Leonardo DiCaprio is speaking out after being the subject of some wild accusations. On Friday, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro accused the 45-year-old actor of paying to have wildfires set in the Amazon.

The right-wing leader made these accusations without any evidence supporting his claims. He also went on to accuse the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) of being complicit in order to solicit donations from the public.

Leonardo responded to these claims on Saturday, with a statement shared on his social media accounts. Leonardo has long been an advocate for environmental causes. He is one of the most outspoken celebrities on such subjects, including climate change.

Naturally, he refuted the claims while continuing his commitment to the Amazon and Brazilians. Along with his own statement, Leonardo shared statements from CEO and Chief Scientist of Global Wildlife Conservation, Wes Sechrest, and IUCN Species Survival Commission Chair Jon Paul Rodriguez, who stand in solidarity with Leo.

Who's more likely involved in this violence against nature, the citizens of the Amazon, the precious fauna and flora there for millenia, a guy in Hollywood, or the one who campaigned upon taking away the land from the indigenous people whose home it is, and campaigned upon driving them out of the Amazon, and using the land for agriculture, timber, and mining?
