Estelle Lefébure death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Friday after a ‘R.I.P. Estelle Lefébure’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the French model’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (November 22, 2024), our beloved model Estelle Lefébure passed away. Estelle Lefébure was born on May 11, 1966 in Rouen. 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 58-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 French network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Estelle Lefébure's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (82%) of respondents think those Estelle Lefébure death rumors are not funny anymore.
