Chaz Bono Blasts Tabloid’s Outrageous Claim That He’ll Soon Die

Truth rating: 0

Chaz Bono has “four years to live,” claims the National Enquirer.

Yes, having already shamefully misdiagnosed Cher, the tabloid just sentenced her son to death.

The Enquirer cites a “noted longevity expert” who believes Bono “will be dead by the end of 2015 if he continues on his current life arc.”

Dr. Patrick Wanis – the same man who’s predicted imminent deaths for Kirstie Alley, Dr. Phil and Whitney Houston – now shares his “expertise” on Bono, claiming the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant’s gender reassignment surgery “could eventually take a heavy toll.”

The Enquirer‘s doctor speculates about the effect of hormone treatments on the heart and liver, and then outrageously leaps to the conclusion that Bono’s “emotional trauma from gender confusion” could lead to suicide.

Wanis drops in allusions to Bono’s weight, his romantic history, his alleged tension with Cher, the risk of diabetes, prescription drug effects… basically, a laundry list of possible contributors to an early death.

His “grim prognosis” is that Bono “could be dead by age 46,” which Wanis calculated “using his sophisticated longevity guide, the Life and Death Calculator.”

Ah, the Life and Death Calculator.

The one that’s made Wanis look foolish and mean-spirited time after time after time.

In any case, Bono isn’t tolerating the magazine’s outrageous death prediction.

His legal team has sent the Enquirer a letter demanding that the tab print a retraction for the “blatantly false and defamatory” “smear campaign.”

Gossip Cop hopes the tabloid does the right thing.

    Somebody needs to get on these tabloids. What they said is purely ridiculous. I would sue if they don’t retract. It wouldn’t hurt for these tabloids to print something positive and get rid of all the negative that they always print. They are influencing this society in being negative. I wish all the people they write about, which is usually negative, would jump on them too. This society needs help not hindrances.

    This is true. God did not create the human body to be altered like this. Watch, wait and see. I maintain that there are consequences for making these choices. There isn’t enough evidence to support that what Chastity has done to herself, is safe. It’s funny. The FDA can regulate drugs by denying them in this country yet what we do to ourselves requires no approval for safety. We just do it. We’ll wonder, after the fact, why somebody didn’t stop Chastity from this behavior just like Amy Winehouse. We just stand by, smile and support them when truly they are dying. It’s really a sad story and one day Chastity will be on the bio channel just like her father Sonny on her life. Hate me but this is true. I longed to see what this woman would have become had she just got therapy in order to stop the torment of her wanting to be a man. There are consequences to our actions once we choose to do what we do. Unfortunately in some cases there is no turning back. The damage is done. I believe that Chastity IS dying. Steve Jobs fed us the same thing because he didn’t want anybody to know that he truly was dying of cancer. He denied tabloid accusations that he was in fact dying. Chastity is doing the same thing. God rest her soul.

    Chastity is morbidly obese. She smokes a pack and a half of cigarettes per day. She clearly has no will power. She is obviously self destructive. You dont need to be a doctor to see that she is very, very unhealthy. Diabetes, high blood pressure, COPD, heart disease, cardiovascular desease, flubitis, liver disease and urunary tract problems are just a few of the physical realities she will experience very soon.

  • Guest

    I completely agree with you. A body can’t be altered without creating any damage to it. I feel compassion for Chastity.

    Until you all walk in ones shoes, don’t criticize anyone. God loves us all.

    So far the doctor has been right about Whitney Houston — he must know what he’s talking about
