Percy Haynes White, the 21-year-old Canadian actor currently starring alongside Jenna Ortega in the hit Netflix series Xavier Thorpe, is accused by several women of a series of serious acts of sexual harassment he allegedly committed with his friends some years ago.

It is important to note that as of the writing of these lines, the reports come from media outlets abroad and on the web. Although they have no factual basis on the part of officials, the threads that began to be published last week in forums on various websites are enough to create an uproar around the player, including calls for his boycott, which led many fans of the series to contact her co-star and Haynes White's colleague, Jenna Ortega, with a request that she address the serious allegations.
The reports began with a tweet posted last week by a Twitter user named Milkievich, to which she attached the hashtag CancelPercy, in which she pointed an accusing finger at the actor and his friends, claiming they had sexually harassed young girls at parties and social events they attended. Long and loaded, the surfer shares the problematic personality profile of the actor, whose behavior she says began at the age of 15, when he lived in Toronto.

"He and his friends were known as manipulative predators who pressured girls, including their partners, to sleep with them or send them nude photos," she wrote.
She continued to unmask the harassment and serious acts allegedly committed by the actor with his friends.
"They were rude, aggressive and rude to the girls. When they got older, he started throwing parties in the basement when he and his friends pre-marked girls who they thought were hot for the clear purpose of paying and drugging them, then getting them to sleep with them and then lie about it," she wrote, adding an even more serious accusation : "From what I know, this is something he did between the ages of 17-21. He drugged one of my friends when she was 13 or 14. They also slept when she was 16 and he was 20. He also attacked me when I was drunk for one of these reasons."
"He harassed and sexually assaulted several of my friends. There are already accusations of rape against him, and he just laughed at them and shared their nude photos online against their will," she wrote.
In the thread that developed following the original tweet, disturbing partially nude photos of Haynes White were also attached, which he allegedly sent to the girls he harassed along with his friends.
After the original tweet gained exposure to more than 10 million users on Twitter, with tens of thousands of likes and hundreds of comments, other similar stories surfaced from female surfers who claimed that they were also victims of the exploits of the actor and his friends.
Those surfers expressed deep shock and disgust against those who insist on coming to the defense of Haynes White and continue to admire him.
The actor or any other official on his behalf or on behalf of the law enforcement officials have not yet officially addressed the serious allegations.
On top of that, alongside the uproar against the actor, other netizens expressed reservations about the serious accusations, with some even claiming that it was a false plot and a forgery.
The tweet that started it all:

While Hines White has yet to officially respond to the matter and blocked the possibility of responding to some of his posts on his Instagram account (where he has more than 5.2 million followers), a petition was circulated on the network calling for him to be banned from the new season of the series and to open an investigation against him.
At the same time, Ortega began to experience a flood of comments on her Instagram posts.
Along with many netizens who were angry at those who came out against her due to the fact that she chooses to remain silent and not to respond to the serious accusations directed at her, there were also many who demanded that she let it go and stop the attack against her, as it is not fair according to them that she will give judgment or experience hatred due to the acts allegedly committed by the star by her side.
Waiting for her words.
