Social media influencer Cherelle Murphy has launched a fierce defence against accusations that she ruined a close friend's wedding, branding the claims as completely 'false' and 'hurtful'.
The online personality took to Instagram to address the swirling rumours directly, sharing an emotional statement with her followers to clear her name.
The Allegations & The Emotional Rebuttal
Murphy expressed her devastation at the reports, stating she was 'so upset to have to address this' but felt compelled to set the record straight. She firmly denied any wrongdoing, emphasising that the accusations were '100% not true'.
'I would never do anything to disrupt someone's big day, especially not one of my closest friends,' she asserted, highlighting the strength of their relationship.
A Show of Unity and Support
In a powerful show of solidarity, the bride herself intervened to support Murphy. The influencer revealed that her friend was so angered by the false narrative that she personally commented on the original gossip post to defend Murphy's character.
This act seemingly confirms the influencer's account that there is no bad blood between the two and the wedding was not, in fact, 'ruined'.
The Impact of Online Gossip
The incident highlights the intense scrutiny and rapid spread of misinformation that public figures face. Murphy's decision to confront the claims head-on reflects a growing trend among influencers to tackle gossip directly rather than let it fester unchecked online.
Her heartfelt post serves as a reminder of the very real human impact that viral rumours can have, even on those who live much of their lives in the public eye.
