'This is absolutely not a narrative about me,' Cole Sprouse wrote while using the story of his arrest to shine a light on protestors and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The star shared an Instagram post on Monday with a Black Lives Matter graphic and a caption detailing his arrest in California. "A group of peaceful protesters, myself included, were arrested yesterday in Santa Monica," he wrote. "So before the voracious horde of media sensationalism decides to somehow turn it about me, there’s a clear need to speak about the circumstances: Black Lives Matter. Peace, riots, looting, are an absolutely legitimate form of protest.
"I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica. We were given the option to leave, and were informed that if we did not retreat, we would be arrested," he continued. "When many did turn to leave, we found another line of police officers blocking our route, at which point, they started zip tying us.
Sprouse took care to deflect attention away from himself, emphasizing the Black Lives Matter movement and the importance of providing allyship. "This is ABSOLUTELY not a narrative about me, and I hope the media doesn’t make it such," he wrote. "This is, and will be, a time about standing ground near others as a situation escalates, providing educated support, demonstrating and doing the right thing. This is precisely the time to contemplate what it means to stand as an ally.
He also remarked upon the presence of cameras within the police cruisers where he and others were detained. "I noticed that there are cameras that roll within the police cruisers during the entirety of our detainment, hope it helps," he noted.
