I think I've made a post or two in the past talking about the abuse that Leah suffered after being cast as Annabeth. But in general, since I'm 21 and a majority of the actors on the Percy Jackson Disney show are minors, I try to avoid talking about them online outside of occasionally complimenting their performances. I don't follow any of them on any social media, and overall, I don't think it's my place as a full grown adult to comment or provide any kind of feedback on them.
That being said, the Walker Scobell situation came to my attention thanks to some reblogs done by my mutuals. I know I'm late on commenting on the incident, but since there has been a repeated pattern of PJO cast members receiving death threats and other horrific online abuse, I wanted to provide concrete actions that could be taken so as to better protect these kids. Although this post is inspired by the abuse that PJO cast members have experiences, these are actions that can be taken regarding the safety of any cast.
If you see death threats/know an account that sends death threats:
You can anonymously report it to the Disney Production Safety Hotline. There are a few ways you can do this.
The Disney Production Safety Hotline Number: The phone number is 888-757-6375. You can leave an anonymous voice message.
The Report It Website: Go to this website and enter the code "SAFED" to make an anonymous report to Disney. There's also an app.
Direct Contact: You can directly contact the senior manager (email address here), or the vice president for Disney Production Safety (email address here).
If the actor in question does not work for Disney, there's still ways to report. Here is a list of all Production Safety hotlines and contacts for all studios.
When you make the report, make it as detailed as possible. Include screenshots, links, etc.
I'm know it can feel shitty and like you're snitching on a fellow fan to do this. It's not fun to have to deal with corporate bullshit like this. But the feelings of fans can't come at the cost of the safety and wellbeing of real life actors, and this "fun" (or whatever you want to call it) has real and lasting consequences. We've seen that all too clearly many times before, with Walker only being the most recent example of this.
I also know that a lot of people like to blame the actors for the abuse they face, claiming that they "signed up for this" when they "decided to become famous." I've also seen people try to justify it by pointing to the "problematic" things that an actor has done or is accused of doing. To put it simply, that's complete and utter bullshit. Even if 100% of these accusations are true, everyone is entitled to their safety, regardless of their past actions. This is especially true for minor actors.
If you see something, say something.
