LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tenoch Huerta took the internet by storm after sexual allegations against him came to light. The Marvel star, who most recently appeared in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ as Namor, has been accused by famous saxophonist and acid attack survivor, Maria Elena Rios. The news has been out for less than a day, and people all over the globe haven’t been able to stop talking about it. By the looks of it, the internet remains divided.
While some fans and the general audience are angry, confused, and frustrated over yet another Marvel star being accused, and yes, we are talking about Jonathan Majors in this context. Other fans of Huerta, who have loved his work on and off-screen, have rushed to his support as Rios provided no evidence to back up her claims. As several comments and tweets emerge every waking moment, fans insist that everyone believes the notion of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’
‘I’ll wait for the facts’
While the outrage on social media platforms is evident, Huerta’s fans have rushed to support him and rally against the claims made against him by Rios. Some tweets have been loosely translated from Spanish, since the actor has a massive fan base in his home country, Mexico. As one fan tweets, “Of course, it is obliged to respond when you first make a complaint on networks instead of making it before the competent authority. You can't accuse someone without proof.” The general consensus remains that the saxophonist made these claims without any proof, as another person tweets, “I’m not going to judge Tenoch Huerta, innocent until proven guilty. I’ll wait for the facts before I form an opinion.” And of course, some people remain frustrated over the ongoing cancel culture in Hollywood as one tweet reads, “JFC again with the cancel culture bullshit,… Tenoch Huerta is 100% innocent until PROVEN guilty.. did we learn NOTHING from Amber Heard people? FFS.”
'Did we forget what happened to Johnny Depp?'
While Twitter has been a great outlet for fans to let out their frustrations against these complaints and support Huerta, his Instagram comment section has been rather lively. Unlike many other celebrities, Huerta hasn’t turned off commenting on his posts, giving fans yet another outlet to speak their minds. On Huerta’s most recent Instagram post, one fan wrote, “Why tf are ya’ll coming for him like it’s a fact?? Being accused and being proven guilty are 2 different things. OR DID WE FORGET WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHNNY DEPP?? YA’LL SO QUICK TO SWITCH UP AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR!!! GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO PROVE HIMSELF FIRST!!! INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!! Women lie for attention as well!!! Until he is proven guilty you cannot treat him as if tho he is!!!” Another fan compares his situation to other actors of color in Hollywood who have faced the same issue, as they write, “And besides: why is it always POC getting accused after a breakthrough role? Not suspicious at all. Innocent until proven guilty. Period!” On the same post, another comment reads, “You guys are acting that he was proven guilty. You have to wait and see if it’s the truth anyone can be lying.” Huerta’s fans continue to wait for more evidence and updates as they stand by him, waiting for him to react.
