Mia Frye death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the dancer’s alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a ‘R.I.P. Mia Frye’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American dancer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (November 19, 2024), our beloved dancer Mia Frye passed away. Mia Frye was born on February 12, 1965 in New York. 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 59-year-old dancer 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 dancer of Mia Frye's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (94%) of respondents think those Mia Frye death rumors are not funny anymore.
Mia Frye Death Hoax Dismissed Since Dancer Is ‘Alive And Well’
On Wednesday (November 20) the dancer's reps officially confirmed that Mia Frye 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 dancer. Others say this shows her extreme popularity across the globe.
