this is nothing more than public shaming of an actor using click bait aggrandizement.
the original story described hollywood as "gripped with fear". really? los angeles has one of the highest rates of new hiv infections in the country, over a million americans are hiv+, and 1 in 7 don't even know they're infected. los angeles is suddenly "gripped with fear"? stupid, stupid hyperbole.
