HBO Fires White Lotus Actor Allegedly Over Russia Support Against Ukraine

After discovering he had lost his spot on The White Lotus, Biković released a statement, sharing how “honored” he was to have been cast in the series alongside “colleagues whom I deeply respect.” He referred to his ousting as “a targeted campaign,” adding that he wouldn’t be able to appear in the series “due to reasons beyond the realm of art.” Unwilling to back down or apologize for his prior stance, Biković said, “I will not bow to any narrative that seeks to compromise my integrity.”
