Banned social media influencer Paul Zimmer is apparently trying to come back on Social Media platforms by attempting to fool users by pretending to be a young actor called Troy Becker. Zimmer claims that Becker is his doppelganger and that is why they look so alike to each other.
Trying to assume another identity
Pail Zimmer was very famous on platforms like Instagram, YouTube and musical.ly, a precursor to TikTok and after being extremely popular for a few years Zimmer was accused financially exploiting his followers when they made special requests of him but Zimmer never fulfilled those requests.
Due to this, the hashtag #BanPaulZimmer was trending on all platforms and this caused him to disappear from social media altogether. On December 18 through a post that was uploaded on Zimmer's account, it was explained that all of Zimmer's accounts were handed over to 16-17-year-old Troy Becker.
