Xena's Lucy Lawless Slams Hercules Star Kevin Sorbo for Transphobic Comment [View all]

Hollywood icon and Xena: Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless shut down Kevin Sorbo.

Lawless took Sorbo to task on Twitter on April 3, retweeting one of the former Hercules actor's posts with the caption, "P(nut), you who have EVERYTHING, why do you have to stomp on Transpeople to feel taller?" Lawless ended her post with, "To Kevin, with love."

Lawless made her first appearance alongside Sorbo's Hercules in 1994's Hercules and the Amazon Women, in which she played the part of Lysia. Lawless would go on to portray the character Lyla in two episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, before taking up the instantly iconic role of Xena. Although The Legendary Journeys only lasted 111 episodes and a handful of television movies over its 6-season runtime, the Lawless-led Xena: Warrior Princess surpassed that with 134 episodes across the same number of seasons.

Lawless joins original Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter as the latest action icon in the news for making a stand in favor of trans rights. In March 2023, Carter shared a post to Twitter which detailed how her words had helped a trans fan's father come to accept them. Carter accompanied the post with, "Let him know I would be proud of him if he could find it in his heart to accept his trans child."
