“This just gets weirder and weirder”: George Santos Hannah Montana claim erupts as Anthony Devolder Wikipedia goes viral

Newly-elected Congressman George Santos reportedly had a Wikipedia page under the name Anthony Devolder, an alias the politician has repeatedly used on social media.

The now-deleted page accessed by Politico claimed that Devolder allegedly appeared on popular Disney shows like Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

It also mentioned that Devolder started performing as a drag queen at the age of 17 and won several LGBTQ+ beauty pageants. The revelation came after Santos denied performing as a drag queen despite online reports from former friends and past photos and videos.

As new reports about Santos’ alleged old Wikipedia page came to light, netizens said that the situation surrounding the Republican was getting “weirder” by the day:

George Santos has continued to make news for the numerous embellishments in his CV.

He has also been asked to resign from his position after he admitted to lying about his educational background, professional records, financial assets, and his Jewish heritage, among others.

A look into George Santos’ old Wikipedia page controversy

A Wikipedia page obtained by Politico under the name Anthony Devolder, an alias used by Rep.-elect George Santos, reportedly contained similar information to that of the latter’s personal life.

It showed that Devolder, like Santos, was born on July 22, 1988, to a Brazilian family with a European background. The Wikipedia bio was last edited on April 29, 2011, and has since been removed.

The page riddled with spelling errors showed that Devolder was discovered by a Hollywood producer who produced “Independents Day by Steven Spilberg.” In reality, Roland Emmerich directed the 1996 film Independence Day.

It also showed that Devolder’s first role was in a 2009 film called The Invasion starring Uma Thurman and Alicia Silverstone. A Hollywood movie titled The Invasion was released in 2007 and had Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig in lead roles.

The page further claimed that Devolder appeared in Hannah Montana, misspelled as “Hanna Montana” as well as The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. The Wiki bio also revealed that Devolder began his “stage life” as a drag queen.

He allegedly performed drag at a LGTBQ+ night club at the age of 17 and won many LGTBQ+ beauty pageants. The information came to light after MSNBC reporter Marisa Kabas posted a photo and alleged that the person in the image was Santos dressed as a drag queen back in 2008.

Kabas also claimed that she spoke with a Brazilian drag queen who was allegedly friends with Santos when he lived near Rio de Janeiro and performed under the stage name Kitara Revache.

The New York Post also translated a Portuguese video and claimed that Santos was allegedly seen discussing performing in drag in the clip. The video was also posted online by the Daily Mail.

Santos later said that reports and videos claiming he performed as a drag queen are “outrageous” and “categorically false.”

According to Politico, a Wikipedia user named Devmaster88 edited George Santos’ public Wikipedia page in November and changed the section about his personal life. The user also edited his middle name.

At the same time, another user named georgedevolder22 also allegedly edited Santos’ public Wikipedia page and entirely removed his middle name, Anthony Devolder, to shorten his official name in his current Wiki biography.
