How is this for an isolation conspiracy theory?
Channel Seven reporter Tom Browne has dismissed his link to a Twitter account named ‘Jimmy Jones’ that was created this month and has been constantly praising and defending him against social media trolls.
Speaking on Triple M Radio, Browne addressed the speculation and he said he only learnt about the account on Sunday night.
“Absolutely not true ‘Darce’ (Luke Darcy),” he said on Triple M.
“I only knew about this account on Sunday night, so all the detractors on social media that bag me they’re now criticising an account that I know nothing about suggesting that it’s me and I don’t know anything about the account.”
Questioned whether one of his friends of colleagues may have created the account, Browne said he was none the wiser.
“Absolutely no one I know to the best of my knowledge unless my Mum’s got some secret fascination for Twitter Darce,” he said.
“But no, it’s not.
“I’ve got no idea who this is, I think they’re stitching me up. Perhaps a colleague or someone out there creating lots of buzz among all the journalists, ‘Geez, someone’s sticking up for Tom Browne’. I’ve got no idea what’s going on, I’ll just keep trying to do my job and break some stories.”
