\"Amazon'sAmazon\u2019s \u2018Off Campus\u2019 threatens to block fans over \u2018targeted harassment\u2019 of cast<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Video\u2019s team behind the popular roman series \u201cOff Campus\u201d has started a crack down on toxic fans.<\/p>\n

The team announced to block accounts that engage in \u201ctargeted harassment\u201d of cast members and their loved ones.<\/p>\n

The official statement reads: \u201cThe Off Campus community is built on shared love of storytelling, and on respect for the real people who bring it to life. Accounts that engage in targeted harassment will be removed from following our accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The strict action is taken following the breakup news of star Mika Abdallah, who announced her split from fianc\u00e9 Jake Short after a five-year relationship. The hatred intensified after a 2024 podcast clip resurfaced in which Short referred to Abdalla as \u201csome bitch.\u201d Fans quickly mobilised, directing criticism and harassment towards both individuals.<\/p>\n

Responding to online hate, the former couple also gave a joint statement, writing: \u201cWe were in a loving, respectful relationship for five years, and it\u2019s hurtful to see playful moments dissected in a way that does not reflect the respect and love we had and still have for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate statement, Short also took responsibility, posting on his Instagram stories: \u201cI made a disrespectful juvenile joke in a clip that recirculated this week. It\u2019s imperative to me that I take accountability, as I am aware that it was inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, the cast of the Amazon hit series \u201cThe Summer I Turned Pretty\u201d also received similar harassment. Amazon, then, warned fans: \u201cThe show isn\u2019t real but the people playing the characters are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon\u2019s \u2018Off Campus\u2019 threatens to block fans over \u2018targeted harassment\u2019 of cast Amazon Prime Video\u2019s team behind the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":496437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":["post-496436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
