A Disney Junior-branded Twitter account has been suspended after receiving a gold tick from the social media platform.<\/p>\n
The account, which has the handle @DisneyJuniorUK but is completely unaffiliated with Disney, has been removed in the last few minutes.<\/p>\n
The account holder tweeted “no f***ing way” earlier this morning in the UK — an apparent reference to the verification. It’s unknown how the holder got the gold tick, which is reserved for the official and verified accounts of businesses who pay $1,000 per month.<\/p>\n
The account tweeted several other messages before being shut down, including one using a racial slur and profanity against Twitter CEO Elon Musk and another claiming adult animation South Park<\/em> was launching on Disney Junior in May.<\/p>\n They also used another account to launch a poll as to whether they should shut down the account and another saying they had noticed they were “in control” of the account two days ago.<\/p>\n Replying to a question about how they got hold of the tick, they replied it had “just appeared out of nowhere.” According to Twitter, the account has existed since June 2021.<\/p>\n We understand Disney reps in the UK became aware of the fake account this morning and contacted counterparts at Twitter immediately. The account was suspended by 11.30am British Summer Time.<\/p>\n Several Twitters users spotted the apparent mistake, with some decrying the ongoing confusion over verification after Twitter removed and then reinstated several blue ticks over the weekend. <\/p>\n Disney declined to comment and Deadline has reached out to the account holder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nMust Read Stories<\/h2>\n
