Overview
- KJ Apa posted a video accusing the performer known as Mr. Fantasy of copying his image and tattoos and said the impersonation has harmed his career.
- Apa said he lost a major job because people now view him as a joke linked to the persona and he called the figure a liar and a thief.
- The complaint followed the release of Mr. Fantasy’s Do Me Right video that featured cameos from Apa’s Riverdale co-stars Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, and Madelaine Petsch, along with other celebrities.
- Several famous friends backed Apa in comments and some who appeared in the video, including Zoey Deutch and Patrick Schwarzenegger, posted apologies.
- Mr. Fantasy’s identity remains unconfirmed as the TikTok-born act has drawn comparisons to Apa since 2025, even performing at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and online opinion is split between believing Apa and suspecting a stunt.
