Off Campus is presently one of the most talked-about young adult romance series on the internet. Instagram, X, and reddit are filled with discussions about it. Meanwhile, fans are already eagerly waiting for updates about Season 2. But amid the growling excitement around the adaptation of Off Campus, its actor, Antonio Cipriano, who plays ‘John Logan,’ has unexpectedly come under scrutiny after a body-shaming incident.
Why was Antonio Cipriano trolled online?
The whole controversy started after Antonio Cipriano’s girlfriend, Justine Verheul, shared some photos and videos from her recent trip to Disney World on Instagram. Although the majority of her comments were filled with praise and support, one user made a serious comment about Antonio’s body and appearance ahead of Off Campus. The fan mentioned that Antonio should “bulk up and eat everything he can” before he starts filming for Season 2. At the same time, he added that ‘Logan’ was “supposed to be BIG”.
The user also mentioned a viral tweet and discussed Antonio’s “gaunt face” and recent weight loss. In fact, the comment also mentioned that Antonio would face criticism after the new season airs. The comment quickly went viral across X, TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram fan pages, where viewers began to debate. They argued that audiences have become overly comfortable in criticizing the appearance of other actors. In the fan’s words:
“I’m saying this with love, but please tell Antonio to bulk up and eat everything he can before filming starts for season two. There’s a viral tweet over his gaunt face and how much weight he’s lost, and I fear he’s going to have a lot of hate in season 2 if he doesn’t gain weight. Logan is supposed to be BIG.”

After the debate went viral, several fans came to Antonio’s rescue. Many fans defended Antonio and pointed out that actors should not be pressured to physically match every fan-made image or fantasy version of a character. Some also noted the growing trend of body commentary. One user wrote, “We all love you guys. Please don’t listen to those disgusting comments.” Another person commented, “People are always going to comment; just make your account private. You don’t live off social media, so you don’t need a public profile.” They also highlighted how the comment “went too far”. Meanwhile, Antonio’s girlfriend, Justine Verheul, directly shared a simple but strong response. In her words
“Maybe let’s not comment on people’s weight. All love though.”
The incident also sparked more conversations within fandom communities about unrealistic expectations from actors. Especially when they adapt to any beloved book characters. At the same time, many fans pointed out that Antonio has not responded publicly to the viral discussion. Instead, supporters have continued to share positive messages.
