These Celebs Were Canceled For Their Political Beliefs

Hartley Sawyer

The internet never forgets. Years before Hartley Sawyer joined CW’s The Flash, the talented actor posted a series of derogatory tweets that came to haunt him eight years later. The tweets, dated 2012 and 2014, reference racial discrimination, sexual assault, and homophobia. Fans rallied behind a hashtag that called for the actor’s sacking, and CW bowed to pressure announcing that Hartley wouldn’t be part of Season 7. The actor later apologized, terming the tweets an attempt at gaining fame back in his amateur days.
