On Tuesday afternoon, the biography of the late star changed to “hacked by @yeatarchive on IG”, an account that no longer exists on Instagram, followed by many strange tweets. The posts – screenshots of which were pasted by the Daily Mail before being deleted – included lewd messages and the promotion of various OnlyFans and porn accounts. A particularly tasteless tweet wrote: “I’m dead because of @yeatarchive on IG. F – k that mf. ” Users immediately shared their disgust with the alleged piracy. “People are stupid,” one person wrote, while another added: “Anyone who hacks into Gilbert Gottfried’s account after he died for things only from fans is pathetic.” “Anyone who hacked Gilbert Gottfried’s twitter, shame on you. “It’s very disrespectful,” someone else wrote on Twitter. Gottfried’s representatives have not yet responded to our request for comment. However, the reporter told Rolling Stone that he did not know what had happened to the page of the late star, while a Twitter spokesman told the agency that “they were looking into the matter, but so far they have not seen anything to suggest hacking.” The page was deleted for a while, but since then it has been restored with the CV: “In memorium [sic]. » Gilbert Gottfried’s Twitter account was apparently breached on Tuesday, hours after his family announced his death. Getty Images for SiriusXM As we mentioned, the comedian died at the age of 67 from a heart abnormality called ventricular tachycardia due to myotonic dystrophy type II. According to the Mayo Clinic, ventricular tachycardia is “a problem of heart rhythm caused by irregular electrical signals in the lower chambers of the heart.” Myotonic dystrophy is a type of genetic muscular dystrophy that, according to the National Institutes of Health, affects “the muscles and other systems of the body.” His family, however, kept the details to a minimum – saying in a statement that “the most iconic voice in comedy” had passed away “after a long illness”. “Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children,” the statement said in part. “Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing out loud in Gilbert’s honor. “Love, the Gottfried family.” Gottfried began his career at the age of 15, making standup comedy in New York. By the 1980s, he had appeared on “Late Night with David Letterman” and had a brief appearance on “Saturday Night Live”. The comic book voiced the famous voice of Iago, Jafar’s confidant in Disney’s “Aladdin”, and lent his unique pipes to Aflac ads. His long list of contributors also includes “Beverly Hills Cop II”, “Problem Child”, “Look Who’s Talking II” and “The Aristocrats”.
