Late Tuesday morning, Seiter returned to IG with a brand new selfie video. In it, he confirmed that he’s very a lot not useless. He additionally claimed his account was “hacked for the last 24 hours”:
“Hey guys, as you can see, I am alive and well. My account was hacked for the last 24 hours, and I had been trying desperately to get into it. Somebody was playing a cruel joke and mocking my mental illness and the struggles I’ve gone through with depression and suicide attempts. I am sorry for the pain they caused when they made that post.”
Then, Seiter — who appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s season of The Bachelorette — apologized for “the confusion” surrounding the obvious hacking and demise hoax, explaining:
“I just got back into my account. I am going to try to do all I can with my team to try to identify who is behind this, but again, I apologize for all the confusion, and I will update you guys as more facts come in. Thank you, guys.”
Whoa…
You can see proof of Josh being very a lot alive (under):
WTF??
Hacked?? And death-hoaxed?! If this sounds acquainted to readers, it ought to. This is EXACTLY what occurred to younger viral rapper Lil Tay a pair weeks again. We obtained a tragic announcement of her passing at simply 14 years outdated on her personal IG feed. Then only a day later she got here ahead to show she was alive. It turned out her account had been hacked as nicely. Many puzzled if she or her brother have been the wrongdoer, utilizing the prank as a means of getting her title again within the highlight. That doesn’t make any sense on the subject of Josh, proper?
Now we’ve to marvel — is that this a brand new “thing”? Someone thinks they’re humorous by doing this to individuals? Hacking their accounts for extra convincing demise hoaxes?? Who would assume this type of factor is humorous? Ick.
Well, we’re blissful Josh is alive and nicely! Can’t complain about that information!
