Hudson Williams ‘Deeply Regrets’ Resurfaced High School Photo With Swastika: Report

In March, Hudson and François, 40, shared a joint Instagram Stories statement, calling out the cruel online chatter.

“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynist/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind,” the co-stars wrote. “None of us need your hateful ‘love.’ We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side. If you can’t accept that gtfoh.”

Heated Rivalry premiered in November 2025 and is based on Rachel Reid‘s Game Changers book series. The show became one of the most talked-about series over the past year, and episode 5 of season 1 even ranked neck and neck with a Breaking Bad episode for highest rated TV episodes of all time on IMDb.

Season 2 is expected to premiere in April 2027.
