Dolly Parton has legions of fans around the world and she wanted to make sure they heard the important news.
Reports have been circulating online that the 77-year-old superstar endorses Keto oils and CBD gummies that promise to prevent dementia. The ads feature realistic-looking reports and photos of Dolly claiming to have appeared on television to publicly endorse the products. Snopes fact-checked these claims and published an article about it, calling the “allegations” against Dolly “false,” “spammy,” and “completely fictitious.”
Dolly herself spoke out about the claims and shared the message with her fans on Instagram. She also included a bit of her signature humor in the statement.
Dolly’s message reads: “Dolly Parton is not affiliated with, has not endorsed, and is not affiliated with any keto or CBD-containing gummies. It is more of a cookie, cookie and cornbread type. – Dolly’s Team
Fans flooded Dolly’s comments section with supportive messages such as, “Who’s after our queen 
?”, “This is the most dramatic drama Dolly has ever been involved in 
” and “I don’t know what’s going on but I’ll throw up my hands.” Gwen Stefani chimed in: “I love you, Gx”
Dolly is not the first star to have to deal with these types of false claims. According to Snopes, Blake Shelton, Reba McIntire, Tom Selleck, Ree Drummond and Keanu Reeves have experienced similar false reports.
Consider this as another reminder to be careful what you read on the internet! And if in doubt, listen to Dolly.
