Recent rumors on Facebook alleging the death of actress Tia Mowry, best known for her role in Sister, Sister, have been proven false. A Facebook post from December 24, 2024, claimed the actress had passed away, sparking confusion and grief among fans. However, the post, along with its accompanying photos and links, has been confirmed as a hoax.
The post, shared by user ေဒၚေထြး က်င္ in the group “Maurice sam,” included an image of a supposed car crash, a photoshopped picture of Tia in a frame labeled “RIP,” and a scene of people mourning near a casket. It directed users to a dubious news website, Premuim News, which has a history of spreading fake stories.
Fans initially flooded the post’s comment section with condolences, but upon closer examination, it became evident that no legitimate news outlets corroborated the story. Furthermore, Tia Mowry herself remained active on social media, debunking the rumor through her consistent posts and Instagram updates within the past 24 hours.
A Pattern of Fake News
This is not the first time Tia Mowry has been the subject of death hoaxes. Similar false claims appeared earlier in 2024, including a YouTube video from “B&B TV SPOILERS” and another by “Celebrity Archive,” both falsely reporting her death. These baseless claims often exploit public figures to generate clicks and views.
Facebook user Mattie Purosky also stepped forward on December 7 to clarify that the rumors were untrue, highlighting the persistence of misinformation online.
Tia Mowry: Alive and Thriving
Despite the false claims, Tia Mowry continues to lead a vibrant life and career. The actress recently launched her reality TV show, Tia Mowry: My Next Act, offering fans a glimpse into her post-divorce journey. Since separating from her ex-husband Cory Hardrict in 2022 after a 14-year marriage, Tia has been candid about her personal growth, co-parenting, and dating experiences.
In her new series, Tia opened up about feeling distanced from her twin sister, Tamera, a revelation that resonated with viewers. She expressed a desire to reconnect but emphasized that their separation had occurred naturally over time.
Unfortunately, high-profile figures like Tia Mowry often face challenges such as misinformation and invasive rumors. Her recent death hoax serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying news through reliable sources before accepting it as truth.
For now, fans can rest assured: Tia Mowry is alive, thriving, and continuing to inspire with her talent and resilience.
