The Kraken Awakens: How Jason Momoa Blacklisted Xavier Smalls After Toxic “Abomination” Comments
The glitz and glamour of Hollywood often hide deep-seated hypocrisy, but in April 2026, the veil has been torn away. Xavier Smalls, the actor who rose to fame as the queer character “Angel” in Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black, is learning a $15 million lesson: you cannot profit from a community you publicly dehumanize. After a leaked video captured Smalls calling the LGBTQ+ lifestyle an “abomination,” Hollywood’s most formidable protector, Jason Momoa, stepped in to deliver justice.
The “Gay-for-Pay” Betrayal
Xavier Smalls was a rising star. His portrayal of a gay dancer was hailed as “groundbreaking” and “deeply empathetic.” Fans across the globe connected with his character’s struggle for acceptance. However, while Smalls was collecting Netflix checks and praise from queer audiences, he was allegedly harboring a dark, bigoted secret.
In a resurfaced live stream, Smalls let his true colors show. Ignoring the very people who built his career, he stated: “The LGBTQ+ lifestyle is an abomination to me… God is holy, and He cannot dwell with unholy people.” He went on to compare queer identities to violent crimes, shattering the hearts of the millions of fans who saw him as an ally.
Jason Momoa: The Defender of Ohana
Jason Momoa is known for his “Aquaman” strength, but his true power lies in his fierce loyalty to his “Ohana”—his family, which includes the global community of fans from all walks of life. Momoa has never been a “quiet” ally; he is a man of action who believes that respect is the minimum requirement for existing in the spotlight.
When news of Smalls’s rant reached Momoa, the veteran actor didn’t just post a hashtag. Insiders report that Momoa was “visibly shaken” by the betrayal. Using his massive influence as a producer and a staple of major franchises, Momoa reportedly led a charge to ensure Smalls would never work on a major set again.
“There is no room in this industry for cowards who take money from a community and then spit on them in private,” Momoa reportedly roared in a high-level meeting. “If you think my friends and my fans are an ‘abomination,’ then you have no place on my screen. Period.”
The Permanent Blacklist
The fallout was surgical and absolute. By 9:00 PM tonight, news broke that Xavier Smalls had been placed on an unofficial but devastating industry “blacklist.” Major talent agencies have begun severing ties, and three upcoming blockbusters Smalls was rumored to join have officially scrubbed his name from the cast lists.
The “Momoa Effect” is real. When the most respected man in Hollywood calls for accountability, the industry listens. The $15 million in projected earnings for Smalls’s upcoming projects has vanished, replaced by the deafening silence of a career that burned out in a single night of hate.
Why This Inspires a Generation
This story is moving fans because it proves that “star power” cannot protect you from the consequences of hate. For the LGBTQ+ youth who felt broken after hearing Smalls’s words, Jason Momoa’s intervention is a beacon of hope. It shows that the industry’s biggest heroes are willing to put their own reputations on the line to protect the marginalized.
Momoa didn’t just “cancel” a bigot; he protected the sanctity of storytelling. He sent a message that if you represent a community on screen, you better have the heart to respect them off screen.
The Death of the Religious Shield
Xavier Smalls tried to hide behind his faith, claiming his words were just “religious conviction.” But as Momoa and millions of fans pointed out, faith is about love, not dehumanization. The “honesty” excuse failed because it was fueled by cruelty.
In 2026, the public is smarter. We know the difference between a personal belief and a toxic attack. Smalls’s defiant stance backfired because he underestimated the empathy of the modern audience—and the fury of a man like Jason Momoa.
A New Standard for Character
This $15 million loss is a warning to every actor in Hollywood. Your “method” doesn’t matter if your character is rotten. PR firms are scrambling tonight to conduct deep-background checks on their clients, terrified of the next “abomination” video.
Jason Momoa’s stand has redefined allyship. It’s not about a pride flag in a bio; it’s about making the hard calls that ensure bigots don’t profit from the stories of the people they hate.
The Final Word: The Future is Inclusive
As Xavier Smalls fades into the “Blacklist,” a new generation of actors is watching. They are learning that the key to longevity in Hollywood isn’t just talent—it’s respect.
To the fans who felt betrayed by Angel: your identity is a gift, not a sin. You have giants like Jason Momoa in your corner, and as tonight proved, when the Kraken awakens to defend the truth, hate doesn’t stand a chance.
