<\/p>\n

A star of the hit Netflix series Wednesday has reportedly been written out of the show after being accused of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n

In January, a series of tweets accused Canadian actor Percy Hynes White, 22, of alleged sexual activities with several women.<\/p>\n

Soon after some people on social media called for him to be removed from the show.<\/p>\n

Then, in June, the actor addressed the allegations, saying there had been a \u2018campaign of misinformation\u2019 and the claims were \u2018baseless and harmful\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, he now appears to have lost his job on The Addams Family spin-off, which stars Jenna Ortega and saw him play Xavier Thorpe, a student who has the ability to make his art come to life.<\/p>\n

A source close to Hynes White\u2019s family has indicated he will not be appearing on the second season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018Percy is wonderful young man, that\u2019s the truth,\u2019 they said.<\/p>\n

\u2018He never took part in any of the false claims again him, which were on Twitter and never followed up or substantiated.<\/p>\n

\u2018Percy is respectful, gracious, talented actor, a true professional. He\u2019s unfailingly polite to all, including the crew and his fans, most of whom are loyal to him as it should be,\u2019 they added when speaking to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

They continued: \u2018For Netflix to drop him from the show is a disgrace. It was just false rumours. It\u2019s just not right.\u2019<\/p>\n

Netflix has reportedly told the publication that the ongoing strikes in Hollywood have meant no decision on casting for the next season has been made.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hynes White and his parents, both of whom are actors and writers, have strongly denied the allegations since they first emerged.<\/p>\n

His father, actor and novelist Joel Thomas Hynes, 47, shared a statement in support of his son in recent months and said he was being \u2018wrongly accused\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used to quite blindly subscribe to the old adage that where there\u2019s smoke there must be fire,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u2018But if these past few months have made anything absolutely clear, it\u2019s that where there\u2019s smoke (even if there\u2019s a whole lot of it) sometimes that\u2019s all it is \u2013 smoke.\u2019<\/p>\n

He went on to say that the \u2018anonymous online hatred\u2019 left people prevented from speaking up for the \u2018wrongly accused\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018If publicly offering my support for my kind and gentle, massively talented son equates to me throwing myself to the wolves \u2013 so be it, come what may,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The post was also shared by Hynes-White\u2019s mum Sherry White, 52, a successful writer and film producer.<\/p>\n

The source added that the actor would be \u2018just fine\u2019 as people in the business \u2018know his character and talent\u2019.<\/p>\n

They also slammed Netflix and the team behind Wednesday and said they \u2018should be ashamed of themselves for treating him so unfairly\u2019.<\/p>\n
