"The unsubstantiated claim states that the 28-year-old actor donated $1,000,000 to "advocacy groups". This latest rumour comes just weeks after conspiracy theorists claimed she is secretly transgender. It began with a post on Wednesday (28 January) that outlined the fake news, which subsequently went viral. At the time of writing, the post has over 95,400 likes. However, the account's bio reads: "This page features satire and parody stories that are exaggerated, developing fictional - created for entertainment purposes only.""
"The post details: "The actress was widely praised for the seven-figure donation, which supporters called one of the most meaningful celebrity contributions in recent memory. "Advocacy groups applauded the move, saying the money could significantly boost healthcare, education, and outreach programs. "During a discussion tied to the donation, Sweeney allegedly said she hoped "they find a cure"." In the comments, one user noted: "It's sad how many people think this is true." Another wrote: "Obviously this isn't real.""
A viral Instagram post falsely claimed 28-year-old Sydney Sweeney donated $1,000,000 to 'advocacy groups' to 'find a cure' for being queer, and the post gained over 95,400 likes. The account's bio labels the content as satire and parody. The fabricated claim prompted mixed reactions in comments, including disbelief, belief, and a significant volume of anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech and violent threats that were reported to Meta. Similar targeted false posts have affected other celebrities such as Millie Bobby Brown. Sweeney has also faced separate controversy related to remarks in a Cosmopolitan interview.
