Lexi Rabe won the hearts of Marvel fans when she played Morgan Stark in Avengers: Endgame, but just like with any big fandom, some less than stellar people have been bullying the child actress online. Just in, Rabe has released a video on her IG urging people not to bully her.
Check it out:
As it goes without saying, people shouldn’t be bullying a 7-year-old girl in the first place. The same happened with young Jake Lloyd after he starred as Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace, and he was bullied so hard he practically stopped working in Hollywood ever again.
For whatever reason people don’t like Morgan Stark as a character, whether they think she shouldn’t be Ironheart or that she wasn’t necessary for the film, it’s no reason to start harassing the actress in real life. Star Wars fans continuously have to deal with “Toxic fandom” especially after some people bullied Kelly Marie Tran off social media; now the MCU doesn’t need that same kind of mess.
Hopefully Rabe’s work on Endgame doesn’t turn her off to acting or lead to some kind of dysfunction in the future. It’s always tricky with these child actors as kids can sometime not handle the pressure of the spotlight. Fingers crossed Rabe manages to brush off all the haters and keep doing what she loves.
Catch Rabe’s Morgan Stark in the re-release of Avengers: Endgame which comes out June 28.
