‘American Pickers’ star addresses report that she is dead
Spend some time on social media, and you might see posts claiming ‘American Pickers’ star Danielle Colby has died.
One such post from an account with a verified account with a blue check mark, begins with “HUGE TRAGEDY” before going on to say that “with heavy heart, we announce the passing. RIP (Danielle Colby).”
Just one problem with all of that: Colby isn’t dead.
How do we know?
Because she reposted that post on Elon Musk’s X platform and wrote, “I’m pretty sure I’m not (expletive) dead.”
Great news for “Pickers” fans. Even better news for Colby. Also, just another example of the rampant misinformation that flows freely on X.
“Have you heard the good news??” one person responded. “She has Risen.”
“Source?” another wrote.
