Former The Cosby Show co-stars Keshia Knight Pulliam and Malcolm-Jamal Warner have once again captured public attention, but this time under distressing circumstances. Pulliam took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to Warner after false reports of his death began circulating online.
False Rumours Spark Emotional Response
The internet was briefly sent into a frenzy when unverified claims about Warner's passing emerged. Pulliam, who played Warner's on-screen little sister Rudy Huxtable, quickly addressed the rumours with a touching Instagram post featuring nostalgic behind-the-scenes photos from their time on the iconic sitcom.
A Bond That Transcends Time
"To my first TV husband... my big brother... my friend," Pulliam captioned the emotional post, showcasing their enduring friendship that began when she was just six years old on the set of The Cosby Show. The photos included never-before-seen snapshots of their younger years, highlighting their special connection both on and off camera.
Celebrity Death Hoaxes Continue to Plague Social Media
This incident marks another example of the disturbing trend of celebrity death hoaxes that regularly sweep across social platforms. Warner, now 53, joins a growing list of public figures who have had to contend with false reports about their demise.
The actor, known for his role as Theo Huxtable, has remained active in Hollywood with recent appearances in shows like Sneakerheads and This Is Us. His representatives have confirmed that the death rumours are completely unfounded.
Fans Rally Around the Stars
Social media users flooded the comments section of Pulliam's post with messages of relief and support. Many shared their own memories of watching the duo grow up on television, while others expressed outrage at the circulation of such harmful misinformation.
As the entertainment world breathes a sigh of relief, this incident serves as a reminder of both the enduring power of childhood bonds forged in Hollywood and the darker side of internet culture.
