Dolly Parton Shuts Down Scam Rumors With An Instagram Post
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Rumors of Dolly Parton endorsing CBD gummies mysteriously hit the internet late last year. And well into 2023, chatter of the singer being affiliated with the gummies has continued. But alas, the country superstar has put a swift end to the scammy ads with a quirky Instagram post this week.
"Dolly Parton is not affiliated with, has not endorsed and is not associated with any keto or CBD gummy product. She's more the cake, cookie, and cornbread type," read the statement from Team Dolly.
Fans on Instagram were quick to applaud what could likely be the most Dolly Parton statement ever. "Who is trying to start beef with Dolly?" one user questioned. Some users, on the other hand, were a tad disappointed. "Okay but imagine Dolly CBD products….. we would go crazy over that," said another follower.
Rumors of Parton endorsing keto CBD gummies began to surface last December when people reported seeing images of the musician in Facebook ads promoting the product. Snopes, a fact-checking website, reported that the ads for the gummies, which were said to "reverse dementia," mentioned Parton by name and included pictures of her.
According to Snopes, it turns out that the Facebook ads were created by scammers who used Parton's name and pictures without any authorization.
Although the singer has clearly not embarked on any CBD business ventures, she did recently add a few new products to her Duncan Hines line. Proving that she quite literally is "the cake, cookie, and cornbread type," the new collection includes mixes for buttermilk biscuits, cornbread, fudgy brownies, and caramel turtle brownies.
