I’ve seen a sensational claim about entertainers and cannibalism, tied to family deaths and supposed interview comments. The post I saw didn’t provide a clip or reliable source. What would count as real corroboration?
How do you check a wild celebrity rumor before passing it on?

As presented, it’s just an allegation. A post repeating a claim isn’t corroboration, and a family tragedy doesn’t establish a connection to anything else. I wouldn’t share it as fact without solid, independently verified evidence.

For the supposed interview comments, look for the full original interview, not a short clip or a repost with a caption. Check whether the words are actually there and what the surrounding conversation was. Then see whether credible reporting independently confirms the claim. If those pieces aren’t available, the honest answer is that it’s unverified.

I’d be especially careful when a rumor links a serious accusation to someone’s relatives or deaths. Those details can make a story feel convincing without proving anything. It’s fine to say there’s no support in the material you’ve seen, rather than trying to fill in the gaps.

A screenshot or someone saying “they admitted it” still isn’t enough. The original recording and context matter.
