Hudson Williams<\/a>‘ 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.<\/p>\n

Posts on Peloton’s social media, including Facebook and YouTube, that used to feature Hudson are no longer active and take users to a broken link.<\/p>\n

As we first reported, sources close to Hudson insisted he had no clue<\/a> what was being drawn on him at the time … claiming the symbol was scribbled on by other intoxicated teens during an annual “campout” prank.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A friend of Hudson’s told TMZ, “The markings do not and have never reflected Hudson’s beliefs, values, or character.”<\/p>\n

Actor Simu Liu<\/a> also defended<\/a> Hudson, saying … “The internet is insane. Bad actors are everywhere. If you’re here, be careful. Be smart.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It’s not all bad news for Hudson. Amid the controversy, he and costar Connor Storrie<\/a> just earned a nomination for Individual Achievement in Drama for “Heated Rivalry” at the 2026 Television Critics’ Association Awards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hudson Williams Peloton Scrubs Actor From Socials … After Swastika Photo Resurfaces Published June 12, 2026 11:42 AM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":635641,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-635640","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\/635640","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=635640"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635640\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/635641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
