NFL Network’s Jane Slater responds to viral post about her dying in ‘tragic incident’

Jane Slater is one of the top Cowboys reporters — and now she’s clearing up some fake news about herself.

The 45-year-old NFL Network reporter, who primarily covers the Cowboys, responded on Sunday to a bogus report that claimed she had been killed in a “tragic domestic violence incident.”

“I don’t think so? But does this mean there is glitch in the matrix? I’m gonna wrap myself in bubble wrap until NYE,” Slater said responding to a fan who asked if she was still alive while linking to the report.

The post from “Star Nation” had been going viral on Facebook after being put up on Saturday.

It speaks to the dangers of how fabricated stories can spread so easily on social media networks with little consequence.

Slater, though, did in fact work this weekend and had the details on Trevon Diggs’ lengthy absence from the Cowboys — reporting that Diggs missed a majority of the season after a TV he was trying to mount fell on him.

According to Slater, Diggs felt the need to address it since “speculation on the internet went way too far.”

The Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention with the Eagles win over the Commanders on Saturday night then fell 34-17 to the Chargers on Sunday.

“Today’s postgame felt like an end of the season one-yet two more games to go. There have been long seasons-this has felt extra long,” Slater wrote after the defeat.

She is not the first famous media personality this year to be swept up in a disturbing social media rumor.

The YES Network was forced to put out a statement last month that analyst and longtime Yankees outfielder Paul O’Neill did not have cancer, despite rumors floating around on Facebook.
