Ayo Edebiri Receives Death Threats After False Depp Replacement Report
Following Elon Musk’s sharing of a false report claiming Ayo Edebiri’s casting in a *Pirates of the Caribbean* reboot, Edebiri received a torrent of online abuse, including death threats and racial slurs. The false report originated from a right-wing account with no industry credibility, yet Musk’s endorsement fueled the harassment. Edebiri’s public condemnation of Musk’s actions highlights the dangerous consequences of spreading misinformation and the actor’s subsequent support from Bill Burr. A *Pirates of the Caribbean* reboot is in development, but Edebiri’s involvement was entirely fabricated.
