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

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (March 29, 2025), our beloved actress Jemima Rooper passed away. Jemima Rooper was born on October 24, 1981 in London. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

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 English network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actress of Jemima Rooper's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (86%) of respondents think those Jemima Rooper death rumors are not funny anymore.
