“Percy is respectful, gracious, talented actor, a true professional. He's unfailingly polite to all, including the crew and his fans, most of whom are loyal to him as it should be,” the statement further read.

“For Netflix to drop him from the show is a disgrace. It was just false rumors. It's just not right.”

Hynes wrote, “Earlier this year, somebody I've never met started a campaign of misinformation about me online.”

He continued, “Because of this, my family has been doxxed, and my friends have received death threats. Underage photos of me were used, and examples of me acting in character were presented as hateful.”
