Percy Hynes White, who plays Xavier Thorpe in the series “Wednesday”, has reportedly been removed from the Netflix series after being accused of sexual assault.
He is a major face of “Wednesday” who would not be appearing in the Netflix series for season 2. Percy Hynes White, who played Xavier Thorpe (and one of the heroine’s romantic interests), was reportedly fired from the series. It’s in any case what the Daily Mail, citing a source close to the family. For its part, Netflix has not confirmed the information, ensuring that no decision regarding the casting of the series is made as long as the actors’ strike in Hollywood continues.
The 21-year-old Canadian actor has been facing sexual assault accusations since January. A first alleged victim spoke on January 19, 2023 on social networks, claiming that the interpreter of Xavier in “Wednesday” organized “parties with his friends and explicitly invited women they thought were sexy in order to make them sufficiently drunk to have sex with them.” Other testimonies followed, accusing the actor of sexual violence.
Percy Hynes White dément
Percy Hynes White denied the accusations last June, saying the “rumors are false” on Instagram. “I cannot accept being portrayed as vicious or criminally compromising people’s safety. These accusations are unfounded and hurtful, and can create distrust towards real victims.”
Season 2 of “Wednesday” does not currently have a release date. Like all other programs on the platform streaming, the production of the series, created by Tim Burton and having revealed Jenna Ortega to the general public, has been stopped by the actors’ and screenwriters’ strike which has hit Hollywood since the spring. Let us remember, however, that this is the third most viewed series of all time from Netflix.
