Rumors of the television host’s alleged demise gained traction on Friday after a ‘R.I.P. Ana Patricia González’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Mexican television host’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (December 20, 2024), our beloved television host Ana Patricia González passed away. Ana Patricia González was born on July 26, 1987 in Navojoa. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major Mexican network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a television host of Ana Patricia González's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (72%) of respondents think those Ana Patricia González death rumors are not funny anymore.
