Paramount Pictures X Account Briefly Altered With Political Message, Then Restored

The episode unfolds during active media dealmaking, with no attribution or company comment.

Overview

  • Variety observed the account bio reading “Proud arm of the fascist regime” on Tuesday before it reverted.
  • The profile belongs to an account followed by nearly 3.5 million users, increasing the visibility of the change.
  • Shortly after the report published, the description returned to “The official X account for Paramount Pictures.”
  • Variety said it sought comment from the studio, but no statement was included in its report.
  • The timing followed a direct-to-shareholders hostile bid by Paramount Skydance for Warner Bros. Discovery and a separate Netflix–WBD agreement announced three days earlier.
