Hollywood actress Kimberly Elise is NOT Dead!

Recently, I found an article that revealed the recent confusion about Kimberly Elise being dead. This has seemed to become a very popular topic as of late. What makes this finding more ridiculous and disturbing is that current fans and non-fans also believe that she died from HIV/AIDS. It is one of the most absurd rumors about an actress that I have found recently. That is right, this is a false RUMOR. However, people are speculating and posting information on the internet that is incorrect and could not be further from the truth.

Apparently, fans believe that the actress Kimberly Elise is dead because of an episode of Girlfriends that she appeared in. What a stupid speculation that shows how one false piece of information (much like the Duane Martin Divorce drama) spreads like wildfire when people don’t try to find the facts and just believe anything that they read. Let’s get the facts straight now. First of all, Girlfriends is a fictional TV show that airs on the CW network. Kimberly Elise played the role of Toni (Jill Marie Jones) and Joan’s (Tracey Ellis Ross) high school friend who was infected with full blown AIDS from her husband.

The key word here is “Fictional”. A script was written, a character was produced and Kimberly Elise played the part. Now, popular online blogger Paula Neal Mooney’s article on this matter suggests that there is also some information circulating among TV viewers and fans that suggests this Girlfriends episode was based on a real-life woman who died from AIDS. I do not know much about that and really have no interest in doing further research on a person that one TV episode was based upon. The most important fact that everyone who has concerns and confusion about Kimberly Elise being dead needs to realize is that television is fake, for the most part.

What really makes me disappointed in TV viewers and many of the people spreading this information is that this particular Girlfriends episode was soooo last season. I have seen the episode when it aired and then again, probably 5 times already. Old episodes from the Girlfriends TV show is in heavy rotation. It is ridiculous that people are taking a rerun and making it current. The fact that television viewers and movie fans cannot separate real life from fiction concerns me and should also be of huge concern to every man and woman who cares about the kind of information that is being put out into the world.

If we are to believe everything that airs on TV, I guess Keifer Sutherland really was held hostage by the Chinese, Shemar Moore was molested when he was a child and Alana De La Garza really does have cancer. Then again, that would be stupid since she is on Law & Order with a new hairstyle. Come on people, think for a change!!! Kimberly Elise is not dead. In fact, she has two movies in post-production (For all of those that lack knowledge of certain film terms, it means that they are in their finishing stages,) and has been on Close to Home for over a dozen episodes. I guess none of you liars and confused TV viewers searching for “Kimberly Elise Dead” and “Kimberly Elise Death” would know that since you have been busy watching reruns of Girlfriends.

Here is a tip, turn to CBS once in a while. Do not be surprised to find Kimberly Elise alive and well. Then again, I wouldn’t recommend watching Cold Case on CBS for those who actually did believe that the Hollywood actress was dead from HIV/AIDS. For the ones that are still living in fictional TV land, just wake up and smell the coffee. As a matter of fact, stop watching TV and start reading a newspaper. There, you can find obituaries and more information related to what is actually happening in real life.

As always, if you are reading this post, you are welcome to leave your comments below. However, keep all of the lies and false information about Kimberly Elise at bay, because she is NOT dead and she does NOT have HIV/AIDS.

Every since they covered up the assassination of president Kennedy , on live TV and used operant conditioning to curb everyone's thoughts. I have been in the fictional modence!
