“They want to be credible but allow whatever.”

A second fumed, “Gmorn’n did anyone else wake up to Steve Harvey passed away news and it was a spam or virus link.”

“Nearly had a stroke when I got news that Steve Harvey passed away,” another said.

Harvey has not responded to the death rumors but has been active on X, sharing his usual motivational content with his 6.1 million followers.

The site has previously spread untrue reports of the deaths of other stars, including Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, and Dolly Parton.
