Muppet History, once a positive force in the fandom, has faced backlash after allegations surfaced regarding unwanted sexual messages sent by co-runner Joshua Gillespie.
The statement made by the account's management alluded to "overstepped" boundaries and "harm" caused without detailing the specific allegations, leaving fans in shock.
With half a million Instagram followers and a reputation as an ambassador of Jim Henson's characters, the drama highlights how quickly perceptions can change within a community.
The Muppets fandom is described as relatively small and insular, which magnifies the impact of this controversy, affecting not just fans but public figures as well.
