“A few accounts on X (formerly Twitter) have obviously been created with an intent to impersonate me and mislead people. I do not have an account on X, and I hope X looks into such accounts and suspends them,” she added.
“Entertainment should never come at the expense of the truth. Let’s encourage communication that’s based on trust and reality”, Sara concluded her statement.
