LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hilarie Burton Morgan sought help from her followers to eliminate a fake social media account impersonating her son Gus.

Hilarie Burton Morgan says 'creep chick' stealing the identity of her 14-year-old son

Hilarie Burton Morgan discovered a TikTok account impersonating her and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's 14-year-old son Augustus "Gus" Morgan, prompting her to rally her fans for assistance.

Hilarie shared a screenshot of a TikTok account with the handle @AugustusDeanMorgan, alerting followers to the presence of a "creepy chick" behind the account and advising them to be on the lookout for online imposters.

"Hi gang. Need a little help. I don’t have TikTok and neither does our son. But there’s this creep chick who is obsessed with him and keeps creating profiles on various platforms," she began her post.

Hilarie continued, "I get it. He’s awesome. But she’s a freak for stealing the identity of a 14-year-old boy. We’ve reached out to her parents. To her directly."

She went on to describe the efforts she and Jeffrey have made to try to find a solution. "We’ve contacted law enforcement. Because of certain actions she’s taken, she’s broken laws. So please do me a favor if you have that platform. Report her," Hilarie added.

Hilarie—who also has a 6-year-old daughter named George Morgan with Jeffrey—provided an update later on Friday stating that the initial fraudulent account had been removed.

She said, "The TikTok account is taken down. But it linked to a YouTube account where she was also pretending to be Gus. Her name is clearly present on that YouTube account now."

"I see H*****. I called your campus police. I’ve reached out to your mother’s church. I’m not fucking around."

Hilarie did not provide details about the type of content the user posted or if any law enforcement action was taken. Both she and Jeffrey typically keep their family life private on social media, sharing only her recent appeal to fans and occasional celebrations online, per E! News.
