How to Differentiate an Authentic Social Media Celebrity Profile from a Fake Knowing which celebrity profiles on social media are real or not can be challenging. While a lot of celebrities use Facebook, Twitter or any other social media channel to link up with family and friends and fans, there are still many celebrity profiles out there which are totally fake. Fortunately, these websites have now devised a unique system that helps you spot a real celebrity profile from a fake. Verification Process A celebrity profile will likely have so many likes or hearts or stars, but those are not guarantees of an authentic account. Instead, see if the account bears some type of verification icon used in the site (for Facebook, this is a blue circle with a white check mark inside of it). This way, you don’t have to guess. You will probably find this icon beside the main photo or anywhere inconspicuous. It should also appear on any page on the website that connects back to the profile, such as in search results within the site.

Because smaller and newer celebrity profiles often don’t get a verification icon, the next best way to know if a profile is real or not is to review the About page. Usually, celebrities will list down information about their work, academic accomplishments, awards, or even messages to fans. If it’s a personal profile, you may also see a note that says the page can only be viewed by family and friends (often with a link to a fan page). You can also find clues by looking at the links added to the About page. Typically, celebrities will only add links to verified social network profiles as well as official websites. The Posts Like other people, celebrities also enjoy talking about their relatives, friends, interests, etc.., so look out for personal photos and videos – at least, if the profile is authentic. If you’re uncertain, you can also double-check by reading news articles on that specific celebrity. Also, since celebrities have to be cautious with their online posts, a real profile will probably have very few, if any, grammar or spelling errors. Furthermore, unless a celebrity has a reputation for using nasty language, posts will not likely include nasty opinions. Offsite Methods If you’re having a hard time finding real celebrity profiles on social networks, or you want to confirm if a certain celebrity has a profile, try to find clues outside. In most cases, celebrities’ social network profiles as well as fan pages are also linked to their official pages. If celebrities have representation, their agents will sometimes put their profile links on their bio pages. Finally, if this is unsuccessful, you can always ask fan sites for help.
