Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012KeKe Palmer is a young movie and TV actress best known for her starring role in “Akeelah and the Bee.” Today, Twitter hooligans started a vicious rumor that she had died by hatching an #ripkekepalmer hashtag. We traced the rumor to fans of Justin Bieber, who didn’t like a couple of light-hearted tweets Palmer had published earlier in the day:
Wait wait wait! My girl just showed me @justinbieber 'Boyfriend' video teaser though.. JB getting sexy with it!—

Hahahahahahaha! That teaser had me like, 😏RT @erinpepper: @KekePalmer @justinbieber girl I been havin that cougar Bieber fever lol—

Keke Palmer isn't dead. She tweeted something flirtatious about JB & the Beliebers found out & killed her via twitter, hence #RIPKekePalmer—

That is crossing the line with Beliebers trending that Keke Palmer is dead. They are honestly one of the worst fandoms ever.—

I'm disappointed in some Beliebers who started the rumor that Keke Palmer was dead. That's really childish. You make this fanbase look bad.—

Palmer is alive, kicking, and telling some hard truths about the consequences of sophomoric social media mobs:
That's okay because God will always hold me in his arms and I will continue to walk in his grace.—

This Twitter death bullsh*t is getting real out if hand, when it hurts my family??????—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
Don't disrespect me or my family! I pray for you all and your negative energy. You do not mess with death.—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
No GURL you calm down. No one said you were dead.RT @TheGomezShuffle: @KekePalmer gurl calm down.. Trends like this happens almost everyday.—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
Think before you tweet!! You alarm people's families and friend's. I'm beyond disappointed.—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
I just can't believe twitter 'deaths' have ppl calling me to make sure it isn't true. Thats a shame what ppl do with social media.—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
Anybody telling me to calm down needs to calm it down real quick honey because you've obviously forgotten the seriousness of death.—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
But I guess because I'm a celebrity it's okay for ppl to wish death upon me right?—
Keke Palmer (@KekePalmer) April 07, 2012
There's something wrong when people think that's okay.—

The Beliebers are shifting blame…to the OneDirectioners, of course:
A Directioner started the #RIPKeKePalmer trend to blame it all on Beliebers because Keke tweeted about Justin. smh—
