'Heated Rivalry' Star Hudson Williams Furious With Fan Behavior Overseas

Hudson Williams, one of the two main stars of "Heated Rivalry," the hit show about two closeted hockey players who have a rivalry on the ice and a relationship off of it, has become an overnight star.

The 25-year-old actor from Canada, who plays Shane Hollander in the Crave original television series, is going viral for a furious rant he had while interacting with some fans overseas.

Page Six shared a video of the Canadian actor unloading on a group of autograph seekers overseas. In the video, Williams is so furious, that he attempts to set one of his own photos on fire.

"Guys, you just followed me to my residence," Williams said in the clip. "No, no 'sorry.' You can't do this. This is really (expletive) weird. You can't (expletive) do this."

Ultimately, Williams grabbed a stack of photos from one of the autograph seekers and attempted to set it on fire.

"You guys aren't fans," he said "You're being really creepy and you just followed me. You don't do this. I'm gonna burn this. Thank you. Now, please (expletive) leave. You're demented."

"I want to watch you," he said. "Hop on your little bike."

Some fans are defending Williams' behavior

"He shouldn't be followed like that. He should be giving a space he's going up to the hotel. We don't need to follow people to their Hotel respect their privacy their celebrity, but when you have to be on top of them," one fan wrote.

"Shane would have socked him in the mouth," one fan added.

"Rewrite that headline: Hudson Williams reacts understandably to memorabilia poachers, paparazzi stalkers and persistent boundary violators. There. I fixed it," one fan added.

"Show what happened before the meltdown! These videos NEVER show what lead up to it. It's obviously be design where this video starts," one fan added.
