‘Stranger Things’ star Noah Schnapp SLAMMED for ‘not apologising’ in statement; Twitterati demand Will Byers killed off in first episode

‘Stranger Things’ star Noah Schnapp faces controversy and social media backlash for his statement on the Israel and Palestine conflict. Angry netizens criticize him for not apologizing and demand his removal from the show. Some fans even call for his character, Will Byers, to be killed off in the first episode of Season 5.

‘ Stranger Things ‘ star Noah Schnapp on Wednesday issued a statement, alleging that his “thoughts and beliefs have been so far misconstrued” amidst the ongoing Israel and Palestine conflict . The actor, who is in the middle of a social media storm, appealed for “peace and safety and security for all innocent people”. Interestingly, this statement comes just a week after the makers announced that Season 5 of the hit series has commenced with the cast returning as their characters.

The first photo from the sets, featuring Noah, gave way to social media backlash, with many calling for the boycott of the show if the makers don’t remove the actor from the cast. Schnapp’s TikTok video soon went viral, with angry netizens slamming him for “not apologising ” for his past comments. Others took offence over the actor using the term “Palestinian background” while referring to the people of Palestine.

Some others also pointed out that the actor did not call for a “ceasefire”. “Noah Schnapp yapped for 2 minutes and couldn’t even utter the word ‘ceasefire'” read a tweet. Another said, “Noah Schnapp saying his beliefs have been “misconstrued” and we should all be more “understanding and compassionate” in 2024.

. . my man you were distributing “zionism is sexy” stickers.

” “Noah literally went from ‘zionism is sexy’ to ‘i want world peace and harmony guys’. . .

. . what you think we are dumb.

This man noah schnapp himself is the reason we should be boycotting stranger things,” said another. The internet seemed to be less forgiving and viewed his video statement as a bid to save his role as Will Byers in the show’s final season. “Noah Shnapp scrambling to not get taken off Stranger Things,” a Twitter user commented.

Another slammed the actor for not apologising in his lengthy video. “He’s not sorry. He’s not supporting Palestine now.

. . he’s just panicking bc people are rightfully calling for him to get fired from stranger things.

” Others demanded that his character should get killed off in the first episode of season 5. Fans of his character on the show, have also come forward to slam the actor for his remarks and demand that he be taken off the cast, much like other celebrities who lost leading roles after sparking off major controversies in Hollywood. “I can’t wait to never see his nasty little face ever again after stranger things season 5 fails because they didn’t get rid of him.

I hope will byers dies within 5 minutes of season 5,” a Twitter user commented. “Will Byers must die. Hopefully in the first few minutes of the new Stranger Things series,” said another.

“i know when they hit him with “apologise or will byers dies in s5 e1” he was shaking in his boots,” commented another. The actor in his statement said, “I’ve had many open discussions with friends from Palestinian background, and I think those are very important conversations to have and I’ve learned a lot. One of the takeaways I’ve had is that we all hope for the same things, that being those innocent people still being held hostage in Gaza to be returned to their families and equally hope for an end to the loss of innocent life in Palestine — so many of those people being women and children, and it’s horrible to see.

” Noah concluded with a plea for unity, saying, “We are all human and we’re all the same and we should all love each other for that and support each other and stand together. And stand together for humanity and for peace. ” FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA Visual Stories Previous 7-day breakfast plan that will keep you free from diseases Lifestyle Kollywood actresses and their 2024 Pongal celebration Entertainment Lovey-dovey pics of soon-to-be-married couple Swasika and Prem Jacob tv Janhvi Kapoor keeps it classy in a white shirt and black flared trousers Entertainment Krithi Shetty’s mesmerizing clicks in a minimal saree look to steal your heart Entertainment 8 profound quotes by Guru Gobind Singh ji Lifestyle 10 relationship tips to borrow from Bollywood celebrities Lifestyle ​World’s most expensive cars​ Lifestyle Tips to reconnect with your teenager in their difficult times Lifestyle Next 1 2 3.
