Katie Thurston is "so mad" about the fake rumors claiming she has died.
In a tearful Instagram Stories video, the 34-year-old Bachelorette alum — who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February — addressed the fake death rumors being posted on social media.
Thurston said in the video, "I literally wanted to take time away from social media, but then I was getting texts from people I don't normally hear from, and then I got DMs from people, and everyone's like, 'Are you okay?' "
She also shared screenshots of the fake death rumors, with one Facebook post falsely claiming "Thurston has officially taken her last breath."

She also requested help, adding, "If anyone works at Facebook [or] has any suggestion on what I can do please tell me."
In a follow-up video, Thurston revealed that she was "cleansing [her] heart with old videos of baby Charlie," her dog.
