On November 29, Lara got on a Weverse live broadcast and spoke about the hit Netflix show, among many other things. When commenting on the show, the HYBE star mentioned that Will — Schnapp’s character — looked “so hot” in the last scene.

A clip of the live was shared online, which triggered scathing responses due to Schnapp’s stance on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The actor was previously spotted sharing stickers that said “zionism is sexy.” As a result, Lara faced immediate backlash.

The backlash has seemingly reached the star, as she quickly issued a response to the accusations, saying she “was not sharing support for anything but the show.”

Oh hell nah guys, I am just a fan of the show! I was not aware about any of the actors’ backgrounds or stances. I was not sharing support for anything but the show, do not get it twisted! Thank you.

However, while the response has eased some fans’ concerns, it hasn’t been welcomed by many others.

Many have argued that Lara is too “online” not to know about Schnapp’s controversies.

Others have claimed that even supporting the show is not deemed the right thing to do.

Some have even pointed out that there was no apology in Lara’s response.
