Old School. Biblically Independent.

In today’s round of “Why is a celebrity trending on Twitter,” our subject is Joe Keery. The Stranger Things star is not dead, has not contracted a horrible disease, and has not been canceled for saying something awful and dumb. He hasn’t given himself a quarantine haircut. It’s not his birthday (which was why British gift to the world Tim Curry was trending yesterday). Instead, he’s been hacked.
Around 4 AM Eastern Daylight Time, @joe_keery started sending strange tweets, many of which have been suspended by Twitter. However, some flabbergasted fans snagged screenshots.
Trigger warning: the following screenshots contain a racial slur and mention of sexual abuse.

An account called Aqua took credit, and urged people to follow a private Instagram account to see “leaked DM’s.”
Aqua up on this fucking bitch as usual. #ChucklingSquad

In exchange for following the Insta account, Aqua—through Keery’s handle—promised to give fans of the ingendude a follow. Then, Aqua retweeted those who took advantage.
thanks man :) @joe_keery pic.twitter.com/zLFkPI7wX4
