Reba Calls Out Fake Story: ‘This Is Not True’
Reba McEntire reads stuff that people write about her online, and recently, she saw something that was not true and felt the need to correct it.
Reba posted to Instagram a shot of an article online with the headline: “Reba Confirms She’s Leaving ‘The Voice’ After Her Accidental Live Confession.” In big red letters, she wrote over the article “FALSE.” She captioned the post with a warning to fans: “Please do not click on any articles that say I am leaving The Voice. This is not true.”
She added, “These are fake websites to lure people in with clickbait where they claim I have a company to sell weight loss gummy products. This is false. I do not sell or promote any type of gummy product. Please report these posts if you see them on Facebook or Instagram.”
Many fans appreciated the post, with one commenting, “Thanks for confirming this, Reba. We can’t always trust social media & the crap they put out there.” Another fan joked, “Now if the article was about Tater-tots, we would know it was real.” One more fan said, “I love you, queen. You are always looking out for people.”

Reba will star in a new sitcom pilot for NBC. The pilot is the first order of the 2024 season for the network.
The comedy pilot, which has yet to be titled and no cast members announced except for Reba, will be with former Reba showrunner Kevin Abbott. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Abbott is set to write the script for the project.
The potential series will revolve around Reba’s character, who inherits her father’s restaurant. She is less than thrilled to discover she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.
In this journalist’s opinion, the part of the half-sister should be played by former Reba TV sitcom co-star and good friend to McEntire, Melissa Peterman. The two have such chemistry and have worked together many times since meeting on the Reba sitcom in 2001. Reba told me in an interview, “With Melissa Peterman, everything is always fun.”
