Big Bang Theory showrunner Bill Prady has blasted those who create fake Twitter accounts claiming to be TV show characters.



In a succession of tweets, Prady complained about people who pretend to be the CBS sitcom's characters Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco).

"S/o asked me this morning how I felt about people tweeting as our characters. I must say I find it disrespectful of our work and creations," he wrote.

"Problem is, people don't know it isn't us tweeting as the characters, and the fake accounts often have the chars say stuff we don't like.

"I would have no problem if the accounts identified themselves as unauthorized and not written by us.

"It's people deceiving fans by allowing them to think the content is created by us that I find disrespectful."
