“Sally Jessy Raphael’s Shocking Struggle: Talk Show Icon Claims Instagram Won’t Verify Her Account
Daytime TV legend Sally Jessy Raphael is facing a surprising challenge: getting verified on Instagram. The 89-year-old talk show host took to the social media platform to claim that despite providing proof of her identity, Instagram refuses to give her the coveted blue checkmark.
Raphael, who hosted her eponymous talk show from 1983 to 2002, is frustrated by the situation. She’s even pointing out a fake account impersonating her, which she claims is causing confusion among her fans.
The talk show icon has had a storied career, interviewing countless celebrities and paving the way for women in the industry. She’s also known for her signature red glasses, which she’s accumulated over 200 pairs of.
Despite having fewer than 650 followers on Instagram, Raphael’s fans are rallying around her, offering support and suggesting ways to get her verified.”
