Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes fires back at 'absurd' death threats after posting a pic with his sister

Outer Banks star Chase Stokes alluded to quitting social media after he received death threats and “horrific” messages for posting a picture with his sister. The actor slammed social media users who sent him "death threats" after he posted a selfie with his younger sister Rylie Walker.

The fact that I can't post a picture with my baby sister without death threats is just f--king absurd," the 29-year-old wrote on April 15.

"Get a grip. Family always comes first and at the end of the day if you don't know my sister and have the audacity to send me horrific messages then just go ahead and click that unfollow."

"I will forever be a person who ALWAYS puts my family first," he noted. "With that being said, and with that dumb s--t. I'm out. See you when I see you."

Following his message, fans defended the actor on social media and called for those who sent the death threats to back off.

A fan wrote, "idgaf what y'all feel towards Chase Stokes. Sending him and his sister death threats is weirdo s--t."
