Overtime Megan's Leaked Photos Prompted Her to Take a Break From Social Media

The Gist:

• Overtime Megan left fans worried after she deleted her social media accounts in April 2023.
• Apparently, Overtime Megan, whose real name is Megan Eugenio, was hacked and private photos of her were leaked.
• The influencer is back active on social media, and has been getting into all sorts of things, including a trip to the ER.

It's not often that you see a popular TikTok influencer completely vanish overnight, but that's exactly what happened with Overtime Megan. In April 2023, we learned that Megan deleted almost all of her social media accounts, leading some to wonder exactly what happened to her that prompted such a drastic response.

Unfortunately, the details of Megan's story are an important reminder about the dangers of becoming famous on the internet, and the cost that being an influencer can extract. Here's what we know about Megan Eugenio and what she's been up to since reemerging on the internet.

According to a popular video posted at the end of April, Megan decided to delete or make private all of her social media accounts at the end of the month after she was hacked. As TikTok user Noah Carter explained, Megan's private photos had been leaked as part of the hack, and the circulation of that private media around the internet is what ultimately prompted Megan to step back from the internet altogether.

Fortunately for fans, Megan is back active on social media. A quick scroll through her TikTok content reveals Megan is quite busy these days, from interviewing Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson to watching Drake perform live in concert. At the beginning of October 2023, the influencer also landed in the ER during a night out in Toronto after she drank from a broken glass. "[I] legit drank glass," Megan shared with her followers. Thankfully, doctors said she would be OK.

Megan previously announced that, due to the hacking, she would be making her Twitter private, deleting her TikTok, and quitting social media more generally. Prior to leaving the platform in April, Megan had 2.5 million followers on TikTok.

As of January 2024, Megan has 2.7 million followers on TikTok and over 598,000 followers on Instagram. Looks like her disappearance and reemergence on the internet has helped grow her following.

After learning more about what happened to Megan, plenty of users on TikTok offered unreserved sympathy for what she went through.

"That's actually so messed up I would be devastated," one person wrote on TikTok.

"She's so nice and sweet I feel bad," another added.

Of course, there were also plenty of people eager to find the leaked content, much of which is apparently explicit.

Some users also pointed out that, as these comments suggest, additional coverage of the problem on TikTok only adds fuel to the fire and makes more people curious about exactly what the leaks are.

Several hours after the leaks occurred, Megan came forward on TikTok informing fans that she was the victim of a hack. But, with the help of friends, family, fans, and her local police department, Megan was able to keep her head held high as she dealt with the dilemma.
