Actor Percy Hynes White became internationally known for his role as Xavier Thorpe in the Netflix series 'Merlina', who plays a psychic student at Nevermore Academy who has an innate talent for painting: he can animate through his telekinesis.

However, the Canadian actor is involved in a controversy that could harm his artistic career and his life forever. Various users denounced the actor on social networks for sexual assault, racism, manipulation and sharing risqué photos without his consent.

It all started when the Twitter user, @milkievich, opened a thread pointing out what Hynes White's parties were like with his friends.

In the thread, she recounted that Percy Hynes White sexually assaulted her and many of her friends when he lived in Toronto. According to what he says, he met the actor from "Merlina" when he was between 17 and 20 years old, in addition, he revealed that both he and his friends had a reputation for being abusive towards women.

However, the girl also mentions that, at that time, Hynes White and his group organized parties where they allegedly invited young people with the intention of getting them drunk and abusing them when they were already drunk. As a result of these statements, many other affected people broke their silence and made similar statements that quickly went viral on that social network, since the name of the actor soon entered the trends.

Among the posts that have been published, it is also mentioned that the Canadian had racist behavior and used to manipulate his victims. In addition, it is mentioned that he created fake accounts to unleash misogynistic comments about him.

As a result of this, the Merlina actor is the subject of a movement on social networks that seeks his cancellation, exposing his cases of sexual harassment, racism, manipulation and misogyny.

At the moment, Hynes White has not officially addressed the issue, and all he has done is disable comments on his RR accounts. H.H. From Netflix, or some colleagues in the series, they have not issued statements in this regard either.
