Alicia Aylies death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Alicia Aylies’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the French model’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (December 21, 2024), our beloved model Alicia Aylies passed away. Alicia Aylies was born on April 21, 1998 in Fort-de-France. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 26-year-old model was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major French network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Alicia Aylies' stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (62%) of respondents think those Alicia Aylies death rumors are not funny anymore.
