Leah Messer death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the artist’s alleged demise gained traction on Wednesday after a ‘R.I.P. Leah Messer’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American artist’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday (June 11, 2025), our beloved artist Leah Messer passed away. Leah Messer was born on April 24, 1992 in Elkview. 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 33-year-old artist 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 an artist of Leah Messer's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that 88% still think false Leah Messer death rumors are funny.
