Rumors of the actress’s alleged demise gained traction on Friday after a ‘R.I.P. Charlotte Le Bon’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the actress’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (December 20, 2024), our beloved actress Charlotte Le Bon passed away. Charlotte Le Bon was born on September 4, 1986 in Montreal. 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 38-year-old actress, model and 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 network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actress of Charlotte Le Bon's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 54% still think false Charlotte Le Bon death rumors are funny.
