Neither Netflix nor the show's creators have commented on the controversy

Gentry recently posted a message on his Instagram, although he did not directly address Swift's saga

"Thank you for all your love and support for me and our show Ginny and Georgia over the last week I would have never imagined this as a young girl--that is, having an influential voice," Gentry wrote
