Ayo Edebiri has revealed that she received death threats and racist comments after Elon Musk shared a fake news story about her replacing Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. In February 2024, Musk shared a fake report claiming Disney was considering Edebiri to replace Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with the caption, “Disney Sucks.” Musk is certainly no stranger to sharing false information, but this headline caught the attention of some bad people who decided to take their anger out on the Emmy award-winning star of The Bear.
