Nathaniel Buzolic has survived centuries of daggers, repeated betrayals, resurrection troubles, and even the indignity of being trapped in a witch’s body, but apparently, none of Mystic Falls prepared him for real-life co-star drama. After enduring instability, loss, and eventual exile across The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, the actor now claims a former co-star has taken issue with his political views on Palestine, allegedly getting him banned from fan events.

As Nathaniel Buzolic now reveals, the alleged fallout went considerably further than an awkward reunion, with the actor detailing the lengths his former co-star supposedly went to keep him away from conventions.

Nathaniel Buzolic has now offered more details about the alleged fallout, claiming that a former co-star from The Vampire Diaries went behind the scenes to prevent him from attending fan conventions where they would both be present. The actor discussed the situation in an Instagram video posted Monday, addressing fans of both supernatural dramas.

“There’s an actor that I worked with who has had me banned from attending fan events if he’s there, quietly," he said.

Buzolic went on to claim that the alleged interference extended beyond convention appearances, suggesting that the same actor also attempted to affect his professional opportunities. He added that the situation had left fans wondering why he had been noticeably absent from certain events.

“But he also wanted to stop me from getting work and meeting with fans at fan events. So if you’ve noticed my absence, that’s why,” he added.  Buzolic further alleged that the situation was about limiting his ability to earn a living, before signing off with a familiar nod to his supernatural television past: “always and forever, eh”.

The actor also addressed the alleged falling-out in the caption accompanying his Instagram post.

“Telling the truth will always cost you something but at least you will never become a coward. I remember when he didn’t want to do fan events cause he thought he was above that. Can you guess who?” he wrote. He did not identify the co-star, leaving fans to speculate about the identity behind the claims.

While Nathaniel Buzolic’s absence from fan events might be the next big The Vampire Diaries talking point since Nina Dobrev’s exit, fans might also be curious about what the actor has lined up next.

While Nathaniel Buzolic’s latest revelations might give The Vampire Diaries fandom another major talking point, his professional calendar looks rather different from his Mystic Falls days. The actor has stepped back from mainstream Hollywood acting, with no upcoming movies or scripted television projects currently on his slate. Instead, Buzolic has shifted his attention towards faith-based travel, podcasting, and political advocacy, including hosting Christian-focused content and appearing on podcasts such as Covenant & Conflict and Livin’ Large.

As for his recent screen appearances, Buzolic last played Jesse Folino in the crime thriller Mob Cops and also competed on the reality show Rokdim Im Kokhavim. With no new scripted projects announced, fans may be curious about whether the actor has another screen appearance waiting around the corner.
