your hateful ‘love’.”
The message was also reposted by castmate Robbie G.K. along with creator Jacob Tierney and author Rachel Reid.
Williams also addressed a fan who suggested he had been left to defend himself, replying that the message was actually a group effort.
“It was Francois’ idea and I helped write it! I don’t scroll comments so I did not see the hate. I was vibing watching figure skating highlights.” 💅
