TikTok gave a verifying blue check mark on an impostor account for model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner
New York Kendall Jenner made waves on social media this week after she joined TikTok, the buzzy short-form video platform. There was just one problem: it wasn't her.
The account, which had received a blue check mark indicating the platform had"verified" it was the model and reality TV star, turned out to be an imposter. It was up for less than 12 hours."Within hours of verifying an account claiming to be Kendall Jenner, an internal review raised questions about the account's authenticity, and TikTok immediately removed it," a TikTok spokesperson told CNN Business. Business Insider was the first to report the news.
