Kelly Brook death hoax spreads on Facebook

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

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (November 19, 2024), our beloved model Kelly Brook passed away. Kelly Brook was born on November 23, 1979 in Rochester. 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 44-year-old model, actress and television host 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 English network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Kelly Brook's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 79% still think false Kelly Brook death rumors are funny.

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.
