Gavin Casalegno Just Broke His Silence on the Jeremiah Hate — And It’s Explosive
As The Summer I Turned Pretty fandom tears itself apart, Gavin delivers a fiery message that flips the love triangle on its head.
This isn’t just a defense — it’s a challenge that could rewrite how fans see Jeremiah heading into Season 3.

👉 The fallout from his words will shake Cousins Beach

“I think it’s important to also understand and realize that this is a fictional story.”

Even if you’re not watching season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty right now, you’ve probably seen all the discourse surrounding Team Jeremiah vs. Team Conrad (I mean, even Delta has weighed in!). And as a result, you might be wondering how Gavin Casalegno feels about all the Jeremiah hate. During a new interview with The New York Times, the actor opened up about playing “one of the internet’s most hated boyfriends,” calling the experience “comical.”

As Gavin explained, “I don’t check Instagram anymore, so I really haven’t seen that much hate. The only thing that I see is my sister sending me the memes that are really funny. I think it’s important to also understand and realize that this is a fictional story—and it’s also not me.”

Gavin also pointed out that—despite what fans might believe—he doesn’t have all that much in common with his onscreen character, saying, “We’re both very social and try to be the life of the party and please everybody—we’re very similar in that aspect. But, obviously, as far as the immature side of things and the partying, I was never a partyer. I don’t even like going to work parties. It’s not who I am at all.”

Oh, and if you’ve been wondering whether Gavin is tuning in every week to watch the latest episode of TSITP, we finally have an answer: He’s not. “I honestly haven’t even really watched any of the show,” he said. “Because, you know, when you’re in it, you know what’s happening. And so it’s like: why?”

You might recall that, before this season even aired, Prime Video tried to get ahead of the drama by asking viewers to abstain from bullying either the show’s stars or fellow fans.

But in Gavin’s experience, that no-tolerance policy wasn’t as effective as they’d hoped it would be.

As he told The New York Times, “I don’t think there’s a single human being in the world who can carry the emotional negativity to the degree that stuff like this happens. And I think that’s why Amazon did a good job of stepping in and being like, ‘Hey, no bullying.’ Though, not really going so well.”
