Gavin Casalegno has spoken out for the first time to the wave of online backlash against his character Jeremiah in The Summer I Turned Pretty, amid growing fan hostility during the show's third season.
Since the latest episodes of the Amazon Prime series began airing, many viewers have rallied behind Conrad (played by Christopher Briney). Meanwhile Jeremiah, Belly's current fiancé, has become a regular target of criticism and jokes online. Viral TikToks have mocked his wedding cake scene, and memes have branded him 'the most hated boyfriend on the internet'. For Casalegno, however, it's all part of the job — and not something he takes personally.
