Steve Harvey
Is Steve Harvey alive? Learn all there is to know about “RIP Harvey” trending on Twitter recently.
Steve Harvey was the subject of another death hoax that started circulating via Twitter. After the Emmy Award winner confirmed he is still alive, social media users appeared to think it was Harvey Weinstein who might have died.
On July 18, 2023, RIP Harvey became a trending topic on Twitter. Originally, the hashtag was about Kentucky radio station KSR. KSR had a regular caller named Harvey Doyle and his death was announced on the abovementioned date. “It was posted on his page today that the great KSR caller Harvey has passed away,” said station host Matt Jones.
“We will obviously talk more about it tomorrow but it is terrible news that makes me very sad.” As the radio station’s listeners mourned the locally recognized caller with the hashtag “RIP Harvey” other Twitter users became confused. The platform’s users thought RIP Harvey was trending in reference to Steve Harvey. Some thought the hashtag was about Harvey Weinstein or TMZ’s Harvey Levin.
One user tweeted: “why the f**k is RIP Harvey trending, you know Steve Harvey ain’t dead.” A second netizen commented: “The RIP Harvey trending topic is bulls**t. I almost had a f**king heart attack.” “Everyone saw RIP Harvey trending & thought Steve Harvey. I might be the only person who thought Harvey Levin,” another user posted.
In response to Twitter’s curiosity, Steve Harvey tweeted a meme of himself.
The former Miss Universe host also retweeted memes from fans who poked fun at the trend. This isn’t the comedian’s first time dodging a death hoax. In March 2023, the Family Feud presenter had to debunk rumors he was dead after a similar hashtag gained traction on Twitter.
The TV star tweeted an image of himself holding a phone while scrolling through social media posts, and he captioned it as: “Me seeing that Rip Harvey is trending.”
