I would question the legetimacy of that twitter account, but I still think a valid point is being made. I'm still not sold on Rebecca Mader playing Cruella, as many people believe she will be, both appearance wise (of course I'd have to see her in a black and white wig, before I'd make my final verdict) and plot wise (really? an overzealous fur diva is the next big bad? is the whole cast going to be protecting Pongo for 11 episodes?). Also, we must look at the name of the episode "Witch Hunt", unless they are taking very big liberties with Cruella's character, she has never been depected with any sort of magical abilities. Which to me points to two or maybe three characters: Morgan Le Fay from Arthurian legend (which has already been shown on the show), Wicked Which of the West from Oz (which has been alluded to on the show, as well as Adam and Eddy, saying it's a "when" not an "if"), or Jadus aka The White Witch from Narnia (which admittadly hasn't had any references that I've see). The only problem is that sites have claimed she is "an iconic Disney villianess with her own theme", which of course heavily implies Cruella. The only way I can see her being Cruella, is, if as someone suggested earlier in this thread, Cruella is also the Wicked Witch of the West (no wonder she hates Toto), who traditionally has no given name in her original work by L. Frank Baum. This seems like a Once thing to do, works in Oz and 101 Dalmations, and gives Cruella the means to carry a whole half season as the next big bad.
