Stephen King is urging his fans not to turn away from his work after a storm of controversy shook his career. A major publishing house has just canceled his books following a mistake he admits was his own—falsely attributing a statement to Charlie Kirk about wanting gays to be stoned. King quickly deleted the post and publicly apologized, calling it an honest mistake. But the backlash has been relentless, leaving him stunned at how one misstep could threaten to erase a lifetime of storytelling. “I don’t understand why people want to destroy my life and legacy over this,” King said. “I made a mistake, and I owned up to it. That shouldn’t mean the end of everything I’ve built.” Now, he’s asking readers to separate the man’s error from the art he has created. His new book and upcoming film, projects years in the making, remain deeply important to him. He hopes fans will still read his latest story and fill theaters for his newest movie, rather than let this controversy define his career
