Her real name is Courtney. The pictures stolen for the Twitter account were posted to her Facebook when she was teenager almost 10 years ago.
Erica Marsh quickly rose to fame earlier this year as a viral left-wing voice on social media. Her incendiary tweets, often ultra-liberal and hyper-political, drew millions of views and the ire of conservatives, who pointed to her outlandish comments comparing Republicans to pedophiles and conservative Supreme Court justices to Nazis as examples of extreme liberalism run amok.
Marsh’s top tweet, viewed more than 27 million times, claimed that “No black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system,” after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in June.
The tweet generated a firestorm of controversy and drew attention beyond the account’s 130,000 followers, including a public reply from Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, who tweeted, “I strongly disagree with this racist allegation.”
Twitter, which has rebranded as X, suspended and eventually removed the Erica Marsh account following reports last month that it was a fake. But the face behind the account is real— and belongs to a Republican Trump voter from Florida.
The photo of a smiling young woman with blond hair that topped Erica Marsh’s Twitter account is actually a picture of Courtney Ballesteros, a 26-year-old wife and mother of two living in Ruskin, Florida, a rural town south of Tampa.
Ballesteros first heard about Erica Marsh in March, when her friends brought it to her attention. Ballesteros immediately recognized the pictures as ones she had taken of herself nearly a decade ago and had posted to her public Facebook page. As she read through many of Marsh’s inflammatory posts, Ballesteros, a registered Republican, was speechless.
“I could not believe what I saw,” she told CNN. “I knew it was nothing that I would ever say.”
“I was just shocked that my face was behind the words,” she added.
A few other Twitter accounts using Bellesteros’ face remain active but with far fewer followers.
