This is most certainly not, what those dreams Lizzie McGuire was singing about, are made of.
Hillary Duff was accused of child trafficking in a truly bizarre Twitter thread. Celebrities are always susceptible to some pretty insane conspiracy theories, especially when you slip up on your social media channels. Hillary Duff had to experience this first-hand recently as she accidentally posted a photo of her son to her IG story. The photo made it seem as though her child was nude and when she realized, she deleted the post.
While one would assume this was the end of the story, it got a lot weirder as the a short amount of time progressed. A twitter user started a thread in which they accused Duff of child trafficking and used the photo of her son as the proof. This thread eventually got Duff trending on Twitter and eventually, the thread was taken down before any more damage could be done.
Hillary Duff trend is great example of "news" in the era of social media.
1. Duff posts Insta story of photos she's printed. 1 may be a nude of her son. Maybe wearing tan shorts.
2. Twitter trends with it, people start calling her a sex trafficker.

However, in this day and age we all know how people love to run with a ball. The scandal is unfortunately more so fun to run with than what actually took place. Fans were immediately confused by the tweets and many spoke out about fake news on Twitter and how misinformation can spread exceptionally fast. Every part of the thread was pure conjecture and was filled to the brim with conspiracies that you would find on some random YouTube video with less than 100 views.
Duff has responded to the allegations via Twitter chocking it up to bordem, writing: “Everyone bored af right now I know..but this is actually disgusting….. whoever dreamed this one up and put this garbage into the universe should take a break from their damn phone. Maybe get a hobby.” Take a look at some of the chaotic reactions below. Thoughts?

People are accusing Hilary Duff of being a paedophile and sex trafficker because she has a naked photo of her own son. You are disgusting to even sexualise a kid and assume something so vile. It is ridiculous how anyone can even believe this, stop trying to ruin her life.
