Chrissy Teigen death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a ‘R.I.P. Chrissy Teigen’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American model’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (November 19, 2024), our beloved model Chrissy Teigen passed away. Chrissy Teigen was born on November 30, 1985 in Delta. 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 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 American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Chrissy Teigen's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (92%) of respondents think those Chrissy Teigen death rumors are not funny anymore.
