Fact Check: Tamela Mann Has NOT Promoted Weight Loss Gummies

No Endorsement

Did gospel singer Tamela Mann endorse weight loss gummies? No, that's not true: Mann publicly refuted that she promoted weight loss gummies. Mann and several other celebrities are falsely tied to weight loss or keto gummy endorsements.

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) published on Facebook on March 23, 2024. The post included a video with narration that sounded somewhat like Mann's voice. The narration promoted weight-loss gummies called "Miracle Root Gummies." The caption of the post read:

When the fake promotion was posted, Mann had already directly debunked the claim that she endorsed weight-loss gummies. In a video post (archived here) published on Mann's official Instagram account on March 11, 2024, she said that she is not selling any weight loss products. She also said that the voices used in such videos are manufactured by artificial intelligence and that if she is not with her husband and fellow gospel singer David Mann, the advertisement is not real. The post's caption warned consumers:

Don't be deceived! Beware of scammers!

Lead Stories did a search using the keywords "'Tamela Mann'" and "'Miracle Root Gummies'" on Google, visible here, which found no credible documents or reporting to corroborate the claim.

Lead Stories has debunked numerous claims falsely linking celebrities and public figures with gummy products. Those fact checks can be found here.
