Seriously?! It's just a flipping tv show. The Walking Dead death threats.

‘Walking Dead’ Star Quits Social Media After Frightening Death Threats

Actors on “The Walking Dead” are already trying to survive zombies. They shouldn’t have to deal with internet trolls, too.

But after allegedly receiving death threats online, Josh McDermitt, who plays Eugene Porter on the show, has shut down his social media accounts.

The actor spoke out against internet hate in the past, when his co-star Alanna Masterson was subjected to body shaming. In a Build Series interview with HuffPost, McDermitt said that “people need to chill the F out with the crap that they’re putting on the internet.”

“It’s very disturbing because we are people, everyone,” he said.

Thanks to his character’s dark turn on the show, the abuse reached McDermitt ― and he’s had enough.

Oh the world we live in. I miss the 80's when we weren't addicted to the internet/I phones.
