Malgosia Bela death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Malgosia Bela’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Polish model’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (December 21, 2024), our beloved model Malgosia Bela passed away. Malgosia Bela was born on June 6, 1977 in Kraków. 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 47-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 Polish network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Malgosia Bela's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (92%) of respondents think those Malgosia Bela death rumors are not funny anymore.
