Several mostly B-list Hollywood actors look like sore losers and have now called for a boycott of Georgia’s film industry after Republican Brian Kemp officially won the state’s gubernatorial contest.

The calls went out after Democrat Stacey Abrams announced Friday that she would no longerchallenge the election results and would acknowledged Kemp would be the winner.

However, she refused to concede to Kemp, saying, “Concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper.”

Abrams has continued to argue, without evidence, that Kemp purposely suppressed black voters while he led the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.

Soon after, several actors tweeted out calls to boycott the entertainment industry in the state as a sign of support for Abrams.

There are over 20 productions currently shooting in Georgia.
