Hilarie Burton Morgan recently took to social media to seek help from her followers in getting a fake social media account posing as her 14-year-old son, Gus, taken down. The former “One Tree Hill” star shared a screenshot of the account on her Instagram, explaining the disturbing situation to her fans. She revealed that someone had been creating profiles on various platforms, pretending to be her son, and urged her followers to report the impersonator.
In an update posted later, Burton Morgan shared that the fake TikTok account had been taken down, but it was linked to a YouTube account where the impersonation continued. She expressed her frustration and determination to take action against the individual responsible for stealing her son’s identity. Followers showed their support for Burton Morgan and Gus, condemning the impersonation as disturbing and unacceptable.
Burton Morgan shares Gus with her husband, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, with whom she also has a daughter named George. The couple met in 2009 through mutual friend Jensen Ackles and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in October 2019. The wedding was attended by family and friends, including Hilarie’s “One Tree Hill” costars Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz, with Jensen officiating the ceremony.
The actress shared the joy of finally becoming husband and wife after a decade of dating, describing the wedding as private, magical, and everything she had dreamed of. She emphasized the bond they had built over the years, creating a family, a farm, and finding their community together.
The incident involving the fake social media account serves as a reminder of the dangers of online impersonation and the importance of safeguarding personal information. Burton Morgan’s proactive approach in addressing the situation highlights the need for vigilance and action against such deceptive practices on social media platforms.
