LOS ANGELES, June 10 (UPI) — Colton Haynes has responded to fellow actor Noah Galvin on social media following The Real O’Neals stars expletive filled diss.
“It’s extremely ironic that only a month ago I was tweeting this kid & saying that he should win an Emmy for his work. Then today he returns the favor by calling me a [expletive] & and the worst to the entire world,” Haynes wrote on Instagram Thursday.
“Let me just clarify, I’ve never met this kid, so for him to judge me without even meeting & having no idea the struggles I’ve been through or where I come from is absolutely uncalled for and quite frankly embarrassing on his part,” the Arrow star continued.
“Since when is a three pg article in Entertainment Weekly not an appropriate way to come out? And since when did he become the judge of what’s appropriate. Shouldn’t we all be supporting each other? Enjoy all of your success. You’re young kid … hopefully you’ll eventually learn a thing or two. Good luck. I’m sure I’ll seeya around.”
The response comes after Galvin dismissed while speaking to Vulture Hayne’s recently released Entertainment Weekly article where he came out as gay. Galvin is also an openly gay actor.
After the profanity-laden rant was published, Galvin took to Twitter in order to apologize.”The entire interview I gave to Vulture has hurt the LGBTQ community and the industry I feel truly fortunate to be a part of,” Galvin tweeted on Thursday.
“My only intention was to try and empower and promote honesty, but I fully understand that comments I made were brazen and hurtful. To Colton Haynes and to the LGBTQ youth, especially those who have embraced our show, I have no right to dictate how or when anybody comes out of the closet; I know how difficult and scary the process of coming out can be, and the last thing I would ever want to do is make it scarier. For anyone,” he continued.
