John Boyega has apologized for comments made that some readers construed as an attack on his 'Star Wars' co-star Kelly Marie Tran.
"In no way was I referring to Kelly when I made my comments although the interviewer mentioned her given the topic. I was really speaking from my own perspective throughout this franchise. Sometimes I've felt strong and sometimes I've felt weak. Badly worded though. I apologize."
He added that his feelings about the abuse Tran suffered remained the same as those he articulated when she decided to leave social media last year."Harassing the actors/actresses will do nothing. You're not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude. Even if you paid for a ticket!" If you don’t like Star Wars or the characters understand that there are decisions makers and harassing the actors/ actresses will do nothing. You’re not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude. Even if you paid for a ticket! 🤷🏾♂️Boyega himself is a frequent user of social media, with more than a million followers on both Twitter and Instagram. In his interview with Variety, he said:"Through social media, we get to engage, we get to have fun.
Boyega's apology on Twitter on Thursday generated more comments from followers, some of whom thanked him for clarifying his remarks and others who criticized him for giving in to what they thought was unreasonable criticism.
