Some people just have to ruin a good thing!
Social media trolls are trying to fan the flames with outlandish claims that they were assaulted by Black people when going to see Black Panther, this opening weekend.
The incendiary post mostly show pictures of battered white women, including White House staffer Rob Porter’s ex-wife Colbie Holderness, with statements about violence that ensued when they tried to see the critically acclaimed movie.
‘Went to the #BlackPanther premier tonight and my wife was assaulted. Three black women approached us and one said ‘This movie ain’t for you white b****’ and then attacked her. Security escorted us to the parking lot and we left. We just wanted to see a movie,’ the photo of Holderness is captioned with the now widely circulated photo of her bruised face.

Another shows 19-year-old Sophie Johansson, from Sweden, who was brutally attacked by a man in Malmo after she refused his advances at a nightclub. The man had hit her across the head with a beer bottle, leaving her bloodied.
‘I went to see #BlackPanther with my gf and a black teenager shouted ‘u at the wrong theater’ and smashed a bottle on her face,’ the troll’s post said.
‘Fake posts are being created to make black people look bad and the sad part of it is some people will believe them #BlackPanther,’ added yser Trapa Fasa who posted the photos and called them out for being phonies.

Under the guise of known racist and anti-Semitic Paul Nehlen, one user posted a photo of a supposed Ohio woman who was hospitalized after a ‘racially motivated attack.’
But people were quick to point out that the picture was actually from a viral 2013 Serbian video that used special effects makeup to show the impact of spousal abuse.

People also chimed in that white men in MAGA hats were also harassing moviegoers, going as far to supposedly say ‘blacks are subhumans who deserve to be beaten.’ But those too were revealed to be false.
And while all these people were quick to try to derail the excitement surrounding the film, there were those who were quick to defend the film and those watching it.
Oner user stated: ‘if I see anyone making fake claims they “got beat up” when seeing #BlackPanther I’m gonna find you and literally beat your white a**..cause let’s face it, it’s always white people..I saw the movie this morning, full theater, all cheering, 20/10 recommend seeing it multiple times.’
Another added: ‘There’s a bunch of people on here posting fake assault pictures and saying it was black teens at #BlackPanther showings. God I hate people.’
Black Panther hit theaters late Thursday night and has been applauded for its diverse cast that shows representation of the African diaspora and what a Black superhero could do.
