What’s up y’all, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News, and Noah Schnapp has issued
a lengthy apology on Twitter after fans attempted to ‘cancel’ him, but many are confused
as to what he’s actually being canceled for, so let’s break this all down.
Cancel culture strikes again, this time aimed directly at Noah Schnapp, as some of his fans
are calling him out for allegedly supporting a “transphobic slut-shamer” by the Twitter
name of Hyler, and being a bad friend to his fellow Stranger Things costar and BFF, Millie
Bobby Brown.
As many of you might already know, Millie and Noah have been the best of friends since
starring on the hit Netflix series together, as Noah has even revealed that he and Millie
have helped each other through many “dark times” in the past.
So what exactly went down between Noah and Millie, and who is this ‘Hyler’ girl that
fans keep mentioning?
Let’s go back to the beginning -- according to many fans, Hyler is a teen girl who has
befriended Noah and runs the popular Instagram fan account called @NoahSchnappedMyHeart.
Fans have been weary about Hyler’s antics and motives, considering it has been rumored
that she claimed that someone edited Noah’s Wikipedia page saying that he and Hyler are
dating, made jokes about Noah being trans, slut-shamed Millie and ordered merch from
his own school, among many other borderline creepy things.
Another fan is alleging that Hyler has been attempting to turn Noah against all his other
fans, including one by the name of Imelda, who had a now-deleted spam account of all
things Noah, to which she allowed a fellow Noah fan to follow, thinking it was a safe
space.
That’s when Hyler turned on Imelda and showed Noah the things she was saying about him on
her private spam account, to which the two fans went back and forth via Instagram DM.
Imelda chimed in and shared screenshots of a conversation between her and Noah, which
Noah pointed out that some of her spam account comments revolved around wanting to cancel
him and slapping him across the face.
Fans began chiming in, taking Imelda’s side, and urging Noah to cut off all contact with
Hyler, who’s been nothing but toxic among the fanbase.
One user wrote, “noah schnapp, if you're reading this.
DONT SKIP. unfollow hyler.
Please.
SHE was the one who leaked your merch. she slut shamed millie, YOUR BEST FRIEND. she
spread lies about other people in the fandom.
She talked bad about Imelda behind her back.
And that’s the person you’re friends with?!
I'm disappointed in you noah. as a former stan. i’m so disappointed.
you can do better than this.”
Another fan wrote, “Noah Schnapp really supports a transphobe, slut shaming creepy
stalker fan over his thousands of other fans, like shady tweets dissing his own fans, and
got himself trending over it.”
Both Noah and Hyler seem to have gotten word of all the backlash to which Hyler took to
Instagram earlier this week to issue an apology regarding the trans comments about Noah and
about slut-shaming Millie.
Hyler previously compared Millie to her costar Sadie Sink on social media, saying QUOTE,
“A 14-year-old girl that wears a bralet without a shirt on steals all the attention
in interviews, has a homophobic brother and dates a boy that cheated on her.”
In her apology, Hyler wrote, “The Millie post.
There is no excuse for that, there isn’t any.
Shaming anyone for what they wear is not ok in any way shape or form.
I should know better.”
On Wednesday, fans were shocked to see a video of Noah appear on Hyler’s fan page, in an
attempt to speak with his close fans versus the millions of Twitter followers.
In his post, Noah addressed a previous situation in which many thought he was financially supporting
the controversial TikToker Peaches, and he also added (and shortly after deleted) the
portion of the caption that stated he had talked things over with Imelda, but that Hyler
doesn’t deserve to be given death threats.
He’s clearly digging himself into a much deeper hole because this infuriated fans,
who seem to have reached their breaking point with him.
One user wrote, “HE CROSSED THE F***ING LINE HE DID NOT TALK IT OUT WITH IMELDA, THEY’RE
NOT ON GOOD TERMS, HE’S DEFENDING HYLER.”
Alright, so hopefully you’re still following along because NOW is where Noah’s own apology
from his OWN Twitter account comes into play.
If you don’t follow Hyler’s account you’re probably confused as to what caused Noah to
issue a 10-tweet-long apology about “hurting people”.
But now that you’re all caught up, Noah started by saying, “first i want to apologize
for hurting anyone at all.
u all matter most to me.
ik some of u guys feel like ur feelings are being invalidated.
which i'm sorry for.
I never meant to defend anybody's actions.
It's just the hate for everyone has been so draining and it’s hard to manage.
i never wanted to invalidate ANYONE'S feelings but please remember we have to keep everyone’s
feelings in mind.
but i do apologize that you all felt like i betrayed you in a way.”
Noah also addressed Millie, saying, “I'm sorry if you felt like i wasn’t thinking
abt u guys.
And this, to everyone saying I'm a bad friend to millie.
I've talked to her already and she isn’t offended in any way.
i love her, she’s my best friend.”
He added, “What hyler said wasn’t right at all and it’s not my place to excuse any
of that behavior.
but I'm speaking mainly on me and millie: we’ve been close forever and have been there
for eachother during dark times.
so please don’t speak on the friendship like you guys know it.”
In his final tweet, Noah wrote, “please remember i love you all so much and i just
felt like i owed u all an apology.
I just wanted to be kind to everyone.
anyways, like i was planning to do.
I'm getting off the grid for a while, I feel like it’s most definitely needed.
Thank you all for understanding.”
I think we can all agree that taking some time away from social media would probably
be best for Noah and his fanbase…
Especially considering he was previously slammed by fans for allegedly defending TikTok star
Lil Huddy AKA Chase Hudson for saying the n-word in a video back in May, when he commented
on one of Chase’s videos saying, “I’m sorry you get so much hate” and that “I
have so much respect for you.”
Regarding Noah’s recent apology, some fans have expressed their love for him despite
getting caught up in fandom drama.
One fan wrote, “Noah, you really deserve all the happiness in the world, YOU are the
most important thing to us and i still do not understand how people can hate a being
as kind as you are, it hurts me so much to see what the ppl tell you and the way they
hate you that yesterday.”
However, it was the same fan who also admitted that she needed to step away from the fandom
likely for similar reasons, adding, “I had to leave the fandom bc i couldn't take it
anymore.
I'm disappointed with you, yes, but you don't deserve anything that is happening, we all
make mistakes.”
