foxnews.com:

James Van Der Beek hates fire ants, and he wants the whole world to know. The "Dawson’s Creek" actor went viral on TikTok on Friday after posting a video of himself ranting about the amount of fire ants he’s had to deal with since moving to Texas and how annoying he finds dealing with them. "I didn’t move here to try to recreate California, I moved her because I really like Texas so therefore, I’m very hesitant to speak ill of anybody who was here before I was, however f*** fire ants," Van Der Beek said in his TikTok. "I hope they get stung in their eye by other fire ants and I hope they have to deal with the itching and the pain and the little pusy boils that come afterwards."

Shortly after their move, the actor explained in a vulnerable Instagram post why he and his wife chose to make the move, citing extreme personal losses as their reason.

He attributed two miscarriages, a cancer scare, getting voted off "Dancing With The Stars," the loss of his mother and the pandemic as some of the hardships which contributed to their decision.
