Why Kendall Jenner\u2019s TikTok account was suddenly deleted Kendall Jenner, Instagram \/ Freepik.com, TikTokReality TV star and American model Kendall Jenner debuted her highly-anticipated TikTok account on February 2 \u2014 but just 24 hours later, her profile was nowhere to be found. Jenner made her appearance on the platform with a video set to King Staccz\u2019s \u201cPretty Face,\u201d which subsequently went viral. Boasting over 920,000 likes, the model\u2019s account quickly garnered a similarly massive following, with half a million users flocking to stay tuned to her upcoming content. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MARGlELJUANA\/status\/1224432215343292417?s=20 Unfortunately, these fans won\u2019t be receiving any new videos from the Jenner family mogul anytime soon, as her TikTok profile disappeared without any fanfare the very next day. Both TikTok and Jenner herself didn\u2019t comment on profile\u2019s mysterious deletion at the time, which came shortly after the suspension of YouTuber Tana Mongeau\u2019s own channel on the highly popular mobile app. However, Mongeau gave a convincing explanation for the development, claiming that she had \u201cthrown a bong\u201d during one of her videos (although her \u201cpromise\u201d to wear clothes had fans confused as to the actual reason for her surprise ban for a moment). In comparison, it didn\u2019t seem like Jenner had committed any faux-pas on the app, prompting critics to scratch their heads in concern and throw around theories as to why her account has gone missing. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzFAeOfBuL6\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Now, they have an explanation, and it takes a turn worthy of a mystery novel: it seems that Kendall\u2019s account wasn\u2019t actually Jenner at all, but instead an impersonator, who posted old videos to the site from the model\u2019s Instagram stories using her name. Thus, TikTok\u2019s suspension of the account comes as a welcome development, although the company has yet to comment on how or why the fake Kendall Jenner was verified, in the first place. TikTok\u2019s verification guide states that there are \u201ca number of factors considered in granting a verified badge, including whether the notable account is authentic, unique, active, and \u2013 of course \u2013 adheres to our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.\u201d We\u2019ll bet that impersonating a celebrity goes against those Guidelines, although further info from the site is still pending at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
