Apart from a number of whispers about Angelina Jolie's private life---that she was going to adopt another child, was ready for divorce, and was jealous of her husband's ex-wife---there was one rumor that was killer news: that she died.
So the 41-year-old celebrity died only for last month, and she died only in media circles. It isn't the first time she got killed and resurrected, anyway. Now she is in the league of celebrities like Jaden Smith, Sylvester Stallone and Rowan Atkinson who got killed just like her.
What is the source of the vicious rumors about her many lives? Just like Sylvester Stallone's killing, there is a Facebook link that "claims to be from CNN" and explains that she killed herself, after bidding goodbye to her husband and fans.
However, when you click that fake link, you go to another page that just asks for your personal information--just like what happened to Sylvester Stallone.
This death hoax originates from a death hoax generator site, according to Snopes. Once it asks for a big name, it then creates a death hoax. "A salacious Facebook post, typically claiming that someone famous has passed away, is used to lure users into giving a scammy app permission to view and/or post to their Facebook page. This ensures that the scam circulates on social media and allows the site to scrape users' personal information," explains Snopes.
Those who do not believe that she is not dead just need to watch her. She was last spotted with her daughter Shiloh, buying a teddy bear for $40. She had stopped her car when she saw twin boys holding up a sign to advertise it. She just picked up one and then got out to mingle with the boys and their family.
The teddy bear was huge, and Angelina gave not just $40 but $50 dollars to each boy. The twins, her bodyguard and a bystander helped her to shove the bear into the car's trunk. Her parting words were as kind and real as she is: "You guys are so cool. It's so nice to meet you," and she made introductions: "This is Shiloh and I'm Angie. Nice to meet you."
So the Angelina Jolie fans can look forward to her next Netflix movie, 'First They Killed My Father', which she is geared up to write, produce, and direct.
And it is definitely not her ghost that is doing it, in case you are still in doubt.
