Addison Rae gets suspended TikTok account back after being hacked Instagram: Addison RaeInfluencer Addison Rae\u2019s 55.5 million follower TikTok account was hacked on August 14, before being suspended altogether for a brief period for \u201cviolating community guidelines.\u201d Addison Rae is one of the most popular creators on the app, and according to a Forbes article on August 6 is also among the highest earners, supposedly raking in over $5 million dollars this year. With an enormous follower base of over 50 million Addison has accumulated some fiercely loyal fans, and a platform for new business ventures. She even launched her own makeup line called \u2018Item Beauty\u2019 that became available to purchase on August 11. However, that loyal fan base became concerned on August 14 when a look at Addison\u2019s TikTok profile revealed some unusual activity. Her username had been changed from her original \u2018addisonre\u2019 to \u2018joeandzak1\u2019 and a number of videos were posted that clearly did not belong to Addison. While in the control of joeandzak1 for a short while, TikTok quickly banned the account for \u201cviolating community guidelines.\u201d This scared fans, as both Addison\u2019s 50 million follower count and 3 billion views seemed to disappear. At this stage, it was unclear whether her account would be restored as it was difficult to discern how much damage the hacker had caused, aside from the cosmetic changes. To fans relief, Addison\u2019s account was restored in full just a few hours later, with all 2000 videos, her full subscriber and like count just as they were prior to the hack. While she didn\u2019t say a huge amount online during the incident, she made sure to let her fans know what was happening. In a tweet liked by over 100,000 people she said \u201cmy TikTok is hacked\u201d and a few hours later, \u201cwhy am I crying?\u201d Addison\u2019s fans took to Twitter to express their support for their favorite creator. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, thinking about you queen,\u201d one person said. Another called her one of the \u201cbiggest icons in the world right now\u201d and that \u201cthings will get better.\u201d Loss it is an upsetting feeling I know. But one day things will get better. You just have to push for it. There are so many roads to go down you don\u2019t even know. You\u2019re practically one of the most biggest icons in the world right now. Use that to your advantage and cherish it. \u2014 ?\u263f \/\/ angel \/\/ ?? \u2022 #blacklivesmatter \u2022 ?\ufe0f\u262a\ufe0f?

Some said \u201cto whoever hacked and deleted Addison Rae\u2019s account, pls do it again,\u201d and joked about the idea that she would have to work at a fast-food restaurant if her account was truly gone. https:\/\/twitter.com\/yuhhbruh\/status\/1294498777034887168 Addison Rae coming home from her first day as a Mcdonald\u2019s cashier now that her tiktok is gone pic.twitter.com\/V7ShEHxFsm \u2014 Miles\ud83e\ude90 (@GvoMiles) August 15, 2020 It seems that for the time being Addison has regained full access to her account and things are running normally again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
