David Corenswet and Julia Best Warner in Online Controversy
Actor David Corenswet and his wife Julia Best Warner have recently become the focus of online discussions after Julia reportedly liked an Instagram post containing Zionist references. This like was later removed after attracting public attention.
False Pledge Attribution
At the same time, Corenswet’s name surfaced on a pledge by Film Workers for Palestine (FWFP), which called on Hollywood professionals to avoid collaborating with Israeli film institutions accused of complicity in genocide and apartheid. However, FWFP later confirmed that Corenswet’s inclusion was fraudulent, added by an impersonator without his consent.
FWFP Statement
"On 4 November 2025 the organisation issued a statement clarifying that his name was removed after verification revealed the inclusion was based on fraud."
The pledge itself maintains legitimacy and continues to have support from many in the industry, but Corenswet’s name was incorrectly associated with it.
Context of Julia Best Warner’s Instagram Like
The report about Warner liking the post coincides with the controversy surrounding the pledge, intensifying public reactions. It is currently unverified whether the Instagram post was truly Zionist in nature, contextual, or a misinterpretation.
Summary
This situation highlights how misinformation and social media actions can quickly escalate controversies around public figures.
