The actor denied being Mr. Fantasy despite many believing him to be the man behind the ill-fitting wig and fake teeth
After all of his friends partied on Mr. Fantasy’s “Do Me Right” video without him, KJ Apa is saying “enough is enough.”
Apa, who is believed by many fans online to be the man behind the shoddy wig, plastic sunnies, and fake teeth, set the record straight on Monday. Although he insisted he usually doesn’t do this, Apa took to social media and alluded to the celebrity-stuffed video — which features cameos from his former Riverdale co-stars, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, and Madelaine Petsch — and claimed the whole charade has been “hurting me and my career.” He continued, “There was recently a music video that was released that included a bunch of people who are really close to me by a guy who’s completely and utterly stolen my image and misappropriated my image and my likeness, and I think we all know who we’re talking about, and it’s fucked up.” Apa also lamented that he “lost on a huge job and can no longer go in for serious work because people think that I’m a joke because of this guy.”
After seemingly addressing Mr. Fantasy’s remarkable knack for copying his likeness and even tattoos, Apa concluded his video by speaking to the alleged culprit directly: “This person advocates for positivity and for kindness and for all of this stuff. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you’re not a fucking liar and a thief, because that’s exactly what you are.”
We sure hope Apa gets to the bottom of this case of stolen identity. Until then, he’ll have to endure his buddies (Sombr, Rob Lowe, Dave Franco, Alex Warren, Zoey Deutch, Nick Jonas, and Patrick Schwarzenegger, we see you) hanging out with the so-called imposter for a little bit longer.
