Panka said she had received angry messages from fans about the cancellation of the shows and she asked that people consider how she is feeling at the moment. <\/p>\n
“I just wanted to address something because especially, for me, as a person of colour, and people are actively targeting black people.<\/p>\n
“I just really wanna ask people to think before they send me a DM because I haven’t left my house because I am scared to do so.<\/p>\n
“My blinds, I just opened them slightly to make this video, but they have been closed.”<\/p>\n
Panka said this was not a case of an actor being ill but it was a safety issue. <\/p>\n
“I’m just very careful because I’m not even from this country,” she said. <\/p>\n
“It’s not our choice to not come in. It’s a safety issue. And it’s not just for us, it’s for the audience and it’s for everyone who works at the theatre too.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Panka said she had received angry messages from fans about the cancellation of the shows and she asked…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-633253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
