Amazon has a smash hit on its hands with Off Campus. It is based on a book series by Elle Kennedy. It stars Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli, Mika Abdalla, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks, and Josh Heuston.
Off Campus follows a female music student and a star hockey player at a fictional University who agree to a fake romantic relationship in order to help each other out. The fake relationship begins to develop into a real romance.
The series reached 36 million viewers worldwide over its first 12 days of release, according to figures shared by the Amazon-owned streamer. It comes in as Prime Video’s third-largest series debut over that amount of time, behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout.
So far, so predictable. The issue here is the female fanbase. It seems the women have gone absolutely mad for this, and are having trouble discerning fiction from reality around the show. Things have gotten so bad that Amazon Prime Video and the creative team behind Off Campus have had to issue a statement asking fans to stop harassing the hit show’s cast members.
It seems that the rather too engaged and energetic fanbase has been harassing the actors and actresses over some of their character choices in the show. This has spilled over into the personal lives of the cast, and in some cases has led to unpleasantness and racism when the cast have not reciprocated the unwanted attention.
A big issue has been attacking the real-life partners of cast members online. Multiple sources note that the biggest targets have been the real-life girlfriends, boyfriends, and partners of the cast members. Fans have flooded their personal pages with criticism and hate.
Because the show features a relatively young and new ensemble cast, fans have actively delved into the actors’ private lives and posted sensitive personal findings across social media platforms.
Following cast member Mika Abdalla’s split from her fiancé Jake Short, fans unburied and heavily scrutinized a years-old podcast clip to attack Short, forcing the former couple to issue a joint statement defending their past relationship.
The ladies are so cray-cray about this that Amazon has had to threaten to ban fans caught doing any of this from the TV show’s accounts and social media channels across all platforms.
