Fans were left worried after the account began sharing content that was tainted with sexual content, racism, suicidal thoughts and more.
Fans of “Stranger Things” star Noah Schnapp were confused and worried over the weekend as his Twitter account began to share various disturbing and concerning tweets, including thoughts about suicide, as well as uncharacteristic sexual and racist content.
Most of these tweets have since been deleted, with the 15-year-old star taking to his Instagram Stories to see what happened.

The first tweet to raise suspicions came at 6:27 ET, per Variation, with the message, “Suicidal thoughts.” While it was understandably worrying, fans soon realized something was wrong as it was followed by more disturbing and varied content.
Some retweets and tags in the hacked content could indicate which accounts were involved in the hacking.
While most inflammatory tweets have been removed, including sexual content and use of the n-word, issues have yet to reappear.
Schnapp has not yet shared an additional update and two of the hacked retweets remain active on Schnapp’s Twitter feed, indicating that he has yet to gain full control of his account.

Fans were soon suspicious when his feed began retweeting stories from other posts of him smoking marijuana and getting into fights, per Deadline, along with even more enchanting content throughout the day.
Not only was it uncharacteristic of the young star, Schnapp has never been a frequently used social media, outside of his growth Tik Tok celebrity.
Before the attack on Saturday, his Twitter feed had been quiet for a month, with his last tweet coming July 16th.
