"I can watch these piece of sh*t looters get tackled all day!!" the person wrote in the caption of a news story that showed protesters being chased down by police. The person recording is yelling, "Don't let them get away!" It didn't take long for people to call out the actor and the following day, Evan Peters shared a black square in support of #BlackOutTuesday. He followed that up with an apology claiming that he backs Black Lives Matter efforts.
"I don’t condone the guy watching the news at all in the video which I have deleted. I unknowingly retweeted it," he wrote. "I’m deeply upset it got on my newsfeed. I sincerely apologize if anyone was offended. I support black lives matter wholeheartedly." Of course, Cancel Culture is calling for a boycott of Peters and all of his shows and films, and Halsey has been mentioned in the dialogue, as well. There have been rumors that the couple split earlier this year.

“I have always loved Macaulay Culkin’s work,” he said. “I loved everything that he’s done, I love the stuff he did in Home Alone. I also loved the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn’t worked in a while.”
“So I have this very, very great, insane part,” he continued. “And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said okay. [When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually,” . “I said, ‘Okay, here’s the pitch.’ And I told him the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.”
