If you know Rachel Brosnahan, then you probably also know Rachel Brosnahan’s husband, Jason Ralph. He’s an actor who’s been in stuff like The Magicians and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Well, he’s currently going viral after allegedly liking a VERRYYY weird comment about Rachel’s chemistry with her Superman co-star David Corenswet.
This summer, the two appeared in the superhero film as lovers Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Amid its press cycle, Jason received a shady fan comment on a random Instagram photo he posted that encouraged him to “stand up” for himself and “leave” Rachel because of her apparent chemistry with David. It said, “It’s genuinely sad to see your career being tucked out to be remembered as a cuckold because your wife couldn’t handle herself with her co-actor. Like bro.. let’s have some self love and stand up for yourself man, leave her to be with him if she wants that much at the end of the day.”
Instead of shutting the comment down or, you know, ignoring it, Jason apparently liked it.
He has since turned off the comments on the post, but not before fans grabbed the screenshot, which sparked tons of discourse this week when it was shared on Reddit.
In short, people thought Jason’s reaction was very bizarre.
One person said his response was “so embarrassing.” “What an idiot,” commented another. “Even if they’re having marital problems, why would you set up your wife to be attacked by a bunch of losers on the internet? I’m sure thats not gonna make things better.” As another viewer stated, “Men are such strange creatures.”
“So weird,” someone added, as another fan wondered, “What the actual F!” “They simply are not lonely enough,” another person joked.
At the same time, some people defended Jason, speculating that he liked the post jokingly or sarcastically.
This viewer said, “I read the like as trolling the commenter, but could be wrong.” Another agreed that it did seem “like a sarcastic like to me.”
“I truly think this is him liking it because it’s absurd, not because he’s like….hurting deeply,” a third insisted. “I know David and his wife, and while I don’t know Jason and Rachel personally, this tracks with Jason’s social media vibe overall!”
One more echoed that thought. “I don’t think he liked it as a way of agreeing with the comment,” they wrote. “My understanding of the like is that he was trolling the person, because the message is truly ridiculous and shows no understanding of what acting is.”
Even so, some people thought Jason’s reaction was still very strange. “This is a weird thing to like sarcastically as opposed to replying sarcastically,” one person said.
Well! We’ve reached out to reps for Rachel and Jason to see if they have any comment on this, but in the meantime, tell me what you make of his Instagram behavior below!
