What’s going on, Miles? Well, in case you don’t know, the heat between Shameik Moore and Laura Harrier has turned up a notch. The voice of Miles Morales in Sony’s Spider-Verse animated movies, Moore is facing the wrath of fans for his so-called “obsession” with Harrier, who is best known for playing Liz Allan in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The controversy between Moore and Harrier gained attention from fans when the latter was forced to ask Moore to take down a post that showed her after rumours spread that they were a couple. The post included an old video of them taking photos together, which Moore had shared on his social media with a Spider emoji to hint at Spider-Man.
Harrier urged Moore to take down his post via her TikTok profile. Check it out below!
Well, Moore has apologised to Harrier and removed all of his posts featuring the video across his social media accounts after Harrier’s TikTok clip addressing the situation went viral within hours.
This is not the first time Moore has faced backlash. He also garnered negative attention from the fanbase when he posted a cryptic tweet on the same day his co-star and voice of Gwen Stacy, Hailee Steinfeld, announced her engagement.
Fans are upset with Moore’s actions, as they not only harm the actor and musician’s image but may also negatively impact Sony’s promotional tour for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Check out some of the tweets from fans!

This controversy could permanently tarnish Moore’s public image, potentially generating negative press for Beyond the Spider-Verse during its promotional tour. Fans’ dissatisfaction with Moore might dampen excitement for the film, leading to a decrease in support for both him and the threequel. It will be interesting to see how Sony responds, especially considering the hard work the production house is putting into Beyond the Spider-Verse. Stay tuned for further updates.
