“We are aware of the justified concern of some of our African viewers regarding what purportedly shows inappropriate content on Cartoon Network. We can confirm without hesitation that these images are not authentic and have never been broadcasted or shared on any official cartoon Network platforms in Africa in any capacity. The fake images on social media were not produced by Cartoon Network and are in no way representative of our goal to provide suitable, age-appropriate entertainment for African children and families.”
