“Lark has never been diagnosed with lupus. It’s upsetting her that people are coming out about it,” a rep for the Saved by the Bell alum tells PEOPLE exclusively after several news sites picked up the fake Instagram post. “She doesn’t want to be perceived as someone faking an illness.”
On Thursday, a post on the fake Instagram account appeared, in which someone claiming to be the actress said she’d been battling lupus since 2007. The post claimed the actress had faced bullying because of what the disease had done to her appearance.
The rep says Voorhies does not have an Instagram account, “and somebody has hacked her Twitter account to the point she is shutting it down.”
“There are several unverified Instagram accounts that are not hers,” the rep says.
Hit the flip for “fake” Lark’s admission.
