He's been celebrated for years because of his contributions to American Horror Story, but Evan Peters found himself in the hot seat after supporting a controversial tweet. Peters, like many other Hollywood entertainers, remained silent about George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, or the global protests that have taken place worldwide, but he did retweet a Twitter user who criticized people taking to the streets.

"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.

Halsey Opens Up About Being Bipolar & Why She Won’t Discuss Boyfriend Evan Peters
Halsey discusses her life as of late.
Halsey dropped off her latest album Manic just a few days ago and the 16-song offering is an honest expression of a 25-year-old who’s made it out alive despite many trials and tribulations along the way. In light of the expressive project, the singer chatted with The Sun on a number of topics that surround her life as of late – one being her bipolar disorder. “I achieved a lot of my dreams at 19 years old. I’ve had a pretty invincible couple of years. So when I can’t do a simple f***ing task and I am so frustrated with myself because I feel so incapable, I get mad at myself and say, ‘F*** you’. That’s having bipolar,” she said.
On the topic of her boyfriend Evan Peters, who she recently moved in with, Halsey expressed her plans to keep this relationship more private.
“A friend of mine – another female artist who has been criticised for dating a lot of people – said, ‘Ashley, you need to live your fucking life and ignore what people say about you.’ And so now I keep everything to myself in terms of my romantic relationships,” she said. “I will say that it’s good to not date another musician as then your work follows you everywhere. Now it’s my personal life so I get to go home to somebody that I love and spend time with them, and it not be about work.”

So cute.
After Halsey broke up with her British rocker last year, she and her cyber crush Evan Peters finally got together and debuted their relationship on Halloween, attending a party together. “Petition for Evan Peters to date me,” Halsey wrote in 2013 way before she and Evan linked up. New reports now suggest that the couple is still going strong since they have officially moved into together.

Before Halsey, Evan dated actress Emma Roberts and apparently he “took a long time of figuring himself out again before he was ready to date.” Now that they’re together, Evan’s friends approve and his “friends think they’re the perfect duo.”
In other Halsey news, the “Without Me” singer previously opened up about the paparazzi and how violent they’re getting. “What’s crazy to me, is if a guy camped outside your house and hid in a bush and took photos of you with a long lense camera every single day, without you knowing, you would be so creeped out and scared you would call the police and say you’re being harassed,” she wrote. “But when ur famous it’s just like ‘LOL U ASKED FOR THIS!!!!’ Some FUCK SHIT.”
Hopefully, they paparazzi cool off now that Evan is around.
