Betty White Dead: ‘The Golden Girls’ Star Becomes A Victim Of Death Hoax! Headline Fooled A Lot Of People! Jeff Witjas Says, ‘She Is On The Set Shooting Right Now’
People have been talking about the death of Robin Williams so it came as a shock when they heard that Betty White is dead! Losing one great actor after another is quite depressing so fans of "The Golden Girls" star were really devastated by the latest news.
The death rumors started to spread online when a satirical news site posted a false headline. Empire News wrote, "Actress Betty White, 92, Dyes Peacefully In Her Los Angeles Home." Upon reading that, some people panicked and started sharing the news on Twitter without realizing that the website used the word "dyes" and not "dies".
Nope, it isn't a typo. It's an actual news about the actress' real hair color. If you've read beyond the headlines, you will see that the Betty White dead rumors aren't true. Her manager Jeff Witjas revealed that the veteran actress isn't a natural blonde and that she prefers a quiet life.
Witjas said. "She likes to relax in her home with her animals, and she rarely likes to discuss the fact, at least in public, that she is actually a brunette." Her manager added, "She has been dying her own hair in her home for decades. Betty has often told me she feels it is relaxing and soothing to dye her own hair, peacefully in her home, where she can laugh and enjoy time with her animals. She's said on more than one occasion that as a blonde, she has had 'more fun' in her roles, and in life."
The headline fooled many people including radio talk show host Larry O'Connor. He wrote on Twitter, "The Betty White thing is a hoax. Sorry... I deleted it within 30 seconds. So pissed. Some things should not be hoaxed." Jeff Witjas tried to end all the Betty White dead rumors during an interview with The Los Angeles Times. He said, "She is on the set shooting Hot in Cleveland right now," Jeff Witjas told the paper.
That was a relief! What do you think of all the death hoaxes such as that of Betty White being dead?
