The social media platform has since implemented a new system of verification for different kinds of accounts.
In addition to blue check marks, Twitter CEO Elon Musk previously said there would be gold badges for businesses and grey badges for government.
'Variety' reports that Twitter briefly awarded @DisneyJuniorUK a gold verification badge on April 24.
The page also boasted the message: "This account is verified because it's an official business on Twitter.".
However, @DisneyJuniorUK is not an official business, but rather a parody account that has posted racial slurs.
The owner of the account tweeted their surprise at being verified.

This isnโt actually real right.
Someone f****** pinch me or something, @DisneyJuniorUK, via Twitter .
