Hudson Williams is facing criticism due to an old high school photo.

The Heated Rivalry star is under fire after a picture emerged online showing a young Williams with markings made by a permanent marker, including a swastika on his forehead.

A source close to Williams informed TMZ that the 25-year-old was unaware of what was being drawn on him at the time the photo was taken, which occurred during a high school trip where graduating seniors partake in an annual tradition of doodling on each other with markers. Other sources described the incident as a group of underage kids engaging in “dumb things” and stated that Williams now deeply regrets any hurt he may have caused.

As an unnamed friend of Williams stated, “The markings do not and have never reflected Hudson’s beliefs, values, or character.”

E! News has reached out to a representative for Williams for comment but has not yet received a response.
