Heartstopper’s Kit Connor quits Twitter amid queerbaiting row

Kit Connor, who plays Nick Nelson in the hit Netflix series recently deleted Twitter after a video of him allegedly holding hands with a female friend led to him being accused of queerbaiting by supposed fans.

Connor was reportedly videoed holding hands with Cuban Girl’s Guide co-star Maia Reficco while in Paris.

After the video was posted online and ‘fans’ began accusing him of queerbaiting, he tweeted that he would be deleting Twitter as it was a “silly, silly app”.

A number of fans have supported Kit’s decision to leave the app, with one writing: “It’s so sad that some our community have decided that anything short of screaming your sexuality from the rooftops is tantamount to queer baiting.

“If I was Kit Connor I wouldn’t come out either. He’s not exactly been welcomed with open arms,” they continued.

Another sarcastically congratulated fans for “running another actor off the internet”.

Connor has previously spoken about why he refuses to label his sexuality, and put a halt to anyone publicly debating his sexuality with a tweet in May 2022, saying that people on social media “know my sexuality better than I do”.
