Yesterday, The Bachelor world was shocked when they heard of the sudden passing of Josh Seiter, who competed on the 11th season of The Bachelorette. His death was announced on his verified Instagram page. And the press ran with it.
There is one problem with the story. He is NOT DEAD.
Today, he took to his page to declare he is alive and explained what happened. “Hey guys, as you can see, I am alive and well,” he said. “My account was hacked. For the last 24 hours, I’ve been trying desperately to get into it. Somebody was playing a cruel joke and mocking my mental illness and the struggles I’ve gone through with depression and suicide attempts, and I’m sorry for all the pain they’ve caused when they made that post. I just got back into my account. I am going to do all I can with my team to identify who was behind this. But again, I apologize for the confusion. And I will update you guys as more facts come in. Thank you, guys.”
This is the second fake death announcement made on Instagram. Almost three weeks ago, someone hacked Little Tay’s account and said that the viral star and her brother were dead. Thankfully, both of them are alive and well.
This, whatever it is, needs to stop because this is sick.
Earlier today, #RIPHarvey was trending on Twitter, and we didn’t know why. So people were worried that Steve Harvey was hosting Family Feud in Heaven.
No one was more shocked than Harvey himself. So he took to social media and said, “Me seeing that Rip Harvey is trending,” with a photo of him looking at his phone like what the fuck.
Families around the States are breathing a sigh of relief because they were there would be someone else making fun of them on the game show.
Howie Mandel’s daughter got in the viral prank business where kids tell the parents that their favorite celebrity has died. So she announced to her father that he is dead at 67, and he is as surprised as we are. That is because he is not dead. Either that or no one told him that he is.
On Tuesday night, #RIPJimmyFallon was trending on Twitter, even though he is very much alive. So, yesterday, Fallon started off The Tonight Show by having a gospel choir sing “He’s alive.” As he danced and sang, “I’m alive,” like he was in a revival tent.
So, if Elon Musk won’t do anything about it, this was the next best option.
Back to the host, who is very much alive, he addressed the situation later on in the show. This is not the first time it has happened to him, and you can tell he was upset about it. He was more upset for his loved ones who believed that he was really gone. And I can understand that. No one wants to be declared dead when they are not.
Melissa Gilbert had a scary wake-up call this morning. That is because she got a Google alert saying she had passed away.
The actress took to social media to let us know she is still alive. “’Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated,'” she wrote. “It would be funny if I didn’t have a husband, mom, sister, kids, grandkids, friends and a career….whomever is doing this, knock it off! #deathhoax”
Gilbert is not the only actress who is rumored to be dead from Little House on the Prairie. According to a post by Alison Arngrim, several other actors from the series, including Karen Grassle, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Melissa Francis were also rumored to have died.
Thankfully, all of the actors are alive and well. And will continue to remain that way.
BTW Killing off celebrities as a joke is not funny, so stop doing it.
