Sporting matching hats with Viscuso in a selfie, Cavill wrote a lengthy statement that condemned the hate he and his events have received in the last month.
“There has been lots of, let’s call it speculation for now, about my private life and professional partnerships. Now, while I do appreciate the passion and support by those very people who are ‘speculating’, It has come to such a point that I needed to say something, which in itself, is a bad thing,” Cavill wrote on Saturday. “So, to you out there who are expressing your disdain and showing your displeasure through a surprising variety of ways, it’s time to stop.”
“I know it can be fun to speculate, to gossip, and to dive into our own personal echo chambers on the internet, but your ‘passion’ is misplaced, and it causes harm to the people I care about most,” he went on. “Even your most conservative of negative assumptions about both my personal and professional life just aren’t true.”
