After that initial message, the stylist posted a video explaining the situation and reassuring her fans that she had written the previous story. She also confirmed that her account is okay now.

“Okay, so that was really me on the last story that I posted. I know I had it up and then I took it down, but I took it down just to make sure the hacker was really out. He’s really out now," Loreal Sarkisian added.

"I’m really sorry about anyone who got some random message. I don’t really even know everything because they were messaging people, deleting it and then I would just get what would seem like random messages back,” she said.

After the scare, Loreal Sarkisian wanted to show that she was alright and show her face so that people would know she was speaking. After her account was recovered, she can now send messages safely. Sarkisian has over 136,000 followers on Instagram.

Loreal - nicknamed The First Lady of Texas Football - and Steve Sarkisian married in 2020 and have been together for four years. They’ve had their ups and downs and jointly filed for divorce last July. (Note: At the time of writing, the couple has officially not divorced.)
