"Bel-Air's" Olly Sholotan Playfully Addresses Social Media Calling The Actor "Ugly"

February 23, 2022

Olly Sholotan has been the subject of online ridicule ever since the "Bel-Air" premiere.

Bel-Air has quickly become one of the most talked-about shows on social media in a shocking twist of events. After fans had bashed the show for an unnecessary reboot of a 90s classic, the Bel-Air cast and creators were left with the last laugh as the show dominated through sheer word of mouth, and fans were pleasantly surprised at the show’s potential.

While the show isn’t perfect, the series has managed to shock naysayers and prove it has something fresh to bring to the table, especially with the updated versions of the Bel-Air cast. Although, speaking of the new castmates, not every character has been received positively, with some actors receiving threats and unfavorable comments on Twitter. One of the primary examples is Olly Sholotan, the actor who plays Bel-Air’s reimagined version of Carlton Banks.



In the dramatic retelling of Will Smith’s classic sitcom, Olly’s Carlton doesn’t appear to be the redeemable, huggable, and Cringely wholesome version of Carlton we all have grown up with. Instead, Olly portrays a version of the character that deals with self-hate and is battling addiction, all while giving Will a way tougher time than his 90s counterpart ever did. And while these qualities of his character are super interesting, that isn’t particularly what irks fans about the character. Instead, fans have bombarded the actor with an unhealthy amount of tweets that criticize the actor for being ugly and “hard to look at.” The unkind words began happening around the new show’s premiere and haven’t stopped since.
