TikToker Kelsi Bergmann addresses death rumors

TikToker Kelsi Bergmann became the subject of widespread speculation on Friday after rumors of her death circulated on social media. 

Bergmann's TikTok account, which has over 1.5 million followers, was flooded with comments, sparking debates about whether she was alive or not. Some were convinced that the influencer had passed away, while others firmly denied the claims.

The confusion arose when a woman named Kelci, also from Pennsylvania, tragically passed away. A grieving friend shared emotional videos mourning Kelci's death, which went viral and inadvertently led people to believe that Kelsi Bergmann had died.

Kelsi, who rose to fame on TikTok under the username BigSexy81, finally addressed the rumors in a video, confirming that she was alive and well. She reassured her followers that nothing was wrong and cleared up the misunderstanding.

Known for her positive presence on the platform, Kelsi often has to defend herself against bullying comments, particularly as a 6’5” lesbian influencer. In addition to her social media presence, she runs OM Crystal Jewelry, a crystal and handmade bracelet business, with her mother, Kelly Reese.
