A Beth Chapman death hoax hit the internet over the weekend but the reality star is alive. Chapman was diagnosed with cancer for a second time last year and her condition is terminal. While it’s unclear how much longer Chapman has, a bogus report that she had died circulated online and caused some social media users to post their condolences, which only furthered the rumor.

According to Snopes, Chapman is not dead. Although she hasn’t posted anything to her Instagram account since April 14, she has been active on Twitter. Her latest tweet was on Saturday, April 20.

Chapman announced that she had been diagnosed with Stage II throat cancer back in September 2017. She underwent treatment that included surgery and seemed to be doing well up until the fall of last year.
