The official Facebook account of American singer, songwriter, and actress Ariana Grande has been taken over by a hacker. Unlike in the case of other celebrities, her account wasn’t hijacked by spammers, but by a troll.

A screenshot of the hacked account made by her fans shows that the hacker posted the following message from Grande’s compromised account:

“Hello everyone. I have a confession to make. I'm struggling with an addiction to coke. I plan on going to rehab, and I'll be inactive for a while. I will be canceling my future tours and shows. Goodbye for now.”

The hacker also wrote, “btw Miley Cyrus needs to twerk her ugly [backside] off a cliff.”

The attacker also tried to convince the singer’s Facebook followers to donate for rehab with Bitcoins. It’s uncertain to whom the Bitcoin address he had published belongs.

After recovering her account, Ariana Grande posted the following statement on Facebook: “My page was hacked tonight. i am sorry to everyone who saw those posts. I have my page back now.”
