😂😂😂 you know nothing Jon Snow- John Boyega December 31, 2019 He was standing up for what he believed in: tweeting about a Disney character played by himself laying pipe in another Disney character played by Daisy Ridley. Twitter user tweeted that Boyega “better stop” as he’s “worsening his image,” so Boyega broke out the cry-laughing emojis. You obviously don’t know the diffrence between a fictional world and reality.- John Boyega December 31, 2019 Boyega engaged with the tweet not by apologizing for the deeply un-Disney-like way of crudely sexualizing female Jedi and intergalactic role model Rey, but by responding: “You obviously don’t know the difference between a fictional world and reality.” You are a genius.” (The account that posted the original Insta caption is set to you re extremly disgusting and gross also fucking disrespectful.you cannot be this jealous of adam driver dudeĪs a black woman im fucking ashamed that someone like you represented us in star wars /RWc圆HtyVZ- Hannah Crogmen December 31, 2019įans on Twitter were disturbed by the language Boyega used to joke about his character sleeping with Daisy Ridley’s, who is meant to be an empowering Star Wars figure for young, female fans. Then, on Tuesday, Twitter user posted a screenshot of one of John Boyega’s Instagram comments, writing, “bro you re extremly disgusting and gross also fucking disrespectful…you cannot be this jealous of adam driver dude as a black woman im fucking ashamed that someone like you represented us in star wars.” It shows Boyega responding to a caption about Reylo (the ship name for Kylo Ren and Rey) with the comment: it’s not about who she kisses but who eventually lays the pipe.

He also seemed to call Kelly Marie Tran “weak” and “not mentally strong” in a Variety interview that touched on toxic trolling, although he later clarified his comments and apologized. Then, he told Hypebeast that Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi was “a bit iffy for me,” explaining that he did not “agree with a lot of the choices” in the 2017 film. First, his Star Wars script leaked to eBay and he totally owned up to it and joked about it on Good Morning America. (Rise of the Skywalker spoilers ahead.) For context, Boyega has been pretty loose and candid with fans and the press in the lead-up to this latest Star Wars installment, in a way that’s unexpected from a player in a major Disney production. Congrats to you.Īlso, boy do we have some catching up to do.

Oh, so you’re telling me you “went out” and “partied” with “friends” and “loved ones” to “celebrate New Year’s Eve” last night, and now you’re confused about why John Boyega is trending on Twitter? Firstly, that’s a flex. Photo: Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Disney
