Heated Rivalry co-stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have faced backlash after insensitive photos from before their fame resurfaced.

Over the past weekend, several pictures of Hudson Williams with a swastika drawn on his head took over social media. The Heated Rivalry star has not directly addressed these images, but a source told TMZ that he “wasn’t aware” of the hate symbol and that he wasn’t the one who drew it. Another image where he supposedly had a swastika on his head again has resurfaced, which only made the situation worse.

In the middle of all this, others have been digging through pictures of Connor Storrie. A few images have caused backlash: one where Connor is seen with his hair in braids, another where he’s dressed up as a “native” person, and a picture from his alleged photography account where he styled a woman in a “native” costume.

The pictures have stirred up a conversation about cultural appropriation and appreciation, especially as people claim Connor used the aesthetics of people of colour without crediting them.

“Connor Storrie with another blatant case of CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!! He put a white model in stereotypical ‘Native’ elements, braids, war-paint style makeup, while labelling it simply ‘Native’, treating living Indigenous cultures as an exotic costume for aesthetic photos!” one person on X said.

“He always sexualises and fetishises Indigenous identity especially by presenting a topless young woman in a vulnerable pose reinforcing the harmful ‘sexy Native princess’ trope that has historically objectified and dehumanised Indigenous women.”

The  Heated Rivalry actor hasn’t addressed this controversy.

This whole situation has turned into a bit of a stan war, as fans of Hudson William and Connor Storrie are arguing over which actor has the most problematic past, detracting from the actual important conversation. Despite the controversies around the two stars, Heated Rivalry season two is still set for a spring 2027 release, with filming starting this August.
