“Power” actor Omari Hardwick is used to the negativity hurled his way for having a white wife and in a recent case, he clapped back.

The actor responded to an Instagram commenter this past week who said he “lost points” with a fan because of his interracial marriage to Jae Hardwick. Omari Hardwick, who plays Ghost on the hit Starz show, issued this curt response under a photo which appears to have since been deleted.

Since the reply was made, many have voiced their support for Omari Hardwick and slammed @jispainior.

@jispainior later clarified her remarks saying she simply wrote “what most were thinking.”

Jae Hardwick seemed to respond to the dust-up with an empowering Instagram post Monday, July 10.

This is the most recent time Hardwick has been forced to defend his wife. In 2014, he unleashed a tweet-spree when someone claimed Jae Hardwick was ugly.

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
