Justin Bieber Kills 7-Year-Old? Is the Story True or Fake? [Poll]
News of the Biebs killing a seven-year old boy has went viral but Hoax-Slayer claims that the DUI accident never happened and that the entire story is a fraud.
According to Hoax-Slayer, a viral story circulating via Facebook claiming that JB hit a 7-year old child walking with another 12-year old is anything but true. According to the false story, the pop sensation has reportedly ended his career over the accident and driving under the influence.
"Justine Bieber did it again! this time his CAREER is over.. He accidentally killed a 7-Year-Old Boy that was walking to school with 12-Year-Old Sister..Police Investigate that bieber is positive in DUI," the hoax reads.
The false report also includes a fake video of the Biebs' alleged DUI accident. However, according to Liberty Voice, the video "is merely a fake button placed over a picture."
Once the fake video is clicked, the user is prompted to share the news within what seems to be a site copy of Facebook but one that is full of more news of the same nature, says Liberty Voice.
What's even more is that an app will start downloading once the fake news is clicked. A "message saying the company World Trending v.1.31 will receive information about one's public profile, email address and friend list" will also reportedly be displayed once the fake JB report is clicked notes Liberty Voice.
The 'Boyfriend' singer was recently arrested for DUI after drag racing in a Lamborghini, says NY Daily News. According to the report, breathalyzer and urine tests revealed that Bieber actually had marijuana, Xanax and some alcohol.
The singer and a friend were then whisked away and handcuffed for driving under the influence, says NY Daily News, without news of a child dying from being hit reported.
It looks like news of JB killing a 7-year old because of DUI and further ending his career is a hoax and one that is only geared at scamming fans. Is it really a hoax?
