Percy Hynes White alleges 'campaign of misinformation' against him
Many suspect Percy Hynes’, who played Xavier Thorpe, the omission could be over sexual assault allegations against him. In his defense, the 22-year-old released a statement earlier, “Somebody I’ve never met started a campaign of misinformation about me online,” he posted on Instagram in June 2023.
“Because of this, my family has been doxxed, and my friends have received death threats.”
The ‘Wednesday’ show was streamed on Netflix in November 2022, and its renewal was confirmed in January 2023.
Jenna Ortega talked about season 2 during the 2023 Emmy Awards, “I’ve received some scripts for the second season, and we’re definitely leaning into more horror,” Ortega told E! News back then.
“It’s really, really exciting because, all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes, and that’s the wonderful thing about her.”
