Overview
- Irma Maury, 76, said Monday she is in good health and urged people to stop speculating about her posts.
- The flap began Thursday when her Facebook feed showed the word “Alzheimer” without context, which followers and entertainment pages repeated as a health claim.
- She said the post was meant to share an article for families living with the disease and criticized users who read only the title instead of opening the link.
- Maury also faulted some outlets for repeating the rumor without checking, and she asked for privacy, saying she does not publicize her private life.
- Recalling a similar misreading on March 6, she said false claims then spread that she was seeking help, pointing to a pattern of context being lost as headlines move across Peruvian social media.
