Alex released a statement on Friday saying social-media users had crossed a line by leaving “vile” comments on his wife’s Instagram account, including on photos of their young child. “I’m all for the booktok community to write books and fiction about hockey, but the aggressive language about real-life players is too much. It has turned into daily and weekly comments on our personal social media. This is not something we support or want our child to grow up with.
calling her “insecure” and defending Lewis. Then there are the BookTok members, including Lewis, who have taken issue with how the Kraken seemingly profited from the subcommunity’s active users to grow its following and gain more engagement only to dump them when they were no longer of use.
