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 American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a fashion designer of Bethany Mota's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (57%) of respondents think those Bethany Mota death rumors are not funny anymore.
