'The 100's' Bob Morley Sounds Off About Fat Shaming, Depression On Social Media
Philadelphia (CW Philly) — Bob Morley, who portrays the strong and protective Bellamy Blake on The 100, took to Twitter on Wednesday, Feb. 27, to address fat shaming and depression.
Over the summer, when season 5 of The CW series was wrapping up, Morley had knee surgery. As a result, he was unable to walk for months and struggled with depression.
"Fat shame" me all you want, knee surgery, not being able to walk and depression that ensues doesn't come close to your opinions. Love and respect, be kind, be well
