Man City star Phil Foden calls in lawyers after online hoax claimed his six-year-old son had died and daughter, four, had cancer

 Manchester City and England winger, Phil Foden is reportedly speaking to lawyers after internet trolls circulated hoaxes that one of his children had d!ed, with another diagnosed with cancer.  According to Mail Online, the football star has been the subject of a number of online rumours, with social media users creating AI images appearing to show Foden and his partner Rebecca Cooke crying together, alongside one of their children.  A legal team is working with Foden's management in a bid to remove the stories and pictures from the social media platforms.  On Facebook, false posts circulated which claimed that Foden's eldest son Ronnie, six, had passed away.  Another post on the platform, by an account called Man City Fan Lover, told of Foden's 'Heartbreaking Confession' 'Breaking the Internet', alleging that the England international was 'struggling to stay focused on football' following the diagnosis of his four-year-old daughter True with cancer.  Cooke, who shares three children with Foden including their youngest Phil Jnr, is believed to have addressed the distressing lies on her own social media platform, calling them 'sickening'.  'We are aware of the pages and accounts spreading these stories,' Cooke shared via her Instagram profile. 'They are completely false and very disturbing. 'I don't understand how people can make up these things about anyone, especially children. It's sickening. 'We are all absolutely fine thank god & thank you for all your concerns we are doing everything we can to stop them.' 'Please report any posts or pages you come across sharing these false stories.'The post Man City star Phil Foden calls in lawyers after online hoax claimed his six-year-old son had died and daughter, four, had cancer appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
