Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams Sparks Backlash for Old Swastika Photo
Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams, Katelyn Larson Step Out With His Parents at Canadian Screen Awards
Hudson Williams is getting some heat over an old high school photo.
The Heated Rivalry star is facing backlash after a picture resurfaced online showing a young Williams covered in markings made by a permanent marker, including a swastika on his forehead.
A source close to Williams told TMZ that the 25-year-old was unaware of what was being drawn on him at the time of the photo, which was taken during a high school trip where graduating seniors participate in an annual tradition of doodling on each other with markers. Other sources described the incident to the outlet as a group of underage kids doing “dumb things” and said that Williams now deeply regrets the hurt he may have caused.
As an unnamed friend of Williams said, “The markings do not and have never reflected Hudson’s beliefs, values, or character.”
E! News has reached out a rep for Williams for comment but has not yet heard back.
