Why are people on social media accusing Garth Brooks of being a serial killer?
Just when you thought social media couldn’t get dumber, Twitter is now X and people won’t stop claiming that Garth Brooks is a serial killer over on the dumpster fire that is Elon Musk’s platform.
Yep. You read that right. The country music superstar is being called a serial killer over there. It’s relentless and is clearly not based on anything that is factual.
Brooks has found himself in the middle of controversy lately for daring to suggest he might serve Bud Light in his new Nashville bar and having the gall to ask his fans to support refugees in the Ukraine, but this is clearly more serious and it apparently predates all of that.
So, how did we get here with Brooks’ mentions being flooded by the unfounded claims?
Well, according to multiple reports, it all began with comedian Tom Segura and Brooks’ 2018 concert tour announcement. At the end of the video, Brooks says, “Let’s get physical playing music,” with a smile.
Segura then reportedly joked that Brooks looked like he has killed multiple people before. It has grown legs and taken off from there with a conspiracy that his tour dates coincide with multiple missing people reports even being added to the story.
That has led fans of Segura to show up in Brooks’ posts to ask, “Where are the bodies, Garth?’
Many people, it seems, are in on the joke.
But there are other people who genuinely and unbelievably seem to believe there are facts behind this and you will easily find people on Musk’s platform claiming Brooks is a serial killer.
Again, there are no facts — zero — that suggest Brooks has killed anyone.
Segura recently told comedian Theo Von on his podcast that Brooks has blocked him on Instagram over all of this.
It was probably overdue considering the beating the guy is taking over on social media around this one.
Again, there are no facts — zero, none, nada — that suggest Brooks is a serial killer.
