Black Panther” trolls have shared images of actual women who have been assaulted and wrote that the incidents happened at “Black Panther” movies at the hands of young black people — which have been proved to be false.
In one image, a user shared an actual photo of former White House staffer Rob Porter’s ex-wife sporting a black eye with the caption:
“Went to the #BlackPanther premier tonight and my wife was assaulted. Three black women approached us and one said ‘This movie ain’t for you white b****’ and then attacked her. Security escorted us to the parking lot and we left. We just wanted to see a movie.”
Another graphic image shows a bloodied teen with the caption:
“i went to see #BlackPanther with my gf and a black teenager shouted ‘u at the wrong theater’ and smashed a bottle on her face.”
The image is actually of a 19-year-old from Sweden, who was attacked by a man at a nightclub in Malmö after refusing his advances.
On Saturday, “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn tweeted about the fake posts, writing,
Don’t let this BS scare you away. ❤””The racists are out and rearing their ugly heads with lots of fake tweets about violence at #BlackPanther screenings,” he wrote. “In truth, people from all walks of life have been enjoying the film together this weekend.”
