Can’t help himself! Matthew Koma has earned a reputation as a troll over the years, getting laughs at the expense of other celebrities.
The songwriter — who has been married to Hilary Duff since 2019 — revealed in April 2023 that his jokester ways had led to a permanent ban from Twitter.
“Goodbye Twitter: The troll was worth it,” he wrote via his Instagram Story at the time alongside a screenshot of the message he received from the social media platform explaining that his account had been “permanently suspended.”
The lifetime ban came after Koma changed the name on his Twitter profile to “Gwyneth Paltrow” amid the 50-year-old Goop founder’s March 2023 ski crash trial. The musician also replaced his profile photo with a shot of the Shakespeare In Love actress. Although his handle was still @MatthewKoma, the page appeared at first glance to belong to Paltrow, violating Twitter’s policy that users cannot pose as another person.
“Thank you for all the kind messages today. Closure’s hard,” Koma quipped about his suspension via his Instagram Story. “But it’s a community like you guys that keeps me positive and looking forward to the next time I find the opportunity to impersonate a celebrity on a social media platform. Big thanks @gwenythpaltrow [sic] for the inspiration.”
The record producer previously took aim at Candace Cameron Bure after she shared a TikTok video of herself dressed head to toe in red, white and blue with Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” playing in the background. In August 2022, Koma stitched the clip — which was originally posted one month prior — and poked fun at the Full House alum’s music choice.
“Yeah that, the song you’re playing? Yeah. It’s about veterans coming home from Vietnam and being treated like s—t,” he said. “Yeah, it’s not about the 4th of July.” He captioned the video, “The more you know.”
Duff, for her part — who shares daughters Banks and Mae, born in 2018 and 2021, respectively, with Koma — has joked about being the victim of her husband’s wisecracks.
“I was told it’s national spouse day. You tease and give me hell Matthew and I love you so much. My own personal troll. Keep me please,” she captioned a January 2023 Instagram photo of herself with the Grammy winner. Koma is also stepdad of the Lizzie McGuire alum’s son Luca, born in 2012, whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie.
