TikTok account impersonating and profiting off my autistic friend that blew up recently.

Hey everyone, i’m unaware if you guys have seen the recent video thats been blowing up about this autistic kid being “Naruto Uzumaki”, hes gained over 8 million likes over the past week of people posting about him.

Well , unfortunately, he has gained absolutely nothing at all from the video blowing up, considering it is entirely him. An account has been faking being him for YEARS. The fake account has profited and gained half a million followers.

i’m not here to send anyone followers or start a witch hunt. i’m just wondering if there’s actually a way to report something like this that gets it reviewed properly, or if there’s anything the person being impersonated can do besides submitting the normal report, i tried already and it did absolutely nothing for me.

Is there anything i can do about the fake account? TikTok support hasn’t done anything and it’s pretty obvious he’s in the creator program profiting off him and it genuinely makes me upset that such a kind soul has had his spotlight taken from him.

has anyone gone through something similar or know what the best course of action is? I just want the best for my friend.

I’m just trying to get the attention of someone, if anyone, that can assist with this situation, as far as i know from speaking with him, he works and has worked a minimum wage job at a grocery store for years and he just loves spreading positivity. If theres anyone out there that can assist me or my friend please let me know.
