Stranger Things star Joe Keery grabs a juice with girlfriend Maika Monroe in first outing since his Twitter was hacked
His Twitter account was targeted by a racist hacker last week.
And Stranger Things star Joe Keery appeared for the first time since the ‘deeply upsetting’ incident as he stepped out in Santa Monica on Monday.
The actor, 27, was joined by his girlfriend Maika Monroe, 26, and his adorable Australian Shepherd puppy Tina as he grabbed a refreshing juice.

Wearing a dark polo shirt with green Nike shorts, the TV star drank a green juice as he enjoyed the California weather.
Joe also wore his hair slicked back like his character in the Netflix hit and brought a pair of shades for the rare outing.
Maika, an actress and professional kiteboarder, kept casual for the outing in a baggy T-shirt, shorts and shades.
The couple have been dating since 2017, but are fairly private about their relationship online.

It comes after Joe was targeted by a hacker with his popular Twitter account flooded with racist and otherwise insensitive comments.
Posting an apology last Monday, he said: ‘Hey everyone, I was hacked as I’m sure everyone knows. What a bummer that someone would go to such great lengths to spread hate.’
‘I want to apologize for the horrible comments that were posted, it was deeply upsetting to me. Much love to you all in these crazy times,’ concluded the actor.

Unfortunate: Joe was targeted by a hacker last week, with his popular Twitter account flooded with racist and otherwise insensitive comments
The worst of the comments featured the N-word and claimed Keery was ‘molested’ on the set of Stranger Things.
One post specifically aimed racist comments towards Joe’s co-star Caleb McLaughlin, and even tagged his official account.
Another claimed an attack on co-star Gaten Matarazzo ‘knocked his teeth out’, a false claim given the young actor suffers from cleidocranial dysplasia, a bone condition that affects the growth of his teeth.
A rep for Twitter told Page Six, ‘As soon as we were made aware of the issue, we locked the compromised account and investigated the situation.’
