Why is Hudson Williams being called racist online? Alleged burner account explained

Hudson Williams faces backlash after an alleged burner Instagram account sparked racist slur controversy online

Heated Rivalry actor Hudson Williams is facing renewed controversy online after social media users accused him of operating an alleged Instagram burner account containing offensive language and racial slurs.

The backlash began after fans claimed to have discovered a private account allegedly linked to Williams. According to screenshots circulating online, the account reportedly used the display name “AKA THE CHIGGAS,” which several users interpreted as a combination of racial slurs targeting Asian and Black communities. The alleged account quickly became a trending topic across X and TikTok, with many users criticising the actor and questioning his past public statements against discrimination.

Social media users further alleged that the account’s username and display name were later changed before the profile was reportedly deleted entirely. However, no official confirmation has been provided proving the account belonged to Williams.

The controversy has reignited debate surrounding the actor, who previously faced online attention over alleged “queerbaiting” accusations and a separate Letterboxd controversy earlier in 2026. At the time, Williams denied claims that a viral Letterboxd account posting harsh celebrity reviews belonged to him.

Williams also previously spoke out against racism and online harassment after facing abuse related to his Korean heritage. In an Instagram statement shared earlier this year, the actor condemned racist, homophobic and hateful behaviour online, telling followers not to spread “bigoted comments of any kind.”

Following the latest allegations, reactions online have remained divided. Some users criticised the actor and accused him of hypocrisy, while others defended him and questioned whether the screenshots and burner account claims had been fully verified.

As of now, Hudson Williams has not publicly responded to the latest controversy.
