Cher Is Victim of Death Hoax

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

Cher is the victim of a death hoax.

A rumor that the pop cultural icon had died spread like wildfire on Twitter overnight Thursday and into Friday morning, apparently tied to a sick joke that got out of hand.

“RIP Cher” became a trending topic, only further fueling speculation.

It is 100% false.

Cher is alive and well.

A similarly sick, untrue rumor “killed” Rihanna earlier this month.

Of course, nasty pranks about celebrities “dying” have become more and more common in the age of Twitter and other social media.

Gossip Cop fails to see the humor.

    She also made up a fake CNN Live account, and not long ago posted RIP Rhianna

    LorraineStar and ObeseSchool girl are crazy and clearly dont have anything better to do with their time than pronouncing people dead on twitter. When i saw Lorraine Retweet a “CNN” account i thought it was legit.

    I see that you still have no grasp of the English language. Honestly, son, please quit embarrassing yourself. It takes an eon (that’s a LONG time) to decipher your comments. A waste of space, both your comments and spelling. Change your screen name to 2can’t, much more appropriate.
    That being said it seems as though anyone can make up a death hoax. It’s the stupid followers that actually believe and spread the rumors. Quite frankly, Who the frick cares!!!!

    Why don’t people use the time they waste on posting lies about celebrities deaths (pretty sick if you ask me!!) and go do something nice for a neighbor or their community.
