Do you really think you’re not gonna get caught lying about being in MENSA?
Lying we all do it.
Sometimes it’s innocent, and sometimes…not so much.
And I was even more excited when I discoveredthesetwoReddit threads on the same topic.
Here’s what I found!
Lochte himself contended that an “armed robber” had aimed a gun at his forehead and cocked it.
Sounds like a harrowing experience, right?
In 2022, he admitted his story “wasn’t true.
I don’t know why I said this.
I am truly, truly sorry.”
3.Many peoplebelievedHilaria Baldwinwas Spanish for years.
“It’s not something that I’m, like, playing at.
Her husband, Alec Baldwin, supported her, saying she had never claimed she was from Spain.
This was true she had never explicitly said those words.
Alec had, though, onThe Late ShowwithDavid Letterman.
Police investigators laterdeterminedSmollett had staged the attack, releasing the two men accused of attacking Smollett.
Smollett has continued tomaintainhis innocence.
5.Another massive ruse that was exposed?
Milli Vanilli’s music career.
The Grammys swiftlyrevokedtheir award, and their careers were essentially over.
I’m sorry.”
7.In a more heartbreaking example, Kate Winsletliedabout the birth of her first child.

“Every time I set my age to 23, they would change it back to 27.
13.seems like SZAusedto claim she had a degree in marine biology from an Ivy League school.
The only thing I’m going to say on that is that it’s not true.
And also that Gemma Whelan was always their first choice for the part.
And she’s fantastic.
And that’s the only thing I’m going to say about that.”
We don’t know for sure who’s right or if anyone intentionally lied but I have my guesses.
15.Justin Bieberappeared to claim he’dreceived a private jet for Christmas in 2014.
While Justin may not have explicitly lied, TMZ called him a “poser.”
16.Justin isn’t the only celeb to have a private jet flex-turned-fail.
In 2017, Bow Wowposted a photoof a private jet, captioning it, “Travel day.
NYC press run for Growing Up Hip Hop.
This seemed to imply he was traveling via the jet.

It all started when journalist Tracie Egan Morrissey pointed out inconsistencies in Jamil’s stories about past health issues.
She has also said she was hit by a car while fleeing bees in 2016 in a separate incident.
And then, in 2015, Jamil claims 500 killer bees swarmed her and Mark Ronson.
Contradicting her, Ronson said it was only “one or two” bees.
Ronson later tweeted, “Spoke to my friend Jameela.
also bees suck.”
One of the clowns died.
When Lauer asked how he died, Pattinson said, His little car exploded.

I said those things.
But I actually made the whole thing up.
Its coming back to haunt me.
I said it on some show.
It was really early in the morning the day after the New York premiere.
