Brandi Love’s Twitter Back in Her Hands After Dreadful Hack

Company Returns Account to Her, Long Term Damage Uncertain

VENICE, CA – It wasn’t easy, but Brandi Love is back on Twitter.

On January 9, 2018 Brandi’s Twitter account was hacked. The hacker(s) deleted followers, created false posts and havoc in her life. Hers is one of the industry’s more popular and controversial Twitter accounts and having her half-million followers manipulated by unknown persons was extremely stressful for the porn legend.

“I made a decision a long time ago to be vulnerable with the fans. To be open, honest and accessible,” Brandi said. “I spend considerable time conversing with my followers on topics ranging from politics to sports to alternative relationships. We obviously talk about sexuality but my timeline is – or was pretty unique! This is what I love about the Twitter & Instagram platforms – they have allowed me to truly interact with my followers.

“When people take advantage of that which is most vulnerable – steal it – and then use it for nefarious means it hurts on a deeply emotional level. I feel emotionally and psychologically violated.”
After much effort, she managed to regain control of her account on Thursday. She still has 450,000 followers and most of the damage appears to have been temporary, though it’s impossible to be certain due to the sensitive information that had been available to the hackers.

Her Instagram account (@LoveTroopers) remains hacked as of this announcement.

“From a business standpoint it’s equally damaging,” she said. “I have often written about my affinity for Twitter and the tremendous business opportunities that have come to life because of my interactions there. Trapped within my DM’s at the hacked account were numerous contracts, interviews, business opportunities and business contact information. This hack disrupted at least $20,000 worth of business in January/February, eliminated 50% of my Social Media Marketing (SMM) Plan and consumed over 40 man hours and counting.”
