Stolen Hamster Allegation
On October 7th, 2019, Delphine claimed that she was arrested due to spray painting a car of her party guest who had allegedly stolen her hamster.[5] Photographs attached to the tweet showed a screenshot of the conversation between Delphine and an unknown individual and two images of a white car painted with an image of Clown Pepe holding a gun and a writing which read "Bitch! Give me my hamster back" (shown below). The tweet gained over 25,200 retweets and 123,200 likes in one day.
As of October 8th, 2019, no news outlets were able to confirm that Belle Delphine was arrested.[6][7][8] In the United Kingdom, police mugshots do not have watermarks and are not publicly released until the person is charged. On October 8th, Twitter user @JoshPescatore tweeted screenshots of presented as a direct message conversation with the official Metropolitan Police Twitter account, who claimed they did not recognize the watermark seen in Delphine's mugshot (shown below).
