Conspiracy theorists claim Epstein files prove Ellen DeGeneres is the "most prolific cannibal" - LGBTQ Nation

"The networks and social media were awash in accusations ahead of his entrance to the House of Representatives that Pam Bondi's Justice Department redacted mentions of accusations against Trump involving a 14-year-girl. The grim look on Trump's face and his family in the gallery - and the panicked smile plastered on Bondi's face throughout the endless address - was all the mention required."

"It remains to be seen how those explosive investigatory interviews and the Department of Justice's (DOJ) handling of the material will play out in the media ecosystem in the days and weeks ahead. But the media's portrayal connects to a larger problem of misinformation generally on the internet, and the damage it does to the president may extend beyond whether the underage molestation accusations are true."

"Conspiracy theorists are now claiming that the Epstein files prove Ellen DeGeneres is a "most prolific cannibal." That's a quote from one post that's helped set the internet on fire in the latest Epstein/QAnon/Pizzagate conspiracy theory, with the former talk queen at the center."

Following the release of Epstein files, misinformation spread rapidly across social media and networks. During Trump's State of the Union address, controversy emerged regarding the Justice Department's handling of accusations, with networks reporting redactions of mentions involving Trump and a minor. The incident highlighted broader problems with misinformation on the internet and its potential damage beyond factual accuracy. Conspiracy theorists exploited the Epstein files release to fabricate false claims, including absurd accusations that Ellen DeGeneres is a cannibal, connecting her departure from the United States to these fabricated narratives. These conspiracy theories represent a continuation of QAnon and Pizzagate-style misinformation that spreads rapidly through social media platforms.
