Jerry Hall death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Jerry Hall’ 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 Wednesday (November 13, 2024), our beloved model Jerry Hall passed away. Jerry Hall was born on July 2, 1956 in Gonzales. 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 68-year-old model and actress 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 Jerry Hall's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (74%) of respondents think those Jerry Hall death rumors are not funny anymore.
Jerry Hall Death Hoax Dismissed Since Model Is ‘Alive And Well’
On Thursday (November 14) the model's reps officially confirmed that Jerry Hall is not dead. “She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.
Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved model. Others say this shows her extreme popularity across the globe.
