When You Need Cover-Up for Your Cover-Up


A live look at WME/Endeavor and Jake Gyllenhaal's Public Relations Team after their dastardly doin's of having Austin's July 14 Instagram post altered.



In case you were not aware, after Narnia Dispatches published "The Quietest Clapback" on Sunday, July 14, Austin's Instagram post was changed quite noticeably.  Gone was the pointed and personalized "Hey @tomholland2013 can I be Spider Man when I grow up?" and replaced with the generic, "I'm gonna be Spider Man when I grow up" @spidermanmovie @marvelstudios.  

  Here's the original statement, posted on July 11.




And then orders were issued from on high, and an intern took out their correction tape,



and voila!




I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not exactly hearing Sergeant Schultz here, lol.




Perhaps Junior had some kind of objection???  Maybe someone stayed after class to talk to the teacher?  Holland???

Narnia will stand behind Austin full stop on this one.  He has been censored; put in his place.  Imagine those of you, like myself, who are on social media and someone either tells you to change your tweet or Tumblr post, or has access to your account and takes an eraser to your thoughts and expressions.  They then take out that Fat Sharpie and scribble words for you.  "Here.  This is what you really meant to say, isn't it?"

Austin and Jake came to an agreement on their life road a long time ago.  But it is times like this that reminds them both of the price that comes from being in the closet and publicly denying that the other exists.

Perhaps Jake needs to look at his life partner and realize that most folks have a threshold level for tolerance of all the nonsense that he pulled with Holland. No matter how scripted, words and actions can have consequences on other people.  This goes for any romantic partner of Holland's as well. 

Remember that WME/Endeavor also manages Tom Holland (no surprise there), so they have a built-in win-win with this kind of redaction.  What they didn't win at was totally erasing the original post.  Sorry fellas.

Now that's what I call a real BOOM! Seems like WME/Endeavor didn't much like Austin's voice being heard so they tried to "silence" it with the awkward revision. Glad we were able to set the record straight. Excuse the pun, please.
