Referring to X, formerly of Twitter, fans are concerned about the situation, with one commenter speculating about North’s state of mind.
“You can see the madness in his eyes. Whatever Coke Austin North drinks is genuine; he must be psychotic from drugs,” the user said. “This situation will ruin his image. I don’t condone his actions, but I really feel sorry for him because this is ruining his image”.
Another commenter acknowledged the severity of the anxiety but questioned the lack of memory during the alleged panic attack, saying: “I have really bad anxiety and all but I still think she would remember the event during the panic attack. She literally attacked the nursing staff for no reason and that’s fine. I think there’s probably more to this story than what’s being said.”
A third commenter drew parallels between North’s alleged behavior and his character on “Outer Banks,” stating: “I’m sorry to say it but that’s a SOOO character for him. Topper is too easy to hate.”
Meanwhile, another questioned the legal consequences, stating: “So he only assaulted 3 healthcare workers, and that’s just a misdemeanor? It should be an automatic crime.”
