AceShowbiz - Anthony Mackie has had social media users come to his defense following a criticism over his alleged unpleasant behavior. After being called out by one of his fans for being rude, the leading man on "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" was defended by many.
On Tuesday, March 26, a video of his female fan was reshared via Instagram. In the clip, it could be heard that she was complaining about the 45-year-old being rude to her during a run-in at a gas station in New Orleans.
In the beginning of the clip, the fan said, "So I just met Anthony Mackie and let me just say, [the] rudest human being alive." The fan recalled, "So I live in New Orleans, I'm here for Spring break. Apparently Anthony Mackie lives here too. I pulled up to a gas station here. Anthony Mackie comes in this huge f**king truck. All black out, all f**king sleek, windows down."
The devotee went on to say, "Also if you don't want people to come up to you and f**king say how much they appreciate your work, why the f**k are all your windows down? And you're blasting music, smoking a f**king cigar."
The fan further recounted, "So I parked my car and I was getting ready to pump up my gas. I saw Anthony Mackie across the f**king lot. I gently walked up to him being like, 'Oh my God, I'm so sorry to bother you.' Because I know celebrities are on time, I know celebrities got s**t to do. I understand that."
"So I walked up being very very very respectful, very very very open minded, being like, 'Hey, I'm so sorry to bother you,' " she continued. She then elaborated, "Tell me why Anthony Mackie did this," with her hand gesture indicating a rejection while saying "No." She additionally stressed, "To my face. And just went back to what he was doing, having me standing there."
It did not take long for the post to be flooded with responses from Instagram users, many of whom defended Anthony. In the comments section, one in particular wrote, "He didn't sound rude, it sounds like he set his boundaries before you started all that hootin and hollering like you're doing in this video."
Similarly, another penned, "Celebrities are NOT obligated to talk to anyone. Fan entitlement is crazy." A third stated, "How many times he gotta tell y'all don't bother him outside of work? He's clocked out. LEAVE HIM BE!" In the meantime, a fourth blasted the fan, "Girl shut up. She was probably as loud as she was in this damn video lol."
