On a recent episode of "Dragon's Den," the Canadian equivalent of "Shark Tank," actor and investor Simu Liu called out a Quebec bubble tea brand for cultural appropriation. Now, he's asking fans to turn down the temperature. In a TikTok posted on Sunday, he reiterated his views, pointing out the difference between paying homage and being exploitative, but highlighted that the backlash had been too extreme. “On the flip side, I’ve been made aware that the business owners have received a lot of death threats and harassment and otherwise just kind of bullying and dogpiling, and I just want to say that, full stop, it’s never okay to make threats," he said.
