Hugh Jackman Canceled: Actor SLAPPED With Hateful Messages For Controversial BLM Post
Social media is blasting Hugh Jackman for his insensitive post following the mass demonstrations that caused outrage across the U.S. and other countries.
For more than a week now, thousands of protesters marched on the streets to voice their grievances against racial oppression and humanitarian issues after the death of African-American man George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police.
Several celebrities and prominent personalities took a stand and threw their support behind the nationwide campaign, the Black Lives Matter movement.
Hugh Jackman Blasted For Pro-Police Propaganda
Unfortunately, the "X-Men" star had somehow missed the point after he was slammed by netizens for pro-police publicity.
This came after the 51-year-old Aussie actor took to social media to post an anti-racism stance with a photo of a cop hugging a black protestor with a caption "Solidarity."
To recall, Jackman was seen on numerous occasions with Trump's daughter over the last couple of years.
In 2018, the Golden Globe winner and his wife were spotted leaving their New York City apartment alongside the 38-year-old Trump. A week later, Ivanka and her husband also attended the actor's 50th birthday celebration in West Village.
Although he had good intentions behind his post -- due to the ongoing tension with the political climate and a "pandemic of racism" -- it's pretty obvious why most of the fans saw it in another light and were sensitive about the issue.
It all came after the 46-year-old unarmed Floyd was pinned down to the ground by four Minneapolis police officers. A police officer named Derek Chauvin was also caught on cam kneeling on Flyd's neck for more than eight minutes.
According to the 20-page report by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office, Floyd's cause of death was "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression."
Following his death, Chauvin was charged with second-degree murder in addition to the previous his manslaughter charge.
Three other police officers were charged with aiding and abetting the murder where the bail was set at $1 million but might be lowered to $750,000.
