DANIEL COLE / REUTERS Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams is on thin ice after a photo from his past resurfaced on social media. The photo shows Williams with black marker drawings all over his body, including what appears to be a swastika on his forehead. However, the Canadian actor, 25, wasn’t aware of what was drawn on him at the time, several sources close to Williams told TMZ . The sources told the tabloid that the marker drawings, which appeared on his body and clothes, were part of a high school “campout” tradition where inebriated teens drew offensive imagery on each other to elicit a reaction. “The markings do not and have never reflected Hudson’s beliefs, values, or character‚" a friend of Williams told the outlet. Multiple sources told TMZ that the actor “deeply regrets” the photo and “understands the hurt and disappointment” that it has caused, adding that “it’s completely unexcusable.” Williams shot to stardom as Shane Hollander in HBO Max’s queer hockey romance Heated Rivalry . The series earned a record-breaking 16 wins at the Canadian Screen Awards, including a Best Lead Performer recognition for Williams. Read it at TMZ Read more at The Daily Beast.
