He tweeted "RIP Carrie Fisher" and when people called him out on it he said he had friends that have inside info that she's dead.

What a cunt. This isn't a fucking Nintendo Switch rumour, wait for official confirmation and stop trying to get the "scoop.

 

[whyamihere]

Ugggggggh nooooo

 

[Durden77]

Fuck, I hope she'll be alright.

Did I miss something about Max Landis? What's the difference between him tweeting this and someone from tmz reporting?

TMZ did not use false information. Landis did. And he shit it out as quickly as he could to capitalize.

 

[Sesuadra]

TMZ is tweeting about the situation at hand: Carrie suffered a heart attack

Max is tweeting that he heard she's dead, something very different, based on hearsay.

TMZ did not use false information. Landis did. And he shit it out as quickly as he could to capitalize.

and one tweet after he is talking "she is a family friend" well, then, why would you tweet something like that in the first place...

 

[F0rneus]

Max Landis is scum.

 

[disappeared]

Carrie
please be all right.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Don't watch so much TV, defibrillators are not magic and can't re-start a heart.

? They're used to treat cardiac arrest and offer a much higher success rate than chest compressions alone.

 

[Pickman]

The 2016 meme shit really needs to go away. Celeb deaths and shitty things will not stop in 2017, you know.

No, but 2016 has been particularly mean spirited to the interests of a broad array of our peers and elders, including the celebrities they were fond of.

If 2017 is shitty, we'll tell it to get fucked, too.

 

[kingocfs]

Max Landis is scum.

This can't be said enough, really.

He said she had died and Tweeted RIP. He then deleted the RIP tweet.

Ah, ok, only saw the tweet where he says that his friends are there. Spreading misinformation is of course shitty.

 

[sappyday]

It's better we don't give Max Landis anymore attention.



My prayers are with Carrie Fisher

 

[Ohwiseone]

Max Landis really is a piece of work isn't he?

You do realize people hate 2016 for reasons beyond just celebrity deaths, right?

 

[Ashodin]

less hate and more wishful thinking please

 

[DKehoe]

What's the odds on Landis posting a, "Ha! TOLD YOU!" if she does end up being called by the doctors? What an enormous piece of shit.

She's apparently a family friend so I would really doubt it.

 

[Roufianos]

Fuck Mike Landis and also these "Fuck 2016" posts are a joke. This is a woman's life not some shit event in an ongoing meme.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Dammit

Fuck 2016

 

[Brakke]

What's the explanation? Are there a lot of AEDs available and a high rate of first aid training?

? They're used to treat cardiac arrest and offer a much higher success rate than chest compressions alone.

They don't restart hearts though, they basically just fix abnormal rhythms

 

[MrV4ltor]

I love her so much, hopefully she can pull through.
She seemed happier than ever in her most recent interviews
Praying for her and hoping for the best.

The 2016 meme shit really needs to go away. Celeb deaths and shitty things will not stop in 2017, you know.

People deal with loss and tragic shit in their own way. Who gives a shite who says fuck 2016.

I'm a fucking atheist and I'm praying. Genuinely got tears in my eyes. I can't even.

 

[PizzaFace]

I'm not wild on Landis to say the least, but his friends (who were actually there) told him she had died, so he tweeted RIP.

What's the problem?

 

[TimeEffect]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

 

[Premium Quality]

Hoping she's ok.

 

[Meowster]

NOOOO 😭 Stay strong Carrie

 

[Killer Queen]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

You're never too young for a heart attack also she's done a lot of drugs

 

[mjc]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

She's 60, has a history of drug problems and she's smoked for many years.

 

[Tankard]

I hope she will be alright =(

 

[AndersK]

Landis has the worst social intelligence/awareness.

Just. Don't, man.

 

[Grenchel]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

Age isn't necessarily a factor. You can have one extremely young.

 

[linkboy]

I hope she's OK, my thoughts go out to her and her family.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Come on, Carrie.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

She's done a lot of hard drugs in her life time.

I hope she pulls through.

 

[msdstc]

This is awful . If she really did stop breathing for that length of time even if she does pull through, she will not be the same person .

 

[Volimar]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

I had a friend that had a heart attack when he was 27. He pulled through, but yeah it can happen.

 

[Anung]

I'm not wild on Landis to say the least, but his friends (who were actually there) told him she had died, so he tweeted RIP.

What's the problem?

He should wait for a professional to call it or at least respect the wishes of immediate family and how they might want to handle this news.

Max all about Max tho.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

Did a great deal of drugs at one stage. She's past that, but one does wonder if the effects of the toll that took on her could tie to this.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Terribly sad news.

 

[Measley]

Fuck man, this year needs to end already. 2016 has just been too much. :-(

Might have to fire up Force Awakens in her memory.

 

[Blazrok]

Wishing her the best.

 

[E92 M3]

Anoxic brain damage will unfortunately lead to a grim reality. Wishing for a miracle.

 

[RoadHazard]

Fuck, hope it's not as bad as it sounds...

 

[Spartancarver]

No

 

[MattyG]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

My grandfather had one in his late 30s and another in his early 60s, so no.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I'm not wild on Landis to say the least, but his friends (who were actually there) told him she had died, so he tweeted RIP.

What's the problem?

He's announcing the death of Carrie Fisher before it's confirmed and while actual news outlets are reporting she's in critical condition. He obviously shouldn't have tweeted that.

 

[Ridley327]

Isn't she too young for a heart attack? Was she healthy before?

She's been relatively clean for a while now, but she's had a lot of substance abuse problems in the past, along with a lot of weight problems. With those factors, cardiac arrest at an age like this is certainly possible.

Hope she pulls through.

 

[RecRoulette]

Not assuming the worst until TMZ says so, hope she pulls through

 

[Morrigan Stark]

You do realize people hate 2016 for reasons beyond just celebrity deaths, right?

Yeah, but the one major reason for it is actually going to get worse from 2017 onwards too, sooo....

Fuck Mike Landis and also these "Fuck 2016" posts are a joke. This is a woman's life not some shit event in an ongoing meme.

Indeed.
