Heated Rivalry’ Star Hudson Williams Shuts Down Toxic Fans

The Heated Rivalry actor had a message for part of the show’s fandom, calling them out for unwanted behavior.

Hudson posted to Instagram Stories March 9. “Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/ homophobic/biphobic/misogynistic/ageist/ ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind, ‘None of us need your hateful ‘love.’”

“We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side,” he added, “if you can’t accept that gtfoh.”

This is the first time Hudson has addressed the haters. It is worth mentioning here that the Canadian actor and his co-stars have been harassed online since the sports show skyrocketed in popularity after its release on HBO Max in November.

Hudson’s co-star François Arnaud supported him and shared a same story on his Instagram stories.

In addition to Williams and Arnaud, Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, who portrays Svetlana on Heated Rivalry, also doubled down on her co-stars’ stance.

She penned, “Please, don’t turn something on the internet that is about love into hate. So much love was put into this project and we all have a genuine respect for every person involved in making it.”

“We are not characters, nor are our real friends, partners, or family, and creating false narratives about us is not ‘love,’” Kharlamova noted. “So many good things have come out of this series, so let’s keep it that way. Share the love, the art, the dance parties, the friends that have been made, the positivity.”
