The same user shared a screenshot of a message she’d sent detailing several allegations against White, which accuses him and his friends of “being predators and trying to manipulate girls into f*cking them or giving them nudes.”
They also alleged White would throw parties “to explicitly invite women they thought were hot so they could get them drunk and high enough to have sex with them, and lie about being high and drunk as well.”
They accused White of assaulting them at one of the parties, as well as one of their friends, and claimed he already has rape allegations against him.
Elsewhere in the thread, there are images that appear to show White nude, while others have replied with their own allegations of assault against him, including sleeping with a minor.
The thread has resulted in thousands of tweets with the #cancelpercy hashtag, with many asking for him to be removed from the next season of the Netflix series.
White has not addressed the allegations against him at the time of writing. Dexerto has reached out for comment.
