Media mogul Oprah Winfrey was a trending topic on Tuesday night, as a conspiracy theory stemming from QAnon went viral, but Winfrey herself debunked it.
Numerous bogus reports claimed that Winfrey’s home in Boca Raton, Florida was raided and that she was under arrest on sex trafficking charges.
After being a top trending topic for several hours, the 66-year-old Winfrey was informed that she was trending, and made it clear the rumors were not true.
Just got a phone call that my name is trending. And being trolled for some awful FAKE thing. It’s NOT TRUE,’ Winfrey began.
‘Haven’t been raided, or arrested. Just sanitizing and self distancing with the rest of the world. Stay safe everybody,’ she concluded from her verified Twitter account.
Among the fake reports swirling about Winfrey is that her home in Boca Raton, Florida was seized and excavated to reveal underground tunnels she supposedly used for sex trafficking, which is not true.
There were also reports of raids on her home, and that she was just one of many celebrities arrested, including Tom Hanks, whose Coronavirus infection was supposedly a ‘cover’ for his arrest.
The next supposed celebrity arrests for ‘pedophilia’ are Celine Dion, Madonna, Charley Barkley and Kevin Spacey who will all claim to have the Coronavirus.
The claims get even more salacious, with Harvey Weinstein supposedly getting a lighter sentence for providing testimonies against Hollywood heavyweights like Quentin Tarantino, John Travolta, Steven Spielberg, Charlie Sheen and politicians such as Bill Clinton and Joe Biden.
