In a statement, he called the show a “tribute to victims who have been wrongly accused.”

He further added, “I think brands should take a stand and set an example by working with the people who have been falsely accused of sexual harassment, to support them and clear their name.”

This triggered a controversy on social media and the actor was slammed for being insensitive on the matter.
