When Kate Middleton received surgery in January, many people found the circumstances rather fishy. The Royal Family released pictures on Mother’s Day featuring the Princess of Wales and her children, but it looked photoshopped in some places.
The truth had some people regretting their words.

Lea Michele can’t read.
Embed from Getty ImagesThis theory goes back to a 2017 podcast that discusses a story from Nata Rivera’s memoir. The memoir claimed that Lea wouldn’t improvise on the set of Glee because she memorized her lines after they were read to her. Fans wondered if this was because she couldn’t read.
TikTok speculation and memes further fueled this conspiracy theory in 2023 despite Michele denying the claim.
Khloé Kardashian is OJ Simpson’s daughter.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe connection between the Kardashians and O.J. Simpson has long fueled conspiracies and speculation. One popular theory is that O.J. Simpson is actually Khloé’s dad.
While the family has denied this rumor many times, it resurfaces periodically.
Avril Lavigne was replaced by a lookalike named Melissa.
Embed from Getty ImagesPerhaps one of the wildest and most well-known celebrity conspiracy theories is that Avril Lavigne died in 2003 and the label replaced her with a doppelganger named Melissa.
This theory runs deep and includes people claiming that her features completely changed. However, most of the claims are rather outlandish and make no sense.
Louis Tomlinson had a fake baby.
Embed from Getty ImagesPeople who were in or know about the One Direction fandom have probably heard of this wild theory. Many fans claimed that Louis didn’t actually have a baby, but instead, it was part of a cover-up of the fact that he was secretly dating Harry Styles.
Fans took this one too far.
Embed from Getty ImagesWhile it’s common to speculate about a star’s dating life, claiming he wasn’t actually a father was just not right. Fans needed to take a step back, given that this conspiracy theory involved a child.
Katy Perry is JonBenét Ramsey.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe tragic case of JonBenét Ramsey is still surrounded by mystery and speculation. A conspiracy theory in the mid-2000s took off claiming that Katy Perry was actually JonBenét because the two look similar when you compare baby pictures.
While many people want to solve the case, this theory is just odd.
Keanu Reeves is immortal.
Embed from Getty ImagesKeanu Reeves is almost universally liked and continues to look nearly the same. Some fans created a website claiming Keanu has been alive since at least the 1500s. They claim that he looks very similar to paintings and images from various periods, including back to Charlemagne.
Similarly, some people think Anne Hathaway’s husband was reincarnated.
Embed from Getty ImagesPeople online discovered that Hathaway’s husband, Adam Shulman, looks a lot like William Shakespeare. Then, they realized that Shakespeare’s wife was also named Anne Hathaway.
Most people seemed to take these similarities as a funny joke, although it is interesting to think about.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a PR relationship.
Embed from Getty ImagesWhen Swift and Kelce went public with their relationship in 2023, many people thought it seemed fake. People questioned the timing of the relationship as Swift had recently been linked with Matty Healy and split with Joe Alwyn earlier that same year.
The pair are still together months later.
Embed from Getty ImagesThese facts, combined with all the publicity she received at his NFL games, rubbed some fans the wrong way. However, the pair insist that their relationship is completely real.
They’ve also been dating for nearly a year at this point, so naysayers have mostly started to agree the relationship is legit.
Princess Diana’s death was planned.
Embed from Getty ImagesPrincess Diana’s death was devastating. Many people in 1997 to today speculated about what actually happened, as they didn’t believe the car crash was an accident.
While it’s hard to accept that she died so young, the truth is that it was very likely just a tragic accident.
