The Summer I Turned Pretty creator Jenny Han is not holding back about the recent negativity directed at the cast — and new star Elsie Fisher.
“The whole Summer cast and crew have worked hard to make a show we hope you will love, and we are so excited to share it with you guys. The Summer I Turned Pretty community is one of inclusivity,” Han wrote via Instagram Story on Thursday, July 20. “The hurtful comments directed at cast are not in the spirit of the show. Please be mindful of what you’re putting out there and of who is seeing it.”
Skye was introduced to the audience in season 2 as Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah’s (Gavin Casalegno) cousin who identifies as non-binary. They visit Cousins Beach with their mother Julia (Kyra Sedgwick), who wants to sell the beach house after sister Susannah’s (Rachel Blanchard) passing.
Some viewers weren’t thrilled that Skye — who is not included in the original Summer I Turned Pretty book series — was joining the group in a cast shakeup. Other fans, however, were quick to show their support for Han’s post after Fisher, 20, received backlash for portraying Skye.
“This needed to be said. the amount of awful things im seeing being said abt elsie (particularly on tiktok) is so disappointing. making fun of looks, hating on their character that you haven’t even met yet, misgendering them, etc. is so sickening. i hope elsie is ok,” a viewer tweeted about the rude comments regarding Skye.
Another social media commentator questioned why Fisher had become a target for trolls, writing, “If you have a problem with elsie and their character just. don’t. watch. the. show. you should be embarrassed that jenny had to post this.”
