Did Justin Bieber say Jim Carrey "died of Kuru" (a rare disease linked to cannibalism), from eating child meat at Hollywood parties? No, that's not true: There is no evidence that Bieber ever made the comments about Carrey. The viral article in which the quotes appear cites no sources and provides no recordings or documentation. The website that published the video is among the most prolific online publishers of fake news.
The claim originated in a May 13, 2026 article published by The People's Voice titled "Justin Bieber Reveals Jim Carrey "Died of Kuru" After Years of Child Meat Parties in Hollywood" (archived here) which opened:
Justin Bieber just declared war on Hollywood. He says the entertainment industry is built on ritual abuse, corruption, and the sacrifice of children in exchange for fame and power. And this isn't metaphor, performance art, or coded symbolism.
Users on social media only saw this title, description and thumbnail:

Had Bieber claimed that Carrey "died of Kuru" after eating child meat at Hollywood parties, there would be extensive news coverage, considering the prominence of celebrities involved. Lead Stories searched Google (archived here) and Yahoo News (archived here) and found other versions of the same Peoples Voice claim, but none supplying evidence.
The People's Voice
The People's Voice is among the most prolific online publishers of fake news. Articles on the site often link to and extensively quote stories from other sites to give an appearance of legitimacy, but the main claim in the headline and/or the first paragraph of each article is almost never supported by the sources that are offered. The site routinely makes up quotes from people or misrepresents scientific study results.
It originally started as YourNewsWire in 2014 and rebranded as NewsPunch in 2017. In 2023 it rebranded itself again to The People's Voice. The People's Voice/NewsPunch/YourNewsWire has published numerous fake news articles in the past, so anything that appears on the site should be taken with a large grain of salt. Its Facebook page, "The People's Voice", lost its verification checkmark, according to a 2018 report from Media Matters For America.
