Actress Lucy Lawless, best known for her role as Xena: Warrior Princess, has publicly criticised fellow actor Kevin Sorbo for sharing a conspiracy theory about the storming of the US Capitol. Sorbo, a staunch Donald Trump supporter, posted a manipulated image on Twitter suggesting that 'leftist agitators' were responsible for the riot, rather than Trump supporters.
Lawless responded directly to Sorbo, calling him an 'enabler' and referring to the rioters as 'your flying monkeys, homegrown terrorists, QAnon actors'. She accused him of inciting violence while keeping his own hands clean. Sorbo had earlier tweeted 'History is being made…' before later urging protesters to respect police and not act like Antifa.
The exchange drew widespread praise for Lawless, with fans applauding her takedown. She also shared a story about working with Jon Voight, comparing Sorbo's trajectory to the actor's shift in political views. Sorbo has previously been criticised by celebrities like Chrissy Teigen for promoting voter fraud claims.
