'Glee' star Lea Michele has revealed she is not pregnant, after a post from her Twitter account read she is going to be a mother.
The 27-year-old actress first deleted the 'fake' tweet and told her fans she is not pregnant, reported Us magazine.
"Before this gets out to the media, I would like to announce to my fans that I am pregnant," the tweet read. It also bore a hashtag '#BabyBoy'.
A representative for Michele confirmed that her account had been hacked. Michele herself set the record straight on Twitter, first deleting the offending tweet and then joking about it in a follow-up message.
"I was hacked!" she wrote, adding, "Guess @chriscolfer and I should have known better than to make our passwords the names of our cats."
Chris Colfer's account had also been hacked by someone who wrote on his page, "Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of Glee," a tweet on his account read. "Explanations will come shortly..."
Colfer, 24, was actually on a flight when the tweet happened and only found out about it upon landing.
"Apparently I missed quite the interesting day while aboard my flight. I'm just glad I wasn't 'killed by a fruit truck' again," he wrote.
