Hours after deactivating his account, Michael Che returned to Instagram on Friday with a post asserting he’d been hacked “again,” which we *think* is probably a joke.

Che deactivated his account earlier in the day after he posted jokes at the expense of gymnast Simone Biles, including one about Larry Nassar, the doctor she accused of sexual abuse, which provoked a significant social media backlash.

Just before deleting his Instagram account, he posted a message saying “Man, I got hacked today, can’t believe they got me. Yall kno [sic] I only do jokes about whites and cops.
