There’s been absolutely no dirst on Riverdale star Charles Melton while he’s been in the spotlight… until now!
Fans being the investigative detectives that they are have found some old tweets from Charles, which show him fat-shaming women.
The tweets have of course since been deleted, but the internet never forgets!!!
The deleted tweets from his verified account read, “Fat chicks need to understand that wearing yoga pants is a privilege, not a right.”
Wow.
Another tweet reads, “Don’t tease fat kids, they already have enough on their plates…”
Another: “I find it hilarious when fat people say they need to start eating right. When they have already mastered the art of chewing and swallowing.”
Wow.
One tweet even has the hashtag “#getYourChunkyA**OnTheTreadmillThen.”
The tweets were written in 2011 and 2012, way before Charles became famous… but that doesn’t mean he can just get away with it, and fans are making sure of that.
One person wrote, “Those ugly Charles Melton tweets are from 2012 he would’ve been 21 WOW a whole adult [and] still being that much of a d*** we’ve unstanned bye.”
Another wrote, “Charles Melton disgusts me. I’ve struggled with my body my whole life, and never feeling comfortable with my weight. And just seeing someone I used to support say such awful things so carelessly, not only makes me furious but it makes me feel even more self conscious.”
Since the backlash, Charles has issued an apology online.
“I’m truly sorry for making inconsiderate comments several years ago and apologise to anyone I hurt,” he told Us Weekly in a statement. “What I posted and said was immature, offensive and inappropriate. I am ashamed of how I acted and there is no excuse for that behaviour. I’m striving to do better and will use this experience to grow, helping others to understand how these types of statements are completely unacceptable.”
