François Arnaud is receiving an outpouring of support from fans after facing backlash and threats over rumours linking him romantically to co-star Connor Storrie. The Heated Rivalry actor was photographed with Storrie at JFK Airport, which sparked negative comments from viewers who do not want them together and instead prefer to see Storrie with his other co-star, Hudson Williams, in real life.
Following the harassment, Arnaud made the difficult decision to unfollow his co-stars and the creators of the TV show on social media. He later followed them again and even commemorated it with a humorous photo of Williams flipping his middle finger at the camera. Supporters have since rallied behind Arnaud, praising him for protecting his peace and condemning toxic fan behaviour.
