Something grave has come to light, Lee Lin Chin – Prime Chinister – has taken to her (and Chris Leben‘s) Twitter to announce someone, somewhere is posing as the eternal empress herself, with the Instagram handle @leelinchinofficial. The disrespect.

Taking things very seriously, Chin announced the news in both a status and a video – the former quite frankly asking her loyal followers to report @leelinchinofficial as a fake account to the Instagram lords.
See below.
There’s a fake @instagram account posing as me called ‘leelinchinofficial’. I would like to take control of it. Apparently the best way is to have my followers report it as fake to Instagram. Could you please do me that favour?

If it is of interest to you, @leelinchinofficial has almost 30,000 followers. Already, angry comments are appearing on the account.
Chin, former SBS head on World News and current phenomenal legend, informed her followers of the criminal poser in the video with the words:
“Hello, I’m Lee Lin Chin. I’d like to takeover the Instagram account @leelinchinofficial because someone is posing as me. It’s not my account and I’d like it transferred or cancelled. Thank you very much.”
You bloody tell ’em Prime Chinister.
Watch the video below.
Dear @instagram, can I please take control of the account ‘leelinchinofficial’. It is not run by me and I don’t like it. Surely this is enough proof. pic.twitter.com/g2AxyKr0ja

So yes, as it turns out – this account is not Chin which one may have gathered from the lack of blue tick, otherwise known as the holy verification tick.
Whoever you are @officialleelinchin, GIVE IT UP.
Since resigning from the SBS news desk after more than 30 years on the team, Chin may or may not have dabbled in some politics with Aus Greens leader Richard Di Natale. Cast your minds back to the time #AusPol was being shittier than usual – right when Malcolm Turnbull copped the stabby stab – and you might just remember how everyone was rather confused about the Wentworth seat… naturally, Chin put her name in the bag.
The beloved icon has also dabbled in a bit of promotional work – becoming one of the many faces of Uber Eats and Transport NSW.
So, just imagine the endless possibilities if Chin got behind an ~ official ~ Instagram account.
It’d be like this but MORE:

Anyway, whoever you are @officialleelinchin, shit’s about to go down.
