Ayem Nour death hoax spreads on Facebook

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

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (November 22, 2024), our beloved television host Ayem Nour passed away. Ayem Nour was born on November 24, 1988 in Lyon. 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 36-year-old television host 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 television host of Ayem Nour's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 55% still think false Ayem Nour death rumors are funny.
