Lil Tay’s Father Denies Claims From Her Instagram Account That He’s Responsible For The Fake Reports On Her Death: ‘Everything Stated Is 100% False’

Internet star Lil Tay’s father is speaking out after being blamed for her death hoax that occurred last month.

In a statement, the celebrity’s dad claimed that recent allegations made against him are not true, adding that he may very well take the situation to court.

Lil Tay’s father, Christopher Hope, shared with TMZ:

“The person who is responsible for that Instagram post, as well as anyone repeating the completely false and libelous accusation within it, are virtually certain to become defendants in a defamation lawsuit.”

Adding:

“Everything stated is 100% false, and I trust that this should be obvious to anyone who knows me or the long history of absurd and untrue statements made by the various people who have controlled the Instagram account.”

Christopher Hope issued his remarks after an Instagram story uploaded to Lil Tay’s account earlier today (September 26th), accused him of being an abuser and credited him for false stories about her death. The post he was referring to shared his image with the caption:

“MY ABUSIVE RACIST MISOGYNISTIC WOMAN BEATING FATHER FAKED MY DEATH”

At this time it is unclear who created the post, as Lil Tay’s reps claimed in their initial response to her death reports that her account was hacked by a “3rd party.”

In case you’re unfamiliar, the internet was shook back in August after reports that the 16-year-old YouTuber and her brother suddenly passed away hit the media. Exact details weren’t shared at the time, but the post was reportedly verified by her manager and sources close to the entertainer.

Nearly a day later, Lil Tay reportedly released a statement, clarifying that she and her brother were okay and expressing her grief about the situation. At this time, there has been no actual sighting of the social media personality since the whole ordeal went down. That point makes the situation all the more weird, considering that Lil Tay began building her brand online, hailing herself as “the youngest flexer of the century” and blowing up with her comical flex videos. Though she hasn’t been seen much on the internet since taking a hiatus following her parents’ nasty divorce and custody battle, she is still well known among the internet community.
