Johnny Depp issues warning to fans after Instagram and TikTok fandom grows
Johnny Depp is issuing a warning to his fans over his social media presence.
The actor, who recently won a defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, shared a statement to his Instagram Stories on Sunday (19 June).
Depp was addressing the rise on fake profiles pretending to be him, capitalising on the public interest in the actor following the trial.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star amassed 10 million followers within 24 hours of posting his first TikTok video. Before that, he reached more than three million followers without sharing a single video. As of writing, he has 15.1 million followers on TikTok, and 25.9 million followers on Instagram.
“I’ve been made aware that there are fake accounts pretending to be me or people working with me,” he wrote.
“I do not have any private or side accounts on any platforms. These are the only pages run by me and my team where we share updates and communicate: Instagram @JohnnyDepp TikTok @JohnnyDepp Facebook @JohnnyDepp Discord @JohnnyDepp0854.”
He urged his fans to “remain cautious as it seems these fake accounts can be relentless. My team is working to combat the problem. Thank you for your continued support and for making me aware of this issue! Love & respect, JD xx.”
