“Supernatural” stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles want to make it clear they aren’t kidding around when it comes to sexual misconduct. After intense backlash to a joke referencing Bill Cosby’s rape allegations, which the actors told at a convention over the weekend, the pair have issued statements to TheWrap placing them firmly against unwanted sexual advances.
“Under all circumstance Jared condemns any form of sexual harassment or assault,” a rep for Padalecki told TheWrap in a statement. Ackles echoed his co-star’s opinion in his own comment to TheWrap, with his rep saying, “Our position is that sexual harassment is a serious issue and should not to be taken lightly under any circumstances.”
