Snapshots of Courteney Cox’s Baby and Godmother Jennifer Aniston-Truth!
Summary of eRumor:
This is an email that contains three pictures and the message “Look who originated the email.”
The initial email says its from Jennifer Aniston and was sent to someone named Jeff Prasertlum with the message to him that says
“Jeff,
Here are some pic’s of that Christening that I went to, that I was
telling you about….”
The pictures include Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette and her baby, Cody, among others.
The Truth:
The pictures appear to be authentic but according to a statement from the Arquette family, they were not emailed by Jennifer Aniston.
The statement threatens legal action against anyone who publishes them.
According to several articles Courteney Cox Arquette asked Aniston to be the godmother to her daughter Coco. The christening took place on Saturday, April 9 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Birmingham, Alabama. The Reverend Doug Carpenter, who did the christening, said there were no cameras during the ceremony but afterward there were pictures taken.
If the email was sent to the man named Jeff, he sent it to five of his friends, and it went onward from there to become one of the top requested stories on TruthOrFiction.com.
TruthOrFiction.com had doubt that the original email was from Jennifer Aniston.
We have friendship with a number of celebrities and we don’t know of any of them who reveal who they are in their email information.
One interesting side note is that this particular eRumor was the kind that people tended to circulate with all the previous forwarded messages attached. That was because they wanted people to scroll down to the original message and see that it was allegedly from Jennifer Aniston. We decided to analyze one of the versions of the eRumor that was sent to us to see how many people had forwarded it to how many others. It’s impossible to know precisely because some of us forward mass emails in a way that courteously conceals the email addresses of those to whom we send them, but here is what we came up with:
There were 53 forwards to a little over 300 people that we know of.
If you add an average of about 6 people for every blind list, it means that at least 372 people are represented in this one forwarded email over a period of 3 days.
