Trigger warning: sexual assault, grooming, harassment, rape
Fans of Netflix’s smash show Wednesday have started a petition to remove Percy Hynes White from the show after several women came forward to accuse the actor of harassment and rape.
It started with a thread by twitter user @milkievich who shared that she knew White and his friends, and had attended their house parties where they would invite women they thought were attractive. The user said the men would then get them drunk to have sex with them.
The thread soon lead to many other women coming forward with the same allegations, which were shared under the same thread. Currently, the hashtag #cancelpercy is trending on Twitter, with fans calling for Netflix and Jenna Ortega to remove White from the show.
The actor has disabled his Instagram comments, and has yet to respond to the allegations.
