i haven’t seen a thread on joshua bassett being problematic so here’s a thread
tw // homophobia, racism, sexual assault

said the f slur (later apologized, but said it was a joke)
*should be noted that he deleted the comment before anyone called him out for it, these aren’t my screenshots i saw them on the tl

didn’t speak up for blm for over a WEEK, was the last hsmtmts cast member to speak up. his manager also blocked anyone who called him out, causing several people in the hsmtmts cast to unfollow him (i believe it was sofia, dara, and julia; i’m not positive though!)
has 3 sexual assault allegations currently, he spoke out about one of the three (the first one could be considered statutory rape.)
*should be noted that he spoke out faster about these than blm!

in his tweets talking about the situation, he dehumanizes the victim and he tells people to “be kind and be good”, which seems out of place for a sexual assault allegation to me.
he went to a gun range with his siblings + she posted about it in the middle of blm
*should be noted that his entire family is republican.

there have been rumors of him saying the n word at his youth theater group, however these are unconfirmed so take this with a grain of salt.
also, he’s just an egotistical dick in general. this doesn’t make him problematic, he’s just a douche.
if you have anything to add, or receipts please add them below!
to add to this in case it gets lost in the replies, @ladybivd pointed out that he “apologized” for his past racist behavior, but took over a week to speak out about blm. if he had truly changed, he would’ve spoken out faster.
i wanted to say that you can disagree all you want, but i will always believe the victims first and foremost. i'm tired of arguing with people about this. i no longer support joshua, but you can support an abuser all you want. this thread is now muted.
if anyone needs any proof about his family being republicans. all this information is public. taylor and laura are his parents.
the first screenshot shows his siblings - ashley, alison, winter, hannah, and claire. once again, all this information is public.
