Miloš Biković Cut from HBO's The White Lotus Amidst Controversy

Serbian actor Miloš Biković has been removed from the cast of The White Lotus Season 3 after criticism from the Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs about his support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. HBO plans to recast the role of a Ukrainian man vacationing in Rome, which Biković was slated to play. This follows the Ministry's social media posts questioning HBO's decision to work with Biković, a Putin-supported actor who has publicly supported Russia's actions in Ukraine. Biković alleges he is the victim of a 'targeted campaign'.
