Christina Applegate’s representative confirmed that the actress’ Twitter account has been hacked, The Daily Beast reported Tuesday.
“Her account was indeed hacked. We are trying to fix that,” a rep for Applegate told the Daily Beast. The “Bad Moms” actress’ account boasts a following of more than 1.6 million users, which started sharing a series of out-of-character posts about cryptocurrency Tuesday.
One of the few dubious posts about NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and cryptocurrency reads: “I am loving NFTs! I almost lost my NFTs a few days ago, I had to migrate my NFTs cause of the new contract upgrade! DONT LOSE YOUR MONEY!!!! I CARE ABOUT ALL MY FANS!!! I ❤️ CRYPTO! #CRYPTO #Bitcoin📷 #Ethereum.”

Applegate’s followers started to question whether the posts were actually shared by the actress herself. The hacker then appeared to respond with, “Everyone, i am not hacked. I have simply been struggling with my illness and have been looking into internet currency (like Cryptocurrency) please stop this accusation. Thank you. I don’t like being made fun of.”
In addition to the posts about cryptocurrencies, the hacker also took the liberty to interact with a few fans and responded to someone who had suggested a cryptocurrency-related book to the actress. (RELATED: ‘I Can’t Walk Without A Cane’: Christina Applegate Reveals Her Struggle With MS)
