'Grey's Anatomy' Season 16: Fans are angry about Jackson's Freedom post after breaking up with Maggie

Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) breaks it to Maggie how Jackson posted a sunset photo and captioned it 'freedom'

The second episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 16 put many couples back in the saddle. However, one pair on the show — Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) — seems to have completely pulled the plug off their relationship. One week after their argument, they were still broken up and Jackson started hanging around with his new love interest Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss) from Station 19. 

Jackson's jackass attitude after breaking up with Maggie was already getting on fans' nerves but he takes it to another level up with an insensitive post on Instagram. In one scene, Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) breaks it to Maggie how Jackson posted a sunset photo last night captioned "#Freedom" and called it "ewww."

Fans seem to share Maggie's sentiments as they started posting their thoughts on Twitter. "Freedom? Yeah me too Jackson I feel freedom from that horrendous relationship too #GreysAnatomy," one user wrote and another one posted, "Ughhh, so we really doing this Jackson and Maggie nasty breakup. This is dumb as hell!! #GreysAnatomy."

Maggie was visibly upset and she had another confrontation with Jackson after that, where he again was acting like a total jerk. She told him that the reason why he chose Vic was that he is happy to be with a firefighter not as smart as him so he can exert his control over her in his new relationship. Of course, her snarky remarks did not go down too well with Jackson. "I do not approve of these latest developments in the Maggie - Jackson love situation. #GreysAnatomy," one fan wrote and another one posted, "Maggie and Jackson really suffocated each other in that relationship. #GreysAnatomy."

Remembering April Kepner's (Sarah Drew) perfect relationship with Jackson, one user wrote, "I miss Jackson and April so much. @GreysABC ruined everything smh," and another fan wrote on the micro-blogging website, "Maggie is better without Jackson who has to always be in a relationship. Men who can't alone scare me. #GreysAnatomy." As the third episode airs on Thursday, October 10 on ABC, the air over Jackson and Maggie's breakup might soon wash away and both of them could simply go about their own independent lives.
