My lowkey fav thing about To All The Boys Ive Loved Before is watching people on twitter think they love Josh and then doing their research and realizing that @israelbroussard is a Trump supporter and hella racist
This week, the actor issued an apology on Twitter for his own series of tweets as well as posts he liked containing various other racist sentiments.
Insisting he was ‘deeply sorry’, Israel said he took full responsibility for his action and is seeking to educate himself on various matters.
I am deeply sorry for my inappropriate and insensitive words and likes on social media. I take full responsibility for my actions and I sincerely apologise. This has been a pivotal life lesson for me. I am dedicated to becoming a more informed and educated version of myself. Much love – Israel.
