A number of now deleted tweets from Fawaz’s account included statements like: “The only thing George wanted is to DIE,” and “He tried [a number] of time[s] to kill himself many times… and finally he managed…”
The celebrity hairstylist insists he did not post those remarks: “I am shocked with what’s going on with the Twitter thing. My Twitter account has been hacked and closed,” he said in a statement to The Mirror. “It’s a bit scary to be honest. I did not send those tweets. I woke up at 11.30 a.m. to the news. I am not going to worry about these things.”
