We’re only about five days into the quarantine and social media is already losing their minds.
Late Tuesday night, a wild conspiracy theory that was posted on Facebook on Sunday claiming Oprah Winfrey was arrested for sex trafficking took Twitter by storm for and instantly became the #1 trending topic on the popular social media app.

Despite the fact that there was no news source to corroborate Oprah’s arrest it spread like wildfire on social media.
Welp, Oprah is the top trend in the United States because QAnon people completely made up that she was arrested as part of their fictitious baby eating ring.
These people's delusions are extremely unwelcome at this moment. https://t.co/7W3ree2c6D

Just got a phone call that my name is trending. And being trolled for some awful FAKE thing. It’s NOT TRUE. Haven’t been raided, or arrested. Just sanitizing and self distancing with the rest of the world. Stay safe everybody.🙏🏾
