“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” star Walker Scobell wrote on his Instagram Story Sunday that he will be skipping his high school prom because many of his prospective dates have received death threats from obsessive fans.

“Just to let everyone know, I will not be attending prom,” he wrote. “Please stop sending death threats to EVERY teenage girl who could remotely be associated with me based on their proximity to where I live. It’s not fair to them or to their families. Maybe also just stop sending death threats in general. That’s just not cool. Kinda weird I have to say this.”
