The dark reason Percy Hynes White hasn’t returned as Xavier in Wednesday season two

After forever, Wednesday is back on Netflix. But you might have noticed that Percy Hynes White has not returned to his role of Xavier for Wednesday season two.

Xavier was a key character alongside Wednesday Addams’ in season one, so it’s a big deal for him to suddenly no longer be there. He was at one point feared to be the Hyde. The character’s absence is very briefly addressed in the show. During episode one, it said that after Xavier was falsely accused of murder, his father pulled his son and his endowment from Nevermore.

Despite the key role of the character, it was a scandal with Percy Hynes White in real life that was behind why he was pulled. Here’s a rundown of what happened.

So, why is Percy Hynes White not back as Xavier in Wednesday season two?

In January 2023, after season one of Wednesday was released, Percy Hynes White was accused of sexual assault. Someone on Twitter made the claims, but the posts have since been deleted. The woman claimed Hynes White had assaulted her at a party he hosted in Toronto, and alleged he had assaulted other women. The user claimed Hynes White and his friends threw parties and provided alcohol and drugs to underage girls in order to have sex with them.

He denied the allegations. The actor said on Instagram: “Earlier this year, somebody I’ve never met started a campaign of misinformation about me online. Because of this, my family has been doxxed, and my friends have received death threats. Underage photos of me were used, and examples of me acting in character were presented as hateful. My friend Jane was falsely portrayed as a victim, and her attempts to set the record straight have been ignored. She gave me permission to include her in this message.

“The rumours are false. I can’t accept the portrayal of me as someone bigoted, or criminally negligent of people’s safety. These are the kind of baseless, harmful claims that can create mistrust toward victims. It’s very distressing to know that this misinformation has upset people. I’m really thankful for everyone who’s stood by me and helped share the facts. Harassment of my family, friends and coworkers needs to stop please. Thank you for taking the time to read this.”

A year later it was announced Percy Hynes White was no longer part of the show, so Xavier wouldn’t be a character in season two of Wednesday on Netflix.
