An article claiming Oprah Winfrey was drugged and assaulted by Bill Cosby is fake.
The article appeared in a satirical news website fooling many an internet goer and garnering tens of thousands of shares as of Friday.
Here’s the disclaimer for the site at the bottom of the page: “This website is a daily satirical news source. Meaning complete fiction.” It also says here: “This website is completely fictional and is based off of current events in urban culture and entertainment. This is satire and parody.” h/t theepochtimes
The article read in part:
“He’s funny, but not that funny. Thats when I knew the drugs kicked in, because I was laughing a little too much” Said Oprah Winfrey about her run in with comedian Bill Cosby.
