Un actor de la Hollywood a fost eliminat din producţia unui serial îndrăgit în urma remarcilor rasiste făcute pe Twitter

Hartley Sawyer nu va face parte din al şaptelea sezon al „The Flash” după ce vechile sale tweeturi rasiste şi misogine au reapărut online. Sawyer, care îl interpretează pe Ralph Dibny sau Omul Elastic în serialul cu super-eroi, a fost concediat luni din cauza tweeturilor rasiste şi sexiste din 2012 - 2014.

Sawyer şi-a cerut scuze prin intermediul Instagram după ce vechile sale remarci au ieşit la suprafaţă, însă, nu a fost suficient ca să nu-şi piardă rolul în producţia marca Warner Bros.

My words, irrelevant of being meant with an intent of humor, were hurtful, and unacceptable. I am ashamed I was capable of these really horrible attempts to get attention at that time. I regret them deeply. This was not acceptable behavior. These were words I threw out at the time with no thought or recognition of the harm my words could do, and now have done today. I am incredibly sorry, ashamed and disappointed in myself for my ignorance back then. I want to be very clear: this is not reflective of what I think or who I am now. Years ago, thanks to friends and experiences who helped me to open my eyes, I began my journey into becoming a more responsible adult - in terms of what I say, what I do, and beyond. I've largely kept that journey private, and this is another way that I have let so many down. I still have more work to do. But how I define myself now does not take away the impact of my words, or my responsibility for them. I am very sorry.

Actorul a declarat faptul că prietenii i-au deschis ochii cu privire la comportamentul adoptat cu ani în urmă, iar acest lucru l-a ajutat să evolueze într-un adult mai responsabil.

Producătorul emisiunii, Eric Wallace, a emis o declaraţie comună cu Warner Bros prin care anunţă că Sawyer nu se va întoarce pentru următorul sezon al „The Flash”, din cauza acţiunilor sale regretabile din trecut.
