Noah Schnapp, the 19-year-old actor who portrays Will Byers in Netflix’s smash hit “Stranger Things,” found himself at the center of controversy after a reported incident at a New York City nightclub early Saturday morning.

According to Page Six, Schnapp’s night took a turn for the worse after attempting to socialize with patrons enjoying bottle service. The report details how Schnapp offered them tequila shots, but was met with rejections due to his age. This dismissal allegedly triggered a visible shift in Schnapp’s demeanor, escalating to what bystanders described as “aggressively intoxicated” behavior. Security personnel intervened and escorted Schnapp out of the venue, The Palace, around 1:30 am ET.

Representatives for both Schnapp and The Palace have remained silent on the matter. Page Six claims to have obtained footage showing Schnapp in various states of inebriation inside the nightclub.

This latest incident adds to a string of controversies surrounding the young actor. In 2020, Schnapp vehemently denied accusations of racial slur use after a video resurfaced online. He was embroiled in another social media spat two years later with singer Doja Cat. The discord stemmed from Schnapp sharing private messages Doja Cat had sent him, where she expressed interest in being introduced to his “Stranger Things” co-star Joseph Quinn.

Schnapp’s recent actions have sparked a fresh wave of public criticism. While details remain unclear, it’s evident the situation has tarnished his image yet again.
