Wednesday” star Percy Hynes White is calling out allegations against him as a “campaign of misinformation.” He did not mention by name what specific allegations he was referring to, but his statement was published to Instagram months after sexual assault allegations against him began circulating social media in January. “Earlier this year, somebody I’ve never met started a campaign of misinformation about me online.

Because of this, my family has been doxxed, and my friends have received death threats,” Hynes White wrote in an Instagram story statement on Tuesday. “Underage photos of me were used, and examples of me acting in character were presented as hateful.

My friend Jane was falsely portrayed as a victim, and her attempts to set the record straight have been ignored. She gave me permission to include her in this message.” He continued: “The rumors are false.

I can’t accept the portrayal of me as someone bigoted, or criminally negligent of people’s safety. These are the kind of baseless, harmful claims that can create mistrust toward victims.
