On his social media account, Simo Liu was quick to defend William, pointing out how important it is to stop targeting people of color. His post also said: “For an organization that has become synonymous with clickbait, to never grow, to never evolve, to never have a moment of self-awareness, and to continue to spread vile sensationalism like this, is sad. Stop harassing people of color for absolutely nothing.”
“Furthermore, when another social media user asked him about his response to similar posts, the actor replied that he had his fair share of “shock” due to similar targeting posts with fabricated content against him.The actor’s full post read: “So, I have this very specific trauma associated with people on the internet making things up about me and twisting things into a massive hate campaign when it first broke out.
I began to recognize patterns whenever people of color specifically had a moment of visibility. It happened like clockwork, and I see it happening now. The internet is crazy. Bad actors are everywhere. If you are here, be careful.
Be smart.”
