As previously reported, this incident was first reported by X user Tom Coates last week, who showed Oscar host Ellen Degeneres uploading a selfie from the event, but the photo was missing from her account.
"By the way, in 2014 Ellen Degeneres posted a selfie from Oscar and became the most retweeted photo of all time. The photo is now missing from Twitter," said Tom Coates.
