Buzolic Accuses Unnamed Co-Star of Fan Event Blacklisting

Nathaniel Buzolic has accused an unnamed former co-star of arranging to bar him from fan events because of his support for Israel, saying the alleged exclusion also affected his work opportunities and contact with fans. Buzolic made the allegation in an Instagram Reel aimed at viewers of The Vampire Diaries and its spinoff, The Originals.

“There’s an actor I have worked with who has had me banned from attending fan events if he’s there, quietly,” Buzolic said in the Reel. He said the person was privately supportive of Palestinians but avoided expressing that position publicly, which Buzolic speculated was to protect the actor’s career. Buzolic did not identify the person.

Buzolic said the alleged exclusion was intended to keep him from getting work as well as from meeting fans at conventions and other events. He connected his absence from those appearances to his pro-Israel views and challenged followers to guess the co-star’s identity in the Reel’s caption.

Fans have speculated that the person could be Joseph Morgan, who played Klaus Mikaelson in the franchise. Buzolic did not name Morgan, and the speculation does not establish that Morgan was the subject of the accusation....
