Amandla Stenberg as Osha in The Acolyte
In a deeply personal and heartfelt series of stories shared on Instagram, The Acolyte star Amandla Stenberg opened up about the intense backlash and negativity the series faced, both before and after its release, ultimately leading to its untimely cancellation. Speaking candidly, Stenberg addressed what they described as a "rampage of vitriol" that they and the show encountered from certain sections of the online community.
Stenberg highlighted the harmful nature of the backlash, which they attributed to "hyper-conservative bigotry and betrayal, prejudiced hatred and hateful language." They acknowledged that while they had expected some level of criticism, the sheer volume and intensity were far beyond what she had anticipated.
Stenberg also took a moment to pay tribute to the people they worked closely with on the show, particularly the series' creator, Leslye Headland. "I have to thank Leslye Headland, who just—excuse my French—she’s just one of the best and most talented people in the world. I think she's so incredibly talented and unique and kind, and I'll love her forever, and I fucking love that bitch," she said.
