They never stop, do they? One of the many gossip sites running amok with fake news has claimed another life of another Kenyan celebrity.
The website out rightly claimed that the actress was taken in ill to a hospital in the US according to her so called friend Lisa Marie. The site further claims that Brenda was on the trip after an invitation from Apple Inc to discuss a possible ‘endorsement deal.’
To add insult to injury it stated that she died in the wee hours of the morning and her body was taken for an autopsy.
And just like that, the headline on the story read, ‘Breaking News: Kenyan actress cum model, Brenda Wairimu dies at 27.’ The shocking story is yet to be taken down with friends and fans of the actress asking her to take legal action against the gossip site.
‘’DEAD! #PunIntended.’’ She posted alongside a screen shot of the false story.
