An estate agent, named Andrew Bone, has reportedly been suspended from his job after a tweet from his social media account read: “N***** ruined it for us.”
However, Bone has since alleged that his profile was ‘hacked’ by an unknown third party.
In an interview with MailOnline, his stepfather, Robert Dutson, has insisted it was ‘not him’ that made the comment and he ‘is not racist’.
“He didn’t post the remark. His account has been hacked,” he said. “He has contacted the police about it. They are looking into it now.”
