The actress came under fire from fellow Twitter users as the video she linked expressed doubts in the in-progress Covid-19 vaccines, which will begin roll-out in Britain in the coming week. The video sees “On The Table” host Tomi Arayomi question the possible antidote, despite admitting he has no medicinal understanding of vaccines.

Letitia also got blasted over the video because it contained transphobic comments.

Initially she attempted to defend herself by tweeting: 

If you don’t conform to popular opinions. but ask questions and think for yourself…you get cancelled.

Letitia Wright later added:

My intention was not to hurt anyone, my ONLY intention of posting the video was it raised my concerns with what the vaccine contains and what we are putting in our bodies. Nothing else.

Unfortunately, her tweet wasn’t enough to quell the crowd. 

So, Letitia deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
