The 'Burlesque' star was the victim of a Twitter death hoax.
First
Rihanna and
Bon Jovi, now
Cher.
The "Turn Back Time" hitmaker is the latest victim of a dreadful death hoax.
The rumor that the multitalented artist had dyed started spreading on Twitter due to the appearance of a trending topic under the name "RIP Cher".
Kim Kardashian was one of the many
shocked by the rumor: "Did I just hear Cher passed away? Is this real? OMG".
Millionaire Matchmaker
Patti Stanger replied to Kim's tweet: "Is this for real? I don't see it anywhere. Can't be"
Thankfully, it isn't real.
Cher is alive and well.
Jewelry designer
Loree Rodkin set the record straight:
"Whoever started that stupid rumor needs to have their face dragged across concrete.. #cher is fine", Loree
tweeted five hours ago. The designer also replied to a series of tweets from people who were worried that the rumor is true.
It's awful that some people come up with these rumors. Someone's life is not something you can play with!
Were you one of the people who actually believed the false story of Cher's death? Do you think people who start such rumors should be punished in some way?
