Actress Rosanna Arquette said Thursday the FBI advised her to make her Twitter account private after online critics lambasted her on Wednesday for tweeting that she was ashamed of being “white and privileged.”
Arquette, in an exclusive response to TheWrap, expanded on her comments and explained why she is now hiding tweets from anyone that is not among her 90,000 followers. “Yes I’m locked to protect myself. I was told by [the] FBI to lock it up,” she said, declining to respond to requests for more detail on the FBI’s role in her decision.
Representatives for the FBI did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
