Celebrity Conspiracy Theories

In the words of the great Kylie Jenner, it really has been a year of “realising things”.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been through every single quarantine trend to come out of 2020 so far. 

You’ve been addicted to Big Brother, binge watched Tiger King, The Last Dance and every single true crime documentary Netflix has to offer. You’ve learnt all the Tik Tok dances and could perform the Savage dance routine in your sleep. You’ve baked until your boyfriend/ housemates/ work besties are actually starting to complain about the constant supply of triple choc cookies in the cupboard (the AUDACITY). You have online shopped, redecorated, consumed WAY too much wine/ chocolate and have picked up that book you’ve been meaning to read at least 5 times (still not finished, no surprises there).

We’re all ready for our next obsession. 

And lately, there is one topic that we absolutely cannot shut up about (and no, I’m not talking about astrology… for once).

Celebrity conspiracy theories.

Celebs.

They’re just like us, no? From Beyonce, to Avril Lavigne, to the Kardashians, to Post Malone, we’ll take you some of the wildest celeb conspiracy theories floating around out there.

Illuminati confirmed? We’ll let you decide.

Avril Lavigne Dead and replaced by a clone

According to internet theorists, Avril Lavigne was replaced by a lookalike clone named Melissa in 2003. The theory that Avril was cloned first came up in 2005, but has recently resurfaced all over the internet.

This theory claims that Avril was struggling with fame at the beginning of her career, and began using a cloned body double named Melissa. At some point, it is said that Lavigne died, so her record company replaced her with Melissa full-time in order to keep making money from her lucrative career. “Proof” has included Avril’s changing red carpet style (Avril was a tomboy in trousers and menswear, Melissa prefers dresses and skirts) and apparent slight differences between the facial features of pre-2003 Lavigne, and the current version we know today. Avril’s music style also changed drastically over the years, from her original grunge/ rock style on her “Let Go” album to a more marketable sugary punk/pop style with her hits “Girlfriend” and “What The Hell”.

Theorists also believe Avril/Melissa (we’re not sure what to call her at this point) has left clues in songs, such as Slipped Away, in which she sings: “The day you slipped away was the day I found it won’t be the same. There was even a publicity shot in which Avril had the name “Melissa” written on her hand. Kind of spooky.

Justin Bieber is Post Malone

Ok, so… calling all Biebs and Post Malone fans… this theory will definitely interest you. Recently, we came across a YouTube video called “Do all Justin Bieber’s songs sped up sound like Post Malone?”. We were definitely curious so for the purpose of uncovering this theory, we listened to it and OMG. They sound eerily similar.  

This has sent theorists over on reddit into a tailspin, with many noting that Posts career really took off right as Justin was taking a hiatus from releasing music. Their rhythm,  pronunciation and flow are nearly identical once the pitch is changed. Would you put it past Record companies to piggyback off the immense popularity of Justin Bieber while he was taking a break? It sounds crazy, but when you hear the “proof”, it doesn’t seem as much of a stretch as you would initially think.

Posty and Biebs are close friends and make cameos in each others  music, is this further evidence or does this disprove the theory? We’re on the fence with this one.

Kardashian Konspiracies

The Devil works hard, but oh that Kris Jenner, she definitely works harder. I’m, sure by now, all of you are familiar with a lot of the ups and downs in the lives of reality tv’s royal family. There isn’t much that the Kardashians aren’t willing to share for ratings, but more than once we’ve been left thinking… Did this really happen or was this all masterminded by Kris?

Cast your mind back to 2011 and you may remember that before Kimye was official, Kim Kardashian married Kris Humpheries in a WILDLY decadent ceremony, filmed exclusively for E! Then, a mere 72 days later, Kim announced she was divorcing Kris. The fact that the marriage ended so quickly led people to suggest that the whole thing was a sham, orchestrated to secure the Kardashians millions of dollars and record ratings for E! 

Kim denies that the relationship and marriage were fake, however there is no denying that the short-lived union made the family a lot of money and tons of drama and Kontent for their reality show.

You probably also remember how the Kardashians shocked us all by revealing the Kim, Khloe and Kylie were all expecting babies within months of each other. Khloe and Kylie were both pregnant with their first babies, and Kim was expecting her third via surrogate.

However, at the time, Kylie completely disappeared from the public eye for seven months and refused to confirm or deny her pregnancy, sleuths and fans came up with their own theory- The Kylie was Kims surrogate!

However this theory was put to bed when two individual babies arrived at the start of the year- Kim’s daughter Chicago, followed shortly by the arrival of Kylie’s very own baby, Stormi, much to the shock of the rest of the world.

Finally, there is a rumour doing the round on the internet that all the Kardashian men are cursed (kursed?).

This theory suggests that any man to come into the Kardashian orbit will end up destroyed. People have decided that this “curse” is to blame for any and all of the Kardashian mens problems- from Rob’s mental health issues and weight gain, to Scott Disick and Lamar Odom’s alcohol and drug abuse, Kanye Wests’ 2016 breakdown and more recently, bizarre twitter rants.

While the previous theories could definitely be put down to some Kris Jenner scheming, we’re definitely debunking the third here as untrue (mental health and addiction are no joke and shouldn’t be taken lightly).

Britney Spears is a clone

This wild theory claims that Britney and her then Boyfriend, Justin Timberlake were in a car accident shortly before the release of Britney’s debut album ..Baby One More Time in 1999.

These theorists claim that this was orchestrated by the Illuminati, and that Britney was killed instantly in the wreck.

Apparently, according to the theory, her record label was forced to clone her so they could continue making money off her music.

It is claimed that they made several clones to use throughout her career, which theorists use to explain her changing looks.

Britney’s ups and downs throughout her time in the spotlight, were allegedly caused by the clones malfunctioning and glitching, conspiracy enthusiasts say.

Beyonce: A faked pregnancy? Solange’s mother? Queen of the Illuminati?

Wow. Where do we start here? As one of the most talented and recognised women in the world, it comes as no surprise that Queen B has come under scrutiny from internet conspiracy theorists, and some of the theories are WILD. There are quite a lot floating around out there so we’ve picked out a few of the most well known.

Firstly, that her first pregnancy was fake. Bey gave an interview on Australian TV program Sunday Night, while she was supposed to be heavily pregnant with her first daughter Blue Ivy. 

During the filmed interview, Bey took a seat on the couch and in doing so, something really weird happened to her baby bump- it completely flattened out. We’re pretty sure that when you’re pregnant with a baby, the bump can’t just deflate, its not anatomically possible…. We aren’t the only ones who thought this was odd. Internet forums exploded with theories and suggestions as to what could possibly explain this unnatural looking field situation that happened to the bump. She responded to the rumours, denying that she used a fake bump, which was weird in itself- bey is known for never responding to rumours… why now?

Secondly, wait for it, Beyonce is actually Solange’s mother! 

This totally feeds in with the whole “Beyonce is older than she says” rumour which has been doing the rounds forever. The whole Solange story comes from a blind item posted on a gossip site a few years ago, It has no evidence other than hearsay but picked up a lot of traction. While there is only a five year age gap between the two, this blind news article claims there is actually a 14 year age difference. So basically, some dude on the internet said it therefore its true *rolls eyes*.

Finally, a conspiracy that I’m sure you’ve heard before- Jay-Z and Beyonce are the King and Queen of the Illuminati.

The whole Illuminati story is so involved it would take us an entire book to explain, and we’re not totally debunking THAT theory.

However Jay and Bey being the leaders of the New World Order? We’re not sure that we’re convinced.

As the theory goes, Aaliyah (who died in a plane crash in 2001) was on her way to huge heights with Illuminati support, but wanted out. The theory suggest she was actually killed and that Beyonce took her place.

Lets just let that settle in for a moment.

When Jay Z and Beyonce got married, it was to illuminati conspiracists, the ultimate union in Illuminati power.

Whats most annoying about these Illuminati theories which surround many female celebrities- Bey, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry… is the fact that people won’t consider for a moment that any of these women got to the top because they’re extremely talented and crazy- driven? Oh no. It has to be a secret society with lots of money. Surrrrreee *rolls eyes again*

Ok, I don’t know about you, but this is a lot to unpack. Someone hand me a glass of wine.
