Actor David Corenswet and his wife Julia Best Warner have become subjects of online discussion after claims emerged about Warner reportedly liking a controversial Instagram post with Zionist themes. This like was later removed following public attention.
Simultaneously, Corenswet’s name was falsely included on a pledge by Film Workers for Palestine (FWFP). The pledge urges Hollywood professionals to boycott Israeli film institutions accused of involvement in “genocide and apartheid.”
The FWFP campaign initially listed Corenswet among thousands of signatories. However, on November 4, 2025, the organisation clarified that his inclusion was fraudulent, caused by an impersonator adding his name without consent.
The organisation stated that "after verification, his name was removed as its inclusion was based on fraud."
The pledge itself remains valid and supported by many in the film industry, but Corenswet’s presence on the list was a mistake.
Warner’s alleged Instagram like added complexity to the story, coinciding with the pledge controversy. It is not verified whether the Instagram post was indeed Zionist, contextual, or misunderstood.
No confirmed connection exists between Corenswet and the controversial pledge or the Instagram post, which has been removed and questioned for its true intent.
This situation highlights how social media activity and false information can quickly escalate, affecting public figures without clear evidence.
