Anyone familiar with the Internet's affection for celebrity hoaxes (many of which exist not to defame the celebrity but just to tell a strange tale) can safely assume this is a fake. But there's something about the author's earnest tone mixed with the bizarre claims (what does speaking whale even mean?!) that makes this especially unforgettable. The story went sort-of viral, and shortly after, another installment in this whale of a tale hit the Internet.
A (clearly photoshopped) image shows "Lovato" and the fan arguing over Twitter DM, with the pop star demanding that the fan remove the unflattering story. Only not in those exact words. The fake Lovato simply tells the fan, "Delete it fat."
After making the rounds on Reddit and Twitter, Iggy Azalea caught wind of the story and apparently became obsessed with it, saying the phrases "delete it fat" and "vagina flick" are now part of her daily dialogue.
