- He says the alleged action is linked to his pro-Israel views.
- His Instagram video included racist slurs about Palestinians.

## Summary

Actor Nathaniel Buzolic says an unnamed former co-star from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals has quietly prevented him from attending fan events where that actor is present. He links the alleged exclusion to his public support for Israel and says it has cost him opportunities to meet fans and earn income.

Buzolic made the claims in an Instagram video, where he also used racist slurs about Palestinians. He did not identify the co-star, but suggested fans could guess who it was in the caption. Buzolic played Kol Mikaelson, first appearing in The Vampire Diaries in 2012 and later reprising the role in The Originals, which ran from 2013 to 2018; he has publicly supported Israel and criticised Hamas and the pro-Palestinian movement.
