Really? Why are websites using Kellie Shangyne Williams as clickbait?

I have seen at least TWO websites using Kellie Shangyne Williams as clickbait. One website implied that she committed suicide in their clickbait. "50 Celebs who shockingly committed suicide! Number 14 will shock you the most!" And they had a clear picture of young KSW as clickbait. Kellie is not dead from suicide. In fact, she is not dead at all. She should sue the website.

On another website, a website said,"Celebrities that made millions, but went broke!" They had a clear picture of younger KSW on the left as clickbait and then had a despairing looking adult woman on the right that looked like a crack addict and implied that was KSW as an adult after she went broke. KSW doesn't show up at all on the actual "broke" list. She should sue the website.

Drake is repetitive. He just raps the same thing over and over as if he is in an insane asylum!LOL:D

I just hate when they do that, showing a picture of a celebrity and implying some terrible stuff.

Actually one time I wished it HAD been false was when I saw a headline, "Celebs You Probably Didn't Know who Died."

There was a picture of the beautiful Michelle Thomas who played Myra and she had indeed passed away in 1998. I was so shocked. She was barely thirty. She had a rare form of cancer.

There is a similar one on YouTube which shows Jaleel White's photo with the title about former child stars you didn't know had died. I knew that was click bait as they were probably referring to Michelle Thomas. I also saw one with Aunt Bea from the "Andy Griffith Show" which said that you would not believe what she looks like now. Well she died in 1989, so probably not so good.

"Well she died in 1989, so probably not so good." Boy that's gruesome, but I had to laugh. LOL!!!!! Your sense of humor is sicker than mine. LOL!!! HA!

I hate myself when I fall for it and scroll through all the pictures only to find out once again...I've been had!

Me too. I'm usually a sucker for the "whatever happened to 80's/90's child stars" ones.
