RICKY Gervais has been thrown into chaos after a vile fake epitaph claiming his partner Jane Fallon had died spread online.

The comedian, 64, is said to be reeling and disgusted by the heartless AI-generated hoax hitting Jane, 65, who’s battling breast cancer.

The fabricated obituary appeared just after Jane revealed doctors had “basically got it all” following surgery, sparking outrage.

Fake images showing Jane hooked up to hospital tubes added fuel to the fire, prompting a furious response from Ricky and their inner circle.

A source close to the couple told Radar Online: “Ricky was left absolutely reeling when he saw the fake epitaph – it left him shocked, disturbed and deeply disgusted.

“To see something so final and so cruel written about someone he loves, especially while she is going through cancer treatment, felt beyond the pale.”

Jane herself slammed the hoax, confirming on social media that the hospital photos were “100 per cent fake – AI generated.”

She posted, “I’ve taken the post about the obituary down, because I don’t want people to think I’m upset by it. I’m not. P—– off yes.”
The incident has reignited fierce debate over the dangers of AI misinformation targeting vulnerable celebrities.

Jane continues to share candid health updates, showing resilience despite the cruel online attack.

The scandal has left those close to the couple fearful about how AI tools are weaponised to cause pain.

And now the pressure is only building as Ricky and Jane face the fallout from this shocking digital cruelty.
