'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson claims studios begged him to shut up about politics

"Reacher" star Alan Ritchson claimed that studios have discouraged him from discussing politics publicly after the actor drew attention for his political rants.

As reported by The Christian Post , Ritchson jokingly remarked about the warnings he'd received from production studios during a Fan Expo Canada panel earlier this month.

"You know how many phone calls I get from studios like, ‘Would you shut the f--- up, please? Stop talking in public,’" Ritchson said .

"I mean, but it’s not chaos I’m after.

It’s actually the opposite of chaos.

I’d like a little — I’m not going to get into it.

You don’t want to see my rants starring these g------ f------ politicians everywhere." 'REACHER' STAR ALAN RITCHSON EXPOSES ALLEGED EXTORTION PLOT THAT SPARKED SUICIDE ATTEMPT He added, "I’m not going to do it.

Sony told me not to.

And I’m not going to say anything.

Not today.

Not today, [Jeffrey] Epstein." After the audience cheered at his comments, he gave a fist bump to the moderators and declared, "Pedos win." Ritchson also claimed Amazon Prime Video killed a "Reacher" storyline involving White supremacists and suggested the move was political.

In a comment on Threads last week, he replied to a fan who said they were disappointed that the Amazon Prime Video series would not adapt a book in the series where Jack Reacher "kills his way through a White supremacist militia camp." 'SOPRANOS' CREATOR DAVID CHASE WARNS CENSORSHIP UNDER TRUMP IS A 'HOP, SKIP AND A JUMP' AWAY Ritchson replied that he was also pushing for the book to be adapted but was turned down, suggesting it was due to President Donald Trump's return to office.

"My favourite book.

Fun fact: I had it approved until someone got re-elected," Ritchson wrote.
