While one Riverdale star got arrested while protesting the murder of George Floyd by police officers, another one is intentionally staying more quiet about the subject. Taking to Twitter on Sunday, June 14, KJ Apa defended his choice to not post about Black Lives Matter on social media. And while some fans are understanding of his viewpoint, others aren’t buying it.
It all started when YouTuber Elijah Daniel asked on Twitter why Apa wasn’t using his platform to speak about Black Lives Matter. Aside from posting a black square to commemorate Blackout Tuesday, Apa’s silence was especially notable to Daniel given the actor’s role in The Hate U Give, an important film about the dangers of police brutality on the Black community.
