Like many of us, Halsey has been binging Gerard Way‘s The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. But not quickly enough, apparently.
The anti-popstar recently took to Twitter to empathise with the character of Luther and question why fans of the show have been so brutal to him online (thus making is painfully obvious that she hadn’t finished watching the whole series yet):
me: why are you guys so mean about luther? his father sent him on a suicide mission to DIE and he had his whole body transformed into something he rejects and now he feels alone, unwanted, and dysphoric. he feels literally inhuman.
you guys: ape man !!!! ???

Naturally, this triggered a massive stacks-on from fans who have finished watching the whole series and Halsey began beefing with them all individually in her misguided defence of that scumbag Luther:
OK YEAH but don’t invalidate his situation from the jump! https://t.co/md28mx5MGd
— h (@halsey) March 2, 2019
I’m not defending him. Everything is definitely: his fault. I was just saying!!! Hahahah https://t.co/5hEk4ogM26

OK I KNOW!!! IM JUST SAYING https://t.co/IIntWrRck0

Later, after Halsey finally caught up to everyone else on The Umbrella Academy, she hit Twitter again to announce that she’d now seen the error of her ways:
Ohhhhh. I just finished UA. Now I know why u guys hate Luther hahahaha
— h (@halsey) March 3, 2019
UA fandom coming for me because I had a moment of empathy before finishing all the episodes. IM SORRY LOLLLL

To cap it off, the singer then jokingly blamed the My Chemical Romance frontman (who, ICYMI, created the series in comic book form before it was adapted for the screen by Netflix) for the whole debacle:
I can’t believe I’ve been arguing with a comic book fandom on Twitter all day this is Gerard Way’s fault
— h (@halsey) March 3, 2019
We’re sure she’d forgive him if he reunited My Chemical Romance though, just sayin’.
In other news, The Umbrella Academy has just been renewed for season 2. Keen!
