Dulce María Dead? Singer Debunks Crazy Rumor [VIDEO]

There's a crazy rumor out there that claims Dulce María is dead. The false story states that the "Rebelde" star died in Brazil when she was part of the popband RBD and touring the country. María allegedly got infected by a bacteria and died, but because the group was in the cusp of fame, organizers replaced the redhead with a double. Ever since then, that look-a-like has been taking her place. We don't know where this story got its start, but it recently went viral again and now the "Extranjera" hitmaker is trying to put it to rest.

“That rumor has about four years and when I read it, it made me laugh,” she told “Sale El Sol” morning show. “It was a long time ago and it seems like digital media has taken it again and… what can I tell you? It’s not true. A friend even told me, I am going to survey you to see if you are you. But yes, she said it was me.”

Dulce María is used to false claims surrounding her life. Earlier this year there were rumors that she was pregnant with her first child. In a Mexican publication, it was reported that the Mexican singer was pregnant. The tabloid magazine confirmed they had talked to a friend of the couple and although they were not planning of having children, the surprise was well received. It was allegedly an exciting moment for both that they had told each of their families a baby was on the way. The gossip article even went to the extent of publishing the alleged test results of her pregnancy.

Dulce María has come out and lashed out against TVNotas and debunked those rumors in a serious of tweets. "LOL Oh God no, what we needed. Obviously I am not pregnant, I really don't know where they get so many lies and defamations," she said. "I don't even know what is in your "note" but it's a LIE and I am shocked to see how you invent and defame everyone with your imagination and bad intentions."

Dulce also added: ""It's the fourth time that this magazine impregnates me. What I don't understand is how with such ease they affirm things based on assumptions and lies. I don't know how someone that calls themselves a journalist can work for those types of magazines, I don't know how they can sleep at night."
