Julia Montes death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the actress’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Julia Montes’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Filipino actress’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (November 03, 2024), our beloved actress Julia Montes passed away. Julia Montes was born on March 19, 1995 in Quezon City. 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 29-year-old actress and 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 Filipino network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actress of Julia Montes' stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 90% still think false Julia Montes death rumors are funny.
