‘Vampire Diaries’ Star Accuses “Coward” Co-Star of Blacklisting Him From Fan Events Due to Pro-Israel Views

Nathaniel Buzolic, an actor known for his role on The Vampire Diaries, has publicly accused an unnamed co-star of quietly getting him banned from fan events because of his pro-Israel views. Coverage from IMDb, TheWrap, Yahoo, Page Six, and The Hollywood Reporter all carry the same core allegation: Buzolic labels the co-star a coward and says the blacklisting was done behind the scenes rather than openly. The reports do not name the co-star, nor do they specify which fan events were affected, when the alleged blacklisting began, or how many events Buzolic was excluded from. The coverage also does not include a response from the accused co-star or from any fan-event organizers.

The outlets emphasize Buzolic’s framing of the dispute as a personal and political conflict. TheWrap and Page Six both use the word coward in their headlines, while IMDb and Yahoo focus on the claim that the co-star acted quietly to keep Buzolic away from fan gatherings. The Hollywood Reporter ties the accusation directly to Buzolic’s pro-Israel views. Across all five sources, the story is presented as Buzolic’s claim without independent verification, and none of the outlets report that the co-star has commented publicly.

The Vampire Diaries aired on The CW and featured a large ensemble cast, and its alumni continue to appear at fan conventions and similar events years after the series ended. Fan events are often organized independently of the show’s original network or studio, which means coverage does not yet specify who controls guest lists or whether any contractual or organizational policies are involved in the alleged exclusion. Buzolic’s pro-Israel stance is mentioned as the stated reason for the blacklisting, but the headlines provide no further detail about his public statements on the issue or any prior disputes with the co-star.

What to watch next depends entirely on developments not yet in the coverage. It is not known whether the accused co-star will issue a statement, whether fan-event organizers will address the claim, or whether Buzolic will name the co-star or provide additional specifics. Because the current reporting rests on Buzolic’s accusation alone and identifies no other party, any further clarity would require new statements or reporting from the individuals or organizations involved.
