Sam Smith banned dating apps after the catfish mess

Sam Smith revealed they were kicked out of online dating after the app didn’t believe their account was real.

The “Wicked” singer, who describes herself as non-binary and uses the pronoun “they/them,” said in a new interview that Tinder and Hinge deleted their accounts out of fear of being impersonated.

“I’ve never played Grindr,” said Smith, 30, Say “Eastern Canada” on Monday. “I used to be on Tinder; I think I got kicked out of Tinder. I got kicked out of Hinge because they didn’t think I was me.

However, the Grammy winner admitted they “didn’t verify” their profiles.

“I should,” they said.

However, Smith added that despite their busy music careers, they “always been able to date.”

If the “Stay With Me” creators could get back into the online dating pool, he’d share that their profiles would be dedicated to their love for their dog Velma.

“She taught me to love,” they say of the dog. “I really don’t feel like I’ve ever loved anybody but family and friends and stuff. … She really taught me.

“By the way, I miss her weight; I haven’t seen her in years.

Every relationship is different. Both people are different. I think it’s just learning your own language together.”
