For several weeks, subscribers to Jean-Claude Van Damme’s X account have witnessed a real series of disturbing events. Improbable tweets, dubious revelations and accusations: a look back at a hack orchestrated by former employees of the Belgian star.
On January 19, an unexpected message appeared on the official account of Jean-Claude Van Damme on X: “I’m really sorry for lying to you all these years, it was Alain Moussi who did the splits, not me, because I haven’t been able to do it for years”. This tweet, accompanied by a video of the famous advertisement in which the actor performs his legendary splits between two trucks, is surprising.
But that was just the beginning of a series of strange posts. Among the messages, one claimed that the actor would not pay his employees, would prefer to squander his money on a certain Alena and would be responsible for his “bad films” : “I’m not hacked. I just don’t pay my employees. I love giving all my money to Alena. Only to Alena. I don’t love my kids. I don’t work out. I don’t eat. I don’t sleep. This is how I make bad films one after the other. I don’t know why I do this?“
-A hack signed… by ex-employees
Very quickly, fans realized that something was wrong. Jean-Claude Van Damme confirmed on Instagram that his X and YouTube accounts had been hacked by former employees, calling them “cyber hostage takers.” The latter did not hesitate to pose as the actor, multiplying provocative publications.
Back to normal… and official denial
Fortunately, the story ended well. On January 21, JCVD announced that he had regained possession of his X account. In a reassuring tweet, he wrote: “This is the real Jean-Claude Van Damme. I would like to thank all my fans who supported me in restoring my X account. Also, nothing that was tweeted here was true”.
