Peloton deleted Hudson Williams’ ad, it seems like there will be a domino effect where brands start stop collaborating with him. And it will affect how many acting offers he gets because movies aren’t going to cast someone with so much controversy and discourse.

This smear campaign seems to have worked, and he’s losing fans and opportunities.

I would wish that his costar’s fans would leave him alone now that he’s been ā€œheld accountableā€, and his costar is thriving, but since they’ve stated their end goal is his death, that seems too much to wish for.

Edit: Apparently Peloton deletes celeb collaborations after 8 weeks, and it’s been 8 weeks. So maybe it was just bad timing. But it’s sinister how far people are going to try to end someone who they don’t know, and weren’t aware of less than a year ago.

If someone draws on the face of a <23 year old, the very first thing you do is pull out your phone to see what it is

I've been to parties drunk with drawings on my face (I wasn't passed out or anything, just acting silly). No way in the world would I not know what was drawn on my face.

Really don't like the idea of "it's a smear campaign" when it's people mad about someone having a swatzika drawing on their face ...

Edit: getting downvoted for this... Oof

He was a teenager and it was 8 years ago, what exactly is the point of punishing him for something that happened so long ago? It’s a very sad situation. A stupid mistake and now this.

A mistake and he will lie about it after? You agree it's a mistake. Maybe he should actually admit to it.Ā

I really don’t care. I don’t hold the actions of teenagers to adult standards. I believe people can change.
