François Arnaud has made headlines by unfollowing members of the “Heated Rivalry” team, including his co-stars Hudson Williams, Robbie G.K., and Connor Storrie.

The 40-year-old actor also cut ties on social media with series creator Jacob Tierney, reducing his following list from over 1,000 accounts to just 213 in a single week, as reported by Just Jared.

Arnaud finds himself at the center of online controversy after being spotted with 25-year-old Storrie at JFK airport, following a promotional tour in New York City. The sighting has fueled dating rumors, with some fans expressing that Storrie might be better suited with 24-year-old Williams.

Fans have taken to social media, particularly X, to discuss the unfolding situation.

One user commented, “François Arnaud has unfollowed everyone connected to ‘Heated Rivalry’ on Instagram, including the entire cast and creator Jacob Tierney. It seems harsh comments and online harassment have led him to retreat from social media.” Another supporter urged, “They need to leave this gentle king alone.”

“The comments and harassment is horrible and unjustified, but I don’t get unfollowing his cast members?” questioned a third.

Others were concerned the apparent drama could affect Arnaud’s participation in Season 2 of the hit series.

“If because of toxic fans we don’t get François Arnaud in season 2 of HEATED Rivalry I’m gonna lose my f–king mind believe me,” an X user wrote.

“Saying françois isn’t helping by unfollowing any accounts related to the show. HE IS GETTING DEATH THREATS,” yet another person wrote.

“THE QUEER MAN ON THIS SHOW IS GETTING DEATH THREATS. & you think he’s just being ‘messy’ and ‘asking for attention’ this fandom is full of people who belong in padded rooms.”

Storrie and Hudson star in the steamy show as rival hockey players — and secret lovers — Shane Hollander and lya Rozanov, while Arnaud plays Scott Hunter.

Reps for Storrie and Arnaud did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

Arnaud admitted he’s been overwhelmed by his social media following amid the success of “Heated Rivalry,” even suggesting he should shut down the whole account.

“Oh, Helen Hunt… who not only followed me and other guys from the show, also commented on an old post of me, an old post,” he said during an appearance on the Sirius XM podcast “The Morning Mashup.”

“And she said, ‘You’re so good in this and everything else,’” the actor claimed.

“I was like, ‘Is she going through my whole filmography?’ Yeah, I had to, I’m like, ‘Oh delete Instagram now. I don’t need to see anything else.’ Shut the whole thing down.”

“This is how it should end,” he added. “This is my happy ending.”
