Jamie Lee Curtis Raises Concerns After Posting That She Is ‘Not Dead’

Jamie Lee Curtis left her followers with questions after posting a photo of herself with the caption, “NOT DEAD.” Although her note was unsettling, the scream queen looked gorgeous as she showed off her silver-gray hair in the bathroom mirror selfie.

She appeared simple yet classy in her black top, matching glasses, minimal jewelry, and no makeup. Fans wasted no time expressing their concerns about what motivated her statement. “My heart sank the moment this photo popped up not gunna lie haha,” someone admitted.

Someone asked if anyone made up fake news about the star, as is familiar with many celebrities. “I just don’t get why people bloody do that, ugh,” they added. Amidst the ruckus, many comments simply encouraged Jamie, referencing her former life-threatening addiction. “I join you in being not dead, with 30 years and eight months clean and sober,” a fan quipped. “7 months without a cancerous bladder. Life don’t make it easy, lemme tell ya.”

Apparently, rumors had circulated on Facebook and YouTube that the Freaky Friday star passed away. “We all loved her movies,” a Facebook user stated months ago, with another adding that she will “be deeply missed.” Jamie’s recent post dispelled the false news and assured her followers. “Oh man!!! I was getting ready to cry,” a relieved fan exclaimed.

Jamie may not have survived today

Last year, Jamie celebrated 24 years sober after battling opioid addiction and a secretive life of petty crimes. She regards the freedom from her former life as the “greatest accomplishment,” which has helped her “accept myself.”

“My sobriety has been the key to freedom, the freedom to be me, to not be looking in the mirror in the reflection and trying to see somebody else,” she told People magazine.

She also admitted that she would not have survived if fentanyl had been so accessible then as it is today. “There are women in prison whose lives have been shattered by drugs and alcohol, not because they were violent felons, not because they were horrible people, but because they were addicts,” she said. “I am incredibly lucky that that wasn’t my path.”
