LONDON: English film producer and screenwriter Jemima Goldsmith has taken to social media to address a misconception, clarifying that the TikTok account under the username “Jemima Khan” is not her authentic presence on the popular video-sharing platform. TikTok has gained immense popularity in recent times, making the need for clarifications paramount in maintaining online integrity.
Jemima Goldsmith, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, made her announcement on X (formerly known as Twitter), informing her followers that the TikTok account with the handle “@jemimakhanofficial” is a fake account and not her official presence on the platform. The filmmaker expressed her stance clearly, stating, “This is a fake account on TikTok – I am not on TikTok.”

The account’s activity includes the sharing of 483 videos from various public events associated with Jemima.
