Hudson Williams isn’t staying quiet. The actor, best known as Shane Hollander in the hit hockey romance Heated Rivalry, used his Instagram this week to weigh in on the Cornell sexual assault case that has drawn national attention.

The case stems from a lawsuit filed by a former Cornell student against the university and seven Chi Phi fraternity members. She alleges that in October 2024 she was drugged and sexually assaulted for hours at the frat house. According to the lawsuit, one of the men messaged the group chat that there was “free p***y” upstairs.

She reported the assault to campus police weeks later. No one was criminally charged at the time, but the district attorney has since reopened the criminal investigation.

Williams didn’t mince words. He shared a photo of the seven accused men on his Instagram story and wrote: “Arrest them. F*ck them and f*ck Cornell, too!”

His post adds a high-profile voice to a case that continues to gather scrutiny — both of the accused men and of how Cornell handled the allegations.
