Hugh Jackman accused of sharing ‘propaganda’ pic

-

Hugh Jackman came under fire from fans on Twitter after sharing a photo of a protester hugging a police officer following the death of George Floyd during a brutal arrest.

Jackman came under fire for posting the picture showing a rioter and police officer uniting, along with the caption: “Solidarity.”

Fans immediatel­y hit out at the X-Men star, claiming he should be sharing pictures of police brutality during the riots instead, and criticizin­g him for saying it represents unity.

“This is so disappoint­ing.

You’re helping to spread propaganda,” one user responded. “If you want to share something, there’s plenty of images and videos of protests from around the world that don’t include PR opportunit­ies for police officers.”
