Taken from a reddit post:
"We knew episode 11 was going to be a controversial one, but back when we filmed in November, the Alex Pretti killing had not happened yet. It was just a horrible, horrible coincidence that it mirrors what happens to Jesse.
Despite this, the Pitt fanbase has been hugely, hugely supportive of the portrayal and have reached out to praise the performance while stating how it made them sick to their stomachs.
Even saw a post in which someone asked "how desperate and pathetic of an actor someone must be to take a role like an ICE agent", and Pitt fans were extremely supportive of the cast in their replies.
You will sometimes get demonized by fans when playing roles like this, so I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for being so great.
(Note that I have not read any Facebook comments about the show)"
I'll note I have seen the post he refers to, i also saw a post that said ""I would play an ICE agent munching on a baby’s arm like a chicken wing if it got me on the The Pitt" "
