While the fast-spreading LA fires wreak havoc, claiming lives and destroying property, Henry Winkler’s remarks on social media have sparked heated debates. The actor, known for his role in Happy Days, suggested that the fire might not have been caused naturally. His comment invited backlash, leaving the internet divided over whether there’s merit to his claims or if they are simply bizarre.
Here’s what Winkler’s theory suggests.
What did Henry Winkler say about L.A fire?
Like other celebrities, Winkler reacted to the horrific LA Fires, which continue to wreak a lot of damage and have sparked fears among locals. He took to X (formerly Twitter) sharing a contrary opinion to what some experts have claimed earlier. Experts earlier stated that “dry weather and strong winds” were probably the cause of the fires that have wreaked havoc in the city. However, Winkler doesn’t agree with this point.
In his tweet, he allegedly said that an arsonist was responsible for the fires and went on to criticize them for endangering the city. He wrote, “THERE IS an ARSONIST here in LA. May you be beaten you unrecognizable !!! The pain you have caused !!!” His post quickly went viral, dividing public opinion. Supporters applauded his bold stance, while critics labeled his statement reckless, considering the ongoing investigation.
Despite Winkler’s assertion, the LA Fire Department dismissed the arson theory on Thursday, stating there was no solid evidence to back such claims. (via TMZ)
Following Winkler’s remarks, other public figures joined the conversation. Actress Yvette Nicole Brown, for instance, expressed similar concerns. Posting on Threads, she speculated, “It’s time to start considering that some of these fires may be being SET at this point. This sunset fire is looking very suspicious. Arson.”
After Winkler’s theory went viral on the internet, Senior National Correspondent of News Nation, Brian Entin continued to solidify the claims in his tweet. He revealed, “Victory Trailhead is now a crime scene and Kenneth Fire is an arson investigation with 1 person in custody.”
