Zachary Levi Faces Backlash Over Anti-Vaccine Comments

News summary

Zachary Levi has faced significant backlash from the Broadway community after he used the death of fellow actor Gavin Creel to promote conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines. In an Instagram livestream, Levi claimed that Creel, who died at 48 from a rare form of cancer, 'would still be alive' if he hadn't been vaccinated. This assertion drew sharp criticism, particularly from Tony Award-winning actor Norbert Leo Butz, who expressed disappointment over Levi's politicization of Creel's death. Butz and others condemned Levi's remarks as harmful, highlighting the lack of scientific merit in his claims. The incident has sparked outrage, with many in the theater community labeling Levi's statements as ghoulish and offensive. Levi's controversial comments come amid a turbulent period for his career, following backlash over his political endorsements.
