Actress Ayo Edebiri Responds to Elon Musk’s Controversial Tweet
Actress Ayo Edebiri recently revealed that she received severe death threats and racial slurs after Elon Musk shared a false report claiming she was set to replace Johnny Depp in a “Pirates of the Caribbean” reboot. Musk’s post led to significant backlash against Edebiri, prompting her to criticize him publicly.
Edebiri expressed her frustration on social media, highlighting the intense harassment she faced due to the misinformation. She referred to Musk as an “idiot” and criticized his actions, referencing previous controversial gestures he made.
The false casting rumor originated from unverified sources and was amplified by Musk’s platform, leading to widespread dissemination and subsequent harassment directed at Edebiri. This incident underscores the potential dangers of sharing unverified information on social media platforms.
Despite the negative experience, Edebiri addressed the situation with a degree of levity, sharing lighthearted exchanges about the unfounded casting rumors. The future of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise remains uncertain, with no official announcements regarding casting or production details.
