Ayo Edebiri Faces Online Onslaught After Musk Spreads Fake Rumour

American actress and comedian, Ayo Edebiri found herself at the center of a social media firestorm after billionaire Elon Musk amplified a baseless rumour alleging she was set to replace Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

The misinformation, originally posted by a right-wing account, gained traction after Musk shared it with a dismissive comment: “Disney sucks.”

Musk’s post triggered a wave of online vitriol, with Edebiri receiving death threats and racist abuse from enraged users. The Bear star addressed the controversy, criticizing Musk for his role in spreading the falsehood, calling him both a “fascist” and an “idiot.”

Despite the onslaught, Edebiri remains focused on her career, with upcoming roles in the psychological thriller Opus and the highly anticipated live-action Barney film.

This incident highlights the dangerous ripple effect of misinformation in the digital age, particularly when amplified by influential figures, and raises concerns about accountability in social media discourse.
