\n\tThe Summer I Turned Pretty<\/a> actor Gavin Casalegno<\/a> is aware his character Jeremiah is not beloved by the internet masses.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a recent interview with The New York Times<\/a>, the YA star reflected on the particular ire his Fisher brother draws from both viewers and even social media accounts of certain brands that proclaim themselves \u201cTeam Conrad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey tend to dislike him, yes. I don\u2019t check Instagram anymore, so I really haven\u2019t seen that much hate,\u201d Casalegno said. \u201cThe only thing that I see is my sister sending me the memes that are really funny. I think it\u2019s important to also understand and realize that this is a fictional story \u2014 and it\u2019s also not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a single human being in the world who can carry the emotional negativity to the degree that stuff like this happens. And I think that\u2019s why Amazon did a good job of stepping in and being like, \u2018Hey, no bullying.\u2019 Though, not really going so well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCasalegno is referring to a PSA posted by the show\u2019s official social media account<\/a> ahead of the Season 3 premiere, which advocated for keeping conversation around the show \u201ckind\u201d and reaffirmed a \u201cZERO tolerance policy\u201d on hate speech, bullying and targeting of cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor also noted that, in real life, people have approached him to say how much they hate Jeremiah: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty comical,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdapted from Jenny Han<\/a>\u2019s best-selling trilogy, the dramedy stars Lola Tung<\/a> as Belly, caught between childhood love Conrad (Christopher Briney<\/a>) and his brother Jeremiah. Season 3 centers around the upcoming nuptials between the now collegiate Belly and Jeremiah. Episode 7 of the junior installment aired last Thursday, with a scheduled weekly release lasting until the series finale Sept. 17. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the latest episode (spoilers ahead), Belly and Jeremiah\u2019s respective bachelorette and bachelor parties ended direly: Not only did Belly confront her latent feelings for Conrad, who she realized coaxed her mom Laurel (Jackie Chung) into agreeing to partake in her wedding to Jeremiah, but the revelation of her fianc\u00e9\u2019s cheating led to a blowout fight between the two exes on the cool shores of Cousins Beach. Though Conrad confesses his love for Belly and begs her not to marry his brother, she rejects him, before breaking down in tears away from the scene. Jeremiah, who missed the couple\u2019s planned rendezvous, is sleeping soundly after having had too much to drink, leaving Belly to cuddle up next to her best friend Taylor (Rain Spencer) as she reels from what happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Summer I Turned Pretty actor Gavin Casalegno is aware his character Jeremiah is not beloved by the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[16296,88,16297,10551,10552,7048,10553],"class_list":["post-105977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-christopher-briney","tag-entertainment","tag-gavin-casalegno","tag-jenny-han","tag-lola-tung","tag-prime-video","tag-the-summer-i-turned-pretty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
