Regardless of the reason why Oprah became the center of this rumor, she got on Twitter to respond to it all. Oprah tweeted, "Just got a phone call that my name is trending. And being trolled for some awful FAKE thing. It’s NOT TRUE. Haven’t been raided, or arrested. Just sanitizing and self-distancing with the rest of the world. Stay safe everybody."

On Valentine's Day, she revealed that she was engaged to Paul Michael, a man she met at her former sober living home in late 2019. Just three weeks later, they split up. Then Paul Michael announced they were back together and just yesterday I was telling you how they announced on Instagram that they were expecting their first child together with a sonogram picture. Well, now those posts have been deleted from their accounts and Amanda Byne's lawyer, David Esquibias, is asking to respect her privacy at this time while she “is seeking treatment for ongoing mental health issues.” He said,“Any reports that Amanda is suffering from drug or alcohol addiction issues are completely false... We ask for privacy during this time, and for any speculation about her personal life from the public and the media to cease so Amanda can focus on getting better.”

You know me, right? I’m technically only six degrees away from you... Right now, like people around the world, I’m staying home, because it saves lives and it is the only way we’re going to slow down the spread of this coronavirus... Because the contact that you make with someone, who makes contact with someone else, that may be what makes somebody’s mom or grandpa or wife sick.” Kevin Bacon explained that everyone has someone that is worth staying home for, and shared that he is socially distancing to keep his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, safe. He held up a sign that said, “#IStayHomeFor Kyra Sedgwick.” He's encouraging his followers to do the same and share a photo or a video with the hashtag explaining who they were staying home for and to tag six of their friends to follow suit.
