Montana Meiland is struck by rather insane fake news about her health situation. There are also serious people who approach her about it in her store, she says. “Intense sadness.”
She is by far the least discussed member of the Meiland family: the oldest daughter Montana. Yet for her it feels like she is at the center of attention, because there are rather bizarre fake news about her on the Socials. “Montana is really flooded with very annoying messages,” says Dyantha Brooks Shownieuws.
Heartbreaking
Show expert Bart Ettekoven agrees. “Yes, a message goes on Facebook and other socials that have been viewed by people and likes thousands of times.”
The message: “The Meiland family is again struck by intense sorrow. After Erica Meiland’s earlier battle against cervical cancer, now comes the heartbreaking news that daughter Montana has also received the same diagnosis. The young woman, visibly emotional, could not control her tears:” I want to become a mother so much … “”
Get well
Fake news, Bart emphasizes. “The point is that she would have a life -threatening disease. She would be terribly ill, so people also began to send her some kind of messages and say,” Get well soon. “
Dyantha: “It was really suggested that she would have cervical cancer, yes.”
Bart: “Not so long ago about our colleague Patty was such a message. He was also sick and then my mother called:” Gosh, what has Patty? ” I said, “Well, I don’t think anything, because I just had her on the line.”
Click
Many people fall for it according to Bart. “People believe that. It is somewhere and people click on it. Everyone is shocked. We spoke to Montana for a moment and she says:” I don’t want to pay much attention to it anymore. I am doing very well, “but of course it is very annoying.”
He continues: “Even in the store in Noordwijk, people talk to her about that. She is very healthy and very happy.”
Phishing
His colleague Eline de Ruig does not understand it at all. “But it’s a form of phishing? So if you click on that … or isn’t that?”
Dyantha on that: “No, I think it’s just really spreading fake news.”
Perhaps the earnings model is that there are banners around that fake news, Bart concludes.
The Montana news was mentioned during an item about the rape case around Maxime Meiland. That case never seems to stop, but, Maxime says: “Yes, well, it’s annoying, but it will be fine.
