Hudson Williams‘ high school swastika photo appears to have caused a stir … with Peloton scrubbing the actor from their social media after the image resurfaced online … TMZ has learned.
Posts on Peloton’s social media, including Facebook and YouTube, that used to feature Hudson are no longer active and take users to a broken link.

As we first reported, sources close to Hudson insisted he had no clue what was being drawn on him at the time … claiming the symbol was scribbled on by other intoxicated teens during an annual “campout” prank.
A friend of Hudson’s told TMZ, “The markings do not and have never reflected Hudson’s beliefs, values, or character.”
Actor Simu Liu also defended Hudson, saying … “The internet is insane. Bad actors are everywhere. If you’re here, be careful. Be smart.”

On social media, people claiming to have attended school with Hudson have defended him too … claiming lots of peers had offensive drawings on their faces during the annual camp outing.

Several users on X have also come to the actor’s defense. “I Stand With Hudson Williams” has become a trending topic on the platform, with fans voicing their support.
It’s not all bad news for Hudson. Amid the controversy, he and costar Connor Storrie just earned a nomination for Individual Achievement in Drama for “Heated Rivalry” at the 2026 Television Critics’ Association Awards.
