  • An undated April 2017 item published by Viral Actions claimed that Atlanta man Fernando Hutchins was attacked and raped by a gay gang known as the Sweet Bloods: The same claim had been published previously in December 2016 by Blakk Pepper, and that iteration included a clue about its dubious origins: Blakk Pepper credited TMZWorldNews for the recycled falsehood, though that site's version of the story no longer appears to be live. TMZWorldNews and sibling sites Celebtricity, TMZWorldStar,TMZUncut, and TMZBreaking are all known purveyors of fake news and hoaxes, although none includes a disclaimer warning readers about the fabrications they spread. In February 2016, TMZWorldNews used the same photograph that appeared in the stories about the purported gay gang rapes to illustrate an article claiming a study proved 80 percent of men in Atlanta were gay.
