Eminem's Daughter...NOT! Twitter Hoaxer Returns

Will the real Hailie Jade please stand up?

Eminem's daughter has featured largely in his music and it would have come as no surprise to see the spotlight turned on her as she approaches her mid teens.

So when a Twitter account, claiming to be authored by Marshall Mathers III's little girl Hailie Jade popped up, we checked it out.

Announcing her "return" to the micro-blogging website, @Angry_Blonde declares herself: "The REAL Hailie Mathers".

Except she's not. Ok, we fell for it.

A publicist for Eminem confirmed to The Huffington Post UK that the Twitter account was fake.

But @Angry_Blonde is unlike your standard Twitter troll. She retweets support for Eminem, talks of him as being "the best" and generally appears to interact pleasantly with her 17,000 followers.

And it's not the first time whoever it is has hogged the limelight.

Last year Eminem's publicist told E! News an account in the same name was a fake and that Hailie is not on Twitter at all.

In fact, E!'s editor grudgingly admitted: "Hats off to Angry_Blonde, the keeper of the most elaborate imposter account we've seen yet."

The profile was hastily deleted following last year's coverage, but it's back online and as positive as ever.

Whoever the hoaxer is, she seems remarkably well-adjusted (on the surface at the least). There's nothing controversial in her Tweets and by all accounts, Eminem is a great dad.

Which rather begs the question, why bother?!


The real Hailie Jade is frequently mentioned in her father's music

the account IS haile's. em's publicist and rosenberg are just saying that it isnit haile bc em wants haile to grow up normal. em's niece alaina scott mathers is on twitter, facebook, tumblr etc. She is 19 (born 13 may 93) so he cant stop her. Haile is almost 17 (25 dec 95) and in 1 yr she too will be legal. Em's youngest daughter whitney scott harter mathers is 10.

Maybe Eminem beats the snot out of his kid and is the worse dad ever so he signs up as a fake Hailie, mystery solved.

because the account is now worth $12,881.... not bad going for a fake account.

I actually looked at this account and it's rather... beautiful? It's mostly retweeting fans who say wonderful things about the songs he wrote about Hailie and people reassuring her that her dad is awesome and that she shouldn't worry about haters. It's actually very loving. It kind of made me wish the real Hailie will end up reading some of it.

I would never think that a hardcore rapper would procreate an attractive girl like her.

I would. Eminem is hot. So let me get this straight- you are saying that what profession (or professions) that a child's parent (or parents) is in has an affect on what their physical appearance will be? That is absofrigginlutely amazing. A miracle!! Whatever happened to good old genes and DNA?

Good God... the headline should be 'Huffpost confirms again that they don't understand the internets'

We must accept the fact, that in the Twittersphere there are going to be: a) tribute accounts (Acceptable, as Hailie 2.0) b) parodies (funny but OK) C) T̶r̶o̶l̶l̶s̶ (nasty evil bad)

A or B is fine, C = NO...This phenomena happens in the music industry also, so why not twitter?
