“There’s nothing anybody can do about this. There’s nothing anybody can do to stop this hate,” she said in an Instagram story, via CNN.
“The thing that bothers me is … this feeling of like, I just gotta shut up and take it, I just have to grin and bear it. And I’m not built like that,” she continued.
“Thank you to the people who show up for me in the comments and in the places that I’m not going to put myself. And to the rest of y’all, y’all weird.”
Since opening up about the messages, Star Wars and her Obi-Wan Kenobi co-stars have shown their support for the rising star.
“We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family and excited for Reva’s story to unfold. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist,” the official Star Wars Twitter page posted.
“There are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don’t choose to be a racist,” the company added in a follow-up tweet.
Ingram’s co-star Ewan McGregor also voiced his opinion on the hate messages, calling her “a brilliant actor” in a video posted on the Star Wars Twitter page.

“It just sickened me to my stomach to hear that this had been happening,” McGregor said in the video.
“We stand with Moses, we love Moses.
“And if you’re sending her bullying messages, you’re no ‘Star Wars’ fan in my mind,” he added.
What is Moses Ingram’s net worth?
A career in the entertainment industry often comes with a large payday, and Ingram’s is no exception.
Because the star is just at the beginning of her career, her net worth is not as high as other stars in the Star Wars franchise, but she is well on her way to earning more.
As of May 2022, she has an estimated net worth of $500,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
This number comes from contract negotiations on her various projects.
