His response was shared on Reddit, where it was immediately met with backlash.
“Absolute fucking loser,” one person said. “And to say shit like this at the Tony’s of all awards shows is repulsive.” Another wrote, “Nah that ain’t it brother.”
Others called Tom’s response “spineless.”
“I’d rather be poor than this embarrassingly spineless. But it tracks to what we already knew about him,” a third fan said, while another mocked Tom’s comment. “I’m not really attuned to [the global struggle for equality and justice].”
