Ewan McGregor Calls Out Those Sending Moses Ingram Racist Messages

Ewan McGregor has co-star Moses Ingram‘s back.

This week, it was revealed that Moses had been receiving racist messages from online haters.

“There’s nothing anybody can do about this. There’s nothing anybody can do to stop this hate,” she shared. “I question my purposes in even being here in front of you saying that this is happening. I don’t really know.”

After hearing of the “hundreds” of messages, Ewan called them all out in a video message.

The 51-year-old actor shared a message on the official Star Wars accounts.

“It seems that some of the fan base has decided to attack Moses Ingram online and send her the most horrendous, racist [direct messages]. I heard some of them this morning, and it just broke my heart,” he said.

Ewan went on, saying that “Moses is a brilliant actor. She is a brilliant woman. And she is absolutely amazing in this series. She brings so much to the series, she brings so much to the franchise. And it just sickened me to my stomach that this had been happening.”

“I just want to say as the lead actor in the series, as the executive producer on the series, that we stand with Moses. We love Moses. And if you’re sending her bullying messages, you’re no Star Wars fan in my mind. There’s no place for racism in this world. And I totally stand with Moses.”

Moses plays a Jedi hunter named Reva who attempts to track down Ewan‘s Obi-Wan.
