D.C. Young Fly has addressed a “fake” GoFundMe asking to raise $1 Million to save the late Jacky Oh’s home. Earlier today, a screenshot of the GoFundMe was surfacing on social media. However, the page now says “Fundraiser not found.”
@Pagesix spoke with the comedians publicist BStarPR, who said they took “swift action to ensure the fundraiser was removed” and are “highly pleased with this result.” In the exclusive statement released to the news outlet it was also revealed that every donor who gave money to the fake GoFundMe was refunded. “GoFundMe’s team followed their process and communicated to us ‘confirming this fundraiser has been removed from the platform and all donors have been refunded. Cases of misuse are very rare, and we take swift action against those who exploit the generosity of our community,’” the statement read.
“I hope people remember Jacky for her brilliance and values. Please continue to keep the family in your prayers. We look forward to providing her viewers with upcoming announcements regarding her continued legacy soon!”
Many social media users were confused because Jacky Oh’s sister posted the GoFundMe link to her Instagram account asking for help so the house doesn’t get foreclosed.
“As a family, we are humbly requesting your assistance to help us pay off the home that Jacklyn worked hard to provide for her children, Nova, Nala and Prince Nehemiah,” the now-deleted page read.
“We appreciate any amount you can contribute, and we assure you that every penny raised will be used to save Jacklyn’s home.”
