The article details several possibilities for how the account may have been compromised, highlighting the importance of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication for securing social media accounts, especially for celebrities with large followings.

How exactly do you expect actors to make movies and TV shows and not become famous? Every show and movie has new people, most of them who can't act?

Your thinking is so interesting that I need to learn the way you think. Please answer this if you don't mind: If someone who are good at what they are doing are garbage, how do you define those that are not good at what they are doing?

For me that's just envy. You define people based on what you don't get.
