Caitriona Balfe is speaking out in support of Sam Heughan after he released an open letter to fans in which he addressed the bullying he’s been subjected to for six years.
The Outlander actor said that people have been making up false stories about him for years, including right now amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Make sure to read the full open letter that Sam released.
“Sad that Sam has had to come out and say all this. I would have thought mean bitchy behaviour would have been left in the school yard. But unfortunately a VERY SMALL but very vocal part of this fandom use their energy to write and say awful untrue things … maybe they should harness all that energy to get involved in their local charities,” Caitriona wrote on Twitter in response to the story.
She added, “And honestly it’s quite simple … If you don’t like us .. it’s a big beautiful world out there. Find something you do love and enjoy that. Life as it’s all too clear right now is short. Why waste it hating.”
