Hartley Sawyer Licenziato

Nelle scorse ora Hartley Sawyer, che nella serie tv The Flash ha interpretato il ruolo di Elongated Man, è stato licenziato ufficialmente dalla serie dalla Warner Bros. e da CW in seguito ad alcuni suoi tweet razzisti e misogeni del 2012. Il produttore esecutivo della serie Eric Wallace ha dato l’annuncio su twitter.

L’account twitter dell’attore è stato prontamente cancellato e Sawyer ha voluto scusarsi su instagram per le parole espresse in passato.

My words, irrelevant of being meant with an intent of humor, were hurtful, and unacceptable. I am ashamed I was capable of these really horrible attempts to get attention at that time. I regret them deeply. This was not acceptable behavior. These were words I threw out at the time with no thought or recognition of the harm my words could do, and now have done today. I am incredibly sorry, ashamed and disappointed in myself for my ignorance back then. I want to be very clear: this is not reflective of what I think or who I am now. Years ago, thanks to friends and experiences who helped me to open my eyes, I began my journey into becoming a more responsible adult – in terms of what I say, what I do, and beyond. I've largely kept that journey private, and this is another way that I have let so many down. I still have more work to do. But how I define myself now does not take away the impact of my words, or my responsibility for them. I am very sorry.
