Rumors of the television host’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Flavie Flament’ 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 Wednesday (November 20, 2024), our beloved television host Flavie Flament passed away. Flavie Flament was born on July 2, 1974 in Valognes. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (92%) of respondents think those Flavie Flament death rumors are not funny anymore.
