On the afternoon of January 16, Twitter user Santiago Segura, who has over 3.2 million followers, was the absolute center of attention in Spain after posting multiple tweets in which he insulted and attacked other users.

When the comedian Ane Lindane confronted her about this, they got into an angry exchange, but in the end, she admitted to him that someone had hacked her account.

Predicted Segura messages include one in which he or she responds to an inquiry about the tweeter’s opinion on the blocking of Javier Ortega-Smith, leader of Vox, with the following: “I believe he has blocked you as a result of the insult you made to him.

Which one do you think makes more sense, Mamarracha? “another inflammatory letter shortly thereafter that targeted Podemos’s backers: “You cannot afford to give up the rabble’s habits. You must think it’s strange that a podemita rises before the sun. For the sake of your daughters, someone must toil.”

The director wasted no time in assuring everyone that he wasn’t the one behind the inflammatory tweets and Facebook posts, and that he had already taken action to clean up the mess “Of course I didn’t write that, and as soon as I saw it, I erased it. I’ve also gone ahead and updated my account’s password. That’s just bonkers “, pronounced judgment on the Carabanchel resident.

The hero of the famous Torrente adventure later claimed that a computer hacker would have had full reign to post whatever they wanted to the social network from his hijacked cell phone. Some Twitter users were not persuaded by Segura’s explanation that “someone with a very foul attitude” was responsible for the offensive tweets, so he removed them.

All afternoon long, social media was awash with theories, speculation, and facts concerning the supposed hacking of his cellphone.

What the director probably did not anticipate was the reappearance of more provocative messages a few hours later, this time on themes as divisive as vaccines, government management, and a strange assertion that “Santiago Segura does not speak the truth.” Something that prompted him to go dark until he figured out how to fix it.
