AUTHOR and former model Sonia Booth has warned her followers of a fake Tiktok account using her name.

Several celebritie­s in the past have taken to their official social media accounts to warn their followers of fake accounts impersonat­ing them.

One might not see an issue with these accounts, but since they are mostly being used for criminal activities, there is an increased need for them to be reported on social media.

Booth posted an image of the fake Tiktok account using her name and in her caption shared that she had reported the account, warning her followers that it was not her account.

This month, Booth’s name has been trending on social media following her lifting the lid on the infidelity in her marriage. The Miss South Africa 2001 second runner-up turned her Instagram and Twitter account into an open diary, with her posts detailing former soccer star Matthew Booth’s infidelity and exposing the other woman.

In her posts, she explained why she chose to shame her husband publicly and not deal with the matter privately.

Her husband released a statement addressing the “unfounded allegation­s” and lambasting his wife for shaming him on a public platform.
