On the afternoon of June 7, Percy Hynes White, who gives life to Xavier Thorpe in the hit series merlinused his Instagram account to face whoever accused him of misbehavior towards women. Obviously, the actor denied what happened and assured that the situation has gone too far, to the point of including his family and co-workers.
Last January, a user of Twitter wrote that Hynes White had assaulted her and four friends while they were in Toronto, Canada. As she recounted in a series of tweets (which are no longer available), everything happened at a party, and the actor took advantage of the alcoholic state of the alleged victims. In addition, it is said that he made fun of them and shared their nudes when he did not have authorization.
After a few months of controversy and extremely negative comments against him, this was shared on Instagram by the interpreter of Xavier Thorpe.
“Hello everyone. There is something I need to clarify;
Earlier this year, someone I’ve never met started an online misinformation campaign about me. Because of this, my family has been deceived and my friends have received death threats.
Underage photos of me were used, and examples of me acting in character were presented as hateful. My friend Jane was falsely portrayed as a victim, and her attempts to set the record straight have been ignored. She gave me permission to include her in this message.
The rumors are false. I cannot accept the representation of me as someone intolerant or criminally negligent of the safety of people. These are the kind of unsubstantiated and harmful claims that can create mistrust towards victims.
It is very distressing to know that this misinformation has upset people. I am very grateful for everyone who supported me and helped me share the facts. The harassment of my family, friends and co-workers must stop please.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Percy.”
So far, no actor or creative from merlin He has spoken about the strong accusations against the actor. Only Jenna Ortega, with whom he has been romantically related, spoke a few months ago on the subject. She declared that she was still her friend, and that the four protagonists of the series “looked out for each other.” Obviously, her comments brought her negative criticism from those who did not believe that she could continue to be her friend.
On the other hand, it has not been revealed if Percy Hynes White will maintain his role as Xavier Thorpe in the second season of Merlina. Considering the words of Jenna Ortega, who revealed that the new chapters will get rid of the love subplot (where Xavier was included), that could be a solid pretext to justify a possible departure from the actor.
