Percy Hynes White, the actor who portrayed Xavier Thorpe in Netflix's hit series Wednesday, has finally spoken out about the allegations that led to his abrupt departure from the show. The young star faced intense backlash earlier this year after serious accusations surfaced online, prompting widespread debate among fans.
In a candid statement, Hynes White addressed the claims, stating, "I want to set the record straight. These allegations are not only false but have caused immense harm to my personal and professional life." He emphasized his commitment to transparency and accountability while maintaining his innocence.
Fan Reactions Split Amid Controversy
The news has divided Wednesday fans, with some standing by the actor while others remain skeptical. Social media platforms have been flooded with discussions, with hashtags like #JusticeForPercy and #CancelXavier trending at different times.
Netflix has yet to comment on whether Hynes White will return for the show's second season, but sources suggest the role of Xavier Thorpe may be recast. The controversy has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the highly anticipated next installment of the supernatural series.
What This Means for the Future of 'Wednesday'
The allegations and subsequent fallout have raised questions about how the show will handle Xavier Thorpe's character moving forward. With filming for Season 2 underway, producers face the challenge of addressing the character's absence or reintroduction.
Industry insiders speculate that the writers may take creative liberties to explain Xavier's disappearance, possibly tying it into the show's dark and mysterious narrative. However, no official announcements have been made regarding the character's fate.
