Gabourey Sidibe is currently not on Twitter
Gabourey Sidibe has warned fans about an Internet prankster who is posing as the actress on Twitter.
The Precious star is not a particularly big fan of social networking and she hasn't yet made the move to Twitter but Sidibe reveals a random user has already created a profile in her name and regularly sends out messages to her fan base.
During an appearance on U.S. chat show The Talk on Thursday, she said: "Isn't that crazy? I'm not on Twitter, I'm like a loser, I'm still doing Myspace...
"It's so strange (because) she's really positive because she thinks I'm positive but I'm not; I'm a hateful person. She's like, 'I love you guys,' and she's like, 'Good morning luvvies,' I guess to, like, my followers, which is strange. She's really uplifting and nice."
But Sidibe admits she has really warmed to the impostor: "At first my mom and I were mad at her, like, 'How dare you pretend to be like me?' And then my mom was like, 'Wait, people like her, she's lovely, I'm going to follow (her).'"
