Hynes White had long been a fan of Wednesday’s executive producer, Tim Burton. The admiration started at an early age: His father Joel used to read Burton's poetry to him when he was a child. When Hynes White’s mother called to tell him he had landed the role of Xavier Thorpe on Wednesday , he thought it must be a joke, especially since the day was April 1. “I hung up and went back to sleep,” he recalled later. [2]
Hynes White was accused on Twitter of sexual assault in January 2023; a user with the Twitter handle @milkievich claimed in a since-deleted tweet that he got her, several other women, and one underage girl drunk and high at parties he threw and then assaulted them. The tweets further allege he sent sexually explicit photos to underaged girls. [5] He denied the allegations in an Instagram story in June 2023, saying the "rumors were false" and calling it a "campaign of misinformation". [6] [7] After the tweet went viral, multiple other women subsequently alleged Hynes White of sexual misconduct. [8]
