Rumors of the model’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Victoria Silvstedt’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Swedish model’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (November 03, 2024), our beloved model Victoria Silvstedt passed away. Victoria Silvstedt was born on September 19, 1974 in Skelleftehamn. 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 50-year-old model, actress, singer 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 Swedish network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a model of Victoria Silvstedt's stature would be major news across networks.
A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (91%) of respondents think those Victoria Silvstedt death rumors are not funny anymore.
