A recent claim circulating on social media alleges that a photo depicts singer Lady Gaga consuming human flesh on Jeffrey Epstein's island. The image has been misrepresented, with people interpreting it as evidence of cannibalism. The post, which surfaced on Facebook in early February, features a caption in Malay suggesting that Epstein was serving a dish of human flesh, adding to the conspiracy narrative surrounding the notorious financier and sex trafficker.

In reality, the photograph captures a moment from a performance art piece, where Lady Gaga interacts with artist Marina Abramović. The performance took place during a creative showcase, and the dark liquid in the image is part of the art, not anything sinister. This misleading interpretation reveals how impressionable audiences can be when sensational claims utilize recognizable figures in questionable contexts. It showcases the need for critical engagement with content shared online.

The propagation of such misinformation not only misrepresents the artists involved but also feeds into ongoing conspiracies surrounding Epstein’s legacy and the broader issues of celebrity culture and exploitation. The fact that notable personalities are drawn into these narratives emphasizes the susceptibility of public perception to viral misinformation, highlighting the responsibility of internet users to verify facts before sharing potentially harmful content.
