Naomi Ackie Got Real About Star Wars Racism On Social And Why She Deleted Her Accounts: ‘It Was Like, What The F—’

Naomi Ackie, known for her role as Jannah in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, recently opened up about her experience with racism and the intense pressure of social media after joining one of the most iconic franchises in cinema history.

Kelly Marie Tran, who starred in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, faced relentless online bullying from some of the more toxic fanbase members, ultimately leading her to leave social media.

Wanting to protect her mental health, Ackie chose to stay off social media when her role was announced, hoping to avoid a similar experience.
