Luis Manzano Faces Lawsuit for Faking His Own Death? Shocking Twist in Viral Death Hoax!

In a bizarre and unexpected turn of events, actor and TV host Luis Manzano is now at the center of a legal controversy after rumors swirled online suggesting he may have had a hand in orchestrating the fake news about his own death — a claim that has shocked fans and left netizens scrambling for the truth.

The chaos began when several social media pages published alarming posts announcing Luis Manzano’s supposed “passing.” The false report rapidly spread, triggering confusion, fear, and even online tributes. But what started as another case of celebrity death hoax has now taken a darker twist.

According to sources, a private citizen has reportedly filed a formal complaint against Luis, accusing him of manipulating the narrative to “gain media attention and sympathy.” The complainant alleges that Luis may have “deliberately allowed” the rumor to go viral before publicly debunking it, causing undue panic and “emotional distress” to the public — a claim Luis’s camp categorically denies.

“This is utterly ridiculous,” said Luis in a statement through his legal counsel. “I did not start, authorize, or benefit from that fake death news. If anything, I was one of its victims. My family and loved ones were traumatized.”

Luis further explained that the moment he became aware of the viral post, he immediately took to social media to clarify the truth and call out the spreaders of the hoax. “I was shocked and disturbed like everyone else. I have no idea who started it, but I intend to pursue legal action against them,” he said.

However, the lawsuit against him is now raising eyebrows. Critics argue that it may be an opportunistic move by clout chasers, while others speculate that it could be part of a smear campaign. Legal analysts have also weighed in, pointing out that unless concrete evidence is presented, the case may be quickly dismissed as baseless.

Still, the damage has been done. The death hoax not only distressed Luis’s family — particularly his wife Jessy Mendiola and his mother, Vilma Santos — but also opened him up to unnecessary legal drama. Many fans have taken to social media to defend Luis, calling the lawsuit “outrageous” and “cruel.”

As the case gains media traction, Luis remains unfazed and is reportedly cooperating fully with authorities to trace the origin of the viral hoax. “If they want drama, they picked the wrong guy. I’m alive — and I’ll fight this head-on,” he said with trademark wit.

The ironic twist? A man very much alive is being dragged into court over being declared dead.
