Tita Cervera death hoax spreads on Facebook
Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Monday after a ‘R.I.P. Tita Cervera’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Spanish model’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Monday (December 23, 2024), our beloved model Tita Cervera passed away. Tita Cervera was born on April 23, 1943 in Barcelona. 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 81-year-old model and business woman 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 Spanish network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Tita Cervera's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (68%) of respondents think those Tita Cervera death rumors are not funny anymore.
