In an Instagram video, the New Zealand actor said he lost a job after the "Do Me Right" music video allegedly used his image, likeness and even tattoos.
Apa said the association means he can no longer be considered for serious roles because people think he is a joke, and he branded Mr Fantasy a liar and thief.
The video features Riverdale co-stars Camila Mendes, Lili Reinhart and Madelaine Petsch, but fans still suspect Mr Fantasy is Apa's own alter ego and no public response has appeared.

Why would KJ Apa's celebrity friends help an impersonator who he claims is destroying his career?
