(CNN) – “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri said she has received racist comments and death threats because of Elon Musk.
Edebiri posted to Instagram that, about a year ago, a post falsely claimed that she was being considered to replace Johnny Depp in a new “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie.
She said Musk amplified the post on X and commented that “Disney sucks.”
Edebiri said that after Musk’s post, she received what she called “the most insane death threats and racial slurs,” even though the story was fake.
She also criticized the media, saying to stop making her Instagram stories news and that she’s just “tryna have a silly goofy time.”
