Jason Lee (right) standing by his website's claims that the Queen has died. There is no proof of that.

The Royal Family has not issued a response. There is no indication that the Queen’s death has been confirmed.

The internet is in a rage after a pop culture news site run by reality TV star and blogger Jason Lee posted “exclusive news” Tuesday claiming that Queen Elizabeth II has died — without proof.

“Sources close to the Royal Kingdom notified us exclusively that Queen Elizabeth has passed away. She was scheduled to attend the wedding of British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, but was found dead,” the Hollywood Unlocked blog post read.

The Royal Family has not issued a response. There is also no indication that the Queen’s death has been confirmed.

Since the story was posted to Hollywood Unlocked on Tuesday, the claims on Lee’s site have gone viral (close to 30,000 tweets) — with many questioning the validity of the news. Lee, who is also a reality TV personality of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop” doubled down on his sources in a Twitter post.

“We don’t post lies and I always stand by my sources. Waiting for an official statement from the palace,” he tweeted late Tuesday.

On Wednesday, another Twitter account under the name “Hollywood Unlocked” tweeted an apology to the Royal Family. Lee has since gone onto Twitter to debunk the account, standing by his story.

“Woke up to some fake account posting a retraction. We do not know that account and we have not retracted our story. There has yet to be an official statement from the Palace. Staying tuned,” he tweeted.

This comes after Buckingham Palace announced that the Queen tested positive for COVID-19 last week. They said the 95-year-old royal, who is fully vaccinated with a booster shot, was doing fine, and was just experiencing minor symptoms.

On Instagram, Lee has a following of over 500,000 users. He is also shown to be partying with A-list celebrities like Floyd Mayweather, Kanye West, Cardi B, Tiffany Haddish and more.

On YouTube, Lee’s TMZ-style Hollywood Unlocked channel has more than 315,000 followers and features Lee, and other co-hosts, speaking with guests about celebrity gossip and fallouts. Lee has also been invited as a guest on the widely popular radio show Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM based in New York City.

Lee first appeared on Season 2 of “Love and Hip Hop.” He also appeared on the popular MTV improv show “Wild ‘n Out” in recent years.

Here are some reactions to this internet saga:
