Padalecki Deletes Post After Fan Backlash
Anyway, fans commented online about Hilton’s doubtful past. The actor, therefore, gave the reason why he removed the message. “I just didn’t know. Someone brought it to mind.
I apologized.” The actor further said, “I had ZERO KNOWLEDGE about his previous behavior. I had only heard of him. Obviously.
I had even heard before that he was not the one who was being very kind to me at all the time.”
“My attitude towards a person who I thought was trying to harm me is always to give grace and forgiveness. That, in all my experience, has worked better than the other way around.
But if I can do anything about it, then surely they do. However, to say that I actually was clueless to the extent of what he had done in the past, I would not make that part my fault.”

And I can only hope that the rest of the world is healthy and happy and taking care of themselves.
