Addressing the alarming activity, Shruti took to Instagram to share a story that read:
“Hi lovelies, just want to let you know my twitter account has been hacked. That’s not me posting, so don’t interact with that page till I’m back please 🙏❤️”
The public message aimed to caution her followers about ongoing activity from the compromised account and warned them against engaging with any posts originating from it.
Bizarre Tweets Spark Concern Among Fans
- The tweets made from Shruti’s X account were uncharacteristic and unrelated to her usual content.
- One notable tweet mentioned:
“Wait… @mcuban really dropped a memecoin? Just spotted it on @JaredDudley619, assistant coach of the Mavs.” - Other tweets vaguely promoted crypto and memecoin projects with no context or explanation.
- Fans quickly suspected a hack, as the content did not align with Shruti’s personality or prior activity.
Despite growing concerns, as of now, no official statement has been issued by her management or PR team. The questionable tweets remain visible on her timeline, further suggesting an ongoing breach.
