Old Tweets, Apology, Petition

Come 2020, and right on the even of season 7, things turned pretty sour pretty fast for Hartley. Towards the end of May and early June of 2020, a host of Hartley’s Tweets from 2011-2014 started surface. The Tweets were offensive, aiming sexual violence, racism, homelessness, domestic violence, and many more.

Some of the Tweets read, “As a lad, one of my favorite activities was kidnapping homeless women and cutting off their breasts.” And, “The only thing from stopping me from doing mildly racist Tweets is the knowledge that Al Sharpton would never stop complaining about me.”

Hartley’s Twitter had been deleted a while back but once the old Tweets resurfaced, the showrunner Eric Wallace issued a statement and fired the actor. Hartley’s co-actor Grant Gustin also showed his anger towards the derogatory comments.

Hartley, on his part, also issued an apology saying,

“My words, irrelevant of being meant with an intent of humor, were hurtful, and unacceptable. I am ashamed I was capable of these horrible attempts to get attention at that time.”

He later added,

“I am incredibly sorry, ashamed, and disappointed in myself for my ignorance back then. I want to be very clear: this is not reflective of what I think or who I am now.”

In the entire saga, there was also a petition by fans demanding to bring Hartley back to the show. The fans felt that Hartley should not be punished for something he did, however wrong, years before when he was young and stupid.

As of now, there was no response from the producers of the show regarding the petition.
