Without specifying which ongoing controversy provoked the post, the Peacock show issued a stern reminder that its cast members are 'real people.'
is a show inherently built on high emotions, offering as it does a carefully curated blend of, a high-stakes game of Mafia, and the daily anxiety of wondering how Alan Cumming is going to top his latest bizarre-but-cool outfit.
But there are, apparently, limits to how worked up the series wants its viewers to get, having had to break out the black background and theto not actually harass or cyberbully any of its contestants, who are, after all, “real people.” “We are committed to making our cast feel safe, respected, and supported—on screen and off,” the note begins. “The cast ofare real people, and what happens in the game should never lead to cyberbullying or harassment. There’s a difference between discussing a show and targeting individuals. Let’s not ruin the passion for this show with unwarranted negativity and personal attacks. We appreciate your support.”set of audience reactions have provoked this very sober request to simmer down; a lot of people are apparently unhappy, for instance, about the casting of formerColton Underwood on the show’s fourth and latest season, given allegations of stalking lodged against him a few years ago by former romantic partner Cassie Randolph, who he dated for two years after they met on. But, hey, maybe it’s the people upset at Michael Rappaport for telling Underwood that “nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you,” interpreted by many as a reference to the fact that Underwood was in the closet for many years of his public career. That’s the joy of reality TV: It’s a buffet of situations designed to provoke strong reactions both on-camera and from fans, at which point some PR person has to resort to an all-text “Please don’t actually commit harassment” reminder to try to quell the flames.
