"Hartley Sawyer will not be returning for season 7 of" Warner Bros. Television, The CW, Berlanti Productions, and executive producer Eric Wallace said in a statement. "In regards to Mr. Sawyer’s posts on social media, we do not tolerate derogatory remarks that target any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation.
Actress Skai Jackson, who has been working with fans to"expose" racists on social media, made one of the most popular posts about Sawyer's old tweets, which date back to 2012."If I had a wife I would beat the hell out of her tonight lol," one reads, while another states,"The only thing stopping me from doing mildly racist tweets is the knowledge that Al Sharpton would never stop complaining about me.
Another tweet reads"Date rape myself so I don't have to masturbate," while others joke about suicide,"kidnapping homeless women" and the African American prison population.

WHAT THE F***** who the fuck does this woman or anyone else for that matter get off FUCKING RUINING a man’s career over 5 year old tweets.
still embarassing.
As a flash fan I am SAD as a black person I’m happy as can be
Ima to kill the person who got Hartley sawyer fired he was on of the best character in FLASH . I hope there happy for getting a person fired from his old tweet he posted.😩
people change over time. ITS FROM 2014 . this shawdy skai real busy scrolling through peoples past tweet to bring up on 2020 . move on .
candicekp This...shouldn't have happened. From my perspective, he's a great guy in The Flash series. And besides, those are OLD posts not NEW posts. Your past doesn't determines your future or who you are NOW.
Unless it's during your stand-up comedy show, you can't say offensive things.
I hope he educates himself along with his apology. We all need to stand up and stop the hate.
JamesGunn all over again, except that poor Hartley isn't as central to The Flash.
Im confused.... one minute it’s “people can change” and now its “fuck this guy”. The tweets were apparently old..... so why are we not assuming maybe he has also changed?
themirrorin6x17 Grow Up ET
Firing over tweets from 2012 and 2014 WOW CRAZY
yeah dark humor hurt her fweeewings so she wanted to destroy a innocent man she just killed a dc show. hope shes happy
Bye. Never liked his character anyway.
themirrorin6x17 I invite everyone to hear John McWhorter of the podcast lexicon valley on slate. Has a more nuanced take on this than any of these people including themirrorin6x17 who dug these up for personal gain.
WTF!!!! For me, as a The Flash fan, it's a loss. I love Hartley with all my heart.
😢
This is incorrect. Someone posted screenshots of his old tweets days before Skai did and it was on trending.
I mean Skai is rn like racist detector.
