“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.
