After the premiere of the series "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi" last week, the African-American actress Moses Ingram was racially abused on social media.
“There are hundreds of those kinds.
Hundreds!” The twenty-eight-year-old announced on Tuesday night on Instagram after sharing copies of the insults with fans.
Although she is aware that she cannot do anything about the verbal attacks, she does not want to accept the attacks without comment.
"I'm just not the type for that," Ingram said.
Meanwhile, producers of the Disney+ series threw their weight behind the actress, who took on the role of armed inquisitor Reva Sevander in the 'Star Wars' sequel.
"If anyone wants to make Moses Ingram feel unwelcome, all we have to say is we stand up," the producers tweeted.
Ewan McGregor also took sides.
“We love Moses.
I don't think anyone who sends her malicious messages is a true 'Star Wars' fan," the 51-year-old actor, who reprises the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the series, clarified in an Instagram video.
