Image via Digital Focus/Splash News Chole Bennet Goes OFF On Commenter Who Questioned Her Asian Name Change Again, we don’t see any lies . You may not be too familiar with actress Chloe Bennet unless you’re a big fan of the ABC show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but she recently did something that will probably make you remember her name. Her REAL name. According to PEOPLE , Chloe took to Instagram to sing effusive praise of Ed Skrein for resigning from his Hellboy role where he was to play a whitewashed Asian character. One fan commented that Chloe should STFU because she changed her OG surname to “Bennet” from “Wang”. Suffice to say, she was triggered and her reactionary thumbs went to work: “Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin, or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese,” Bennet replied. “It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable,” she continued. “I’m doing everything I can, with the platform I have, to make sure no one has to change their name again, just so they can get work. So kindly love, f— off.” Brrrat! Brrrat! Skrr-skrrrrrt! Guess the IG user who made the comment got more than he or she bargained for, their account has been deleted.
