According to a September 4, 2014, article by CNN, “Some White fans misread the headline of a satirical story published by Empire News on Wednesday that said the 92-year-old actress ‘Dyes Peacefully In Her Los Angeles Home.'” CNN reported “Many took to Twitter to spread their distress, not realizing that ‘dyes’ is not ‘dies’ and without reading the story which only revealed that White ‘is not a natural blonde.'”
