Morrissey's legal team has reportedly taken action against a meme maker, MozPosting, demanding the removal of a satirical Instagram post. The post, which mimicked Morrissey's official website, listed the singer's supposed enemies in a humorous and absurd manner. MozPosting, who created the account for satirical purposes, expressed disappointment and a desire to avoid unnecessary issues. This incident comes amidst Morrissey's ongoing legal battles with online impersonators and his recent album release, 'Make-Up Is a Lie'. The singer's team has been proactive in addressing these impersonators, including one connected to a former band member of The Smiths. As Morrissey gears up for a European tour and a US summer tour, the takedown request highlights the challenges of managing online satire and the potential impact on an artist's public image.
