The Young And The Restless News: Kristoff St. John’s Instagram Scandal

We’ve got some shocking news for Kristoff St. John fans. The Young and the Restless star has revealed that he is the victim of a shocking online scam. While there’s no doubt that a lot of people deal with these sorts of things on a daily basis, it’s surprising to see someone so high profile like Kristoff as a victim, too!

Kristoff has dealt with quite a few personal blows in the last few years. His son, Julian St. John, passed away a few years ago. Since then, Kristoff has had a hard time trying to put his life back together. He’s been dealing with his own depression while trying to come to terms with his son’s death. And now it looks like online scammers are giving him yet another reason to stress about.

Apparently, someone is identifying themselves as Kristoff on Instagram and – believe it or not – is asking for donations for his son. How disgraceful!

Kristoff has taken matters into his own hands by telling is social media fans, “WARNING: This Fake IG account @kristoff_john_official is asking followers for MONEY. The person who created the page is posing as ME and ASKING FOR DONATIONS FOR MY SON WHO PASSED, JULIAN ST JOHN!!!”

He added, “This is a SCAM. Disgraceful. This is abominable!!! Please report ASAP. Also, is there a way to let the followers on that page know? Help migrate them here? Thanks so much.”
