Famous TV host and singer Billy Crawford showed a strong emotion after the false news that he had passed away spread. This news caused confusion and concern among his fans and close friends, so Billy couldn’t hold back and took to social media directly.

In a live video on his Instagram account, Billy bluntly refuted the false information spread by some irresponsible social media accounts. Billy said angrily, “I don’t understand why some people can make this kind of news. Spreading misinformation is no joke, especially since I have families affected. I am very much alive and I don’t know what these people’s motives are.”

Many netizens were surprised when the news that the famous personality passed away suddenly came out. Because of the false information, some of Billy’s friends and acquaintances tried to contact him to find out the truth. According to Billy, his family, especially his wife, Coleen Garcia, and their daughter, Amari, were very worried because of the spread of the news. “It hurts to see my family worried like this. Just imagine the reaction of my wife and my son because of the lie,” added Billy.

Because of this incident, Billy did not hesitate to consult his legal team to file a case against those who spread fake news. “This is the last time I will let this kind of lie pass me by. I will file a case against the people responsible for spreading this fake news. This is not acceptable,” he said.

According to his lawyer, those behind the false news could be charged with cyber libel, and they could be held liable by law for spreading baseless and defamatory information. “This is not a matter of course,” said Billy’s legal counsel. “Spreading fake news carries liability under the law. We will make sure that justice is achieved for Billy.”

Meanwhile, support poured in from Billy’s fans and friends in the showbiz industry. Many celebrities expressed their support through social media, including Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, and Vhong Navarro. According to Vice Ganda, “That news is terrible. Billy, we’re here for you. You don’t deserve this kind of lie.”

Despite the tension, Billy said he will continue to be positive and not let it affect his work and personal life. “I still want to do a lot in life and I won’t let this kind of news stop me,” said Billy. “As a public figure, I know that being the center of intrigue is part of my life, but everything has its limits. That’s why we have laws to protect everyone’s rights.”

Many netizens showed support for Billy’s plan to file a case against those who spread false information. Many believe this is an important step to curb the spread of fake news on social media. On Twitter, the hashtag #JusticeForBilly quickly trended after his statement. According to a netizen, “It’s only right that he sues those who make fake news. People should learn to be responsible for what they post.”

Several media and legal experts have given their opinion on this incident. According to Atty. Marissa Bautista, an expert in cybercrime law, “Spreading false news is a serious case, especially if it is intended to harm people or cause confusion. There are many recorded cases of cyber libel in the country, and I hope this will serve as a warning to everyone to be careful with what they publish online.”

Despite everything, Billy remains strong and thanks everyone who has extended their support. “Thank you to those who love and support. You don’t know how much your messages help me and my family to lighten my heart,” Billy concluded in his live video.

For now, the public continues to await the next steps of Billy and his legal team. It’s a reminder that responsible use of social media is important to prevent the spread of misinformation that can ruin the lives of others.
