AceShowbiz - Chris Cornell's widow Vicky has dismissed reports Lauchlin MacDonald is to play her late husband in a biopic as "completely fabricated".
News of Lauchlin's alleged casting in Brad Pitt's movie "Like a Stone", about the tragic Soundgarden rocker, hit headlines on Thursday, September 26, - with Loudwire among the outlets to report on it.
However, Vicky took to Twitter to set the record straight about the report, writing: "This is completely fabricated @loudwire please do your research before reporting. This is a spoof IMDb page by trolls and haters who have so much time on their hands to create fake pages- a mockery. I’m sorry to the fans who were misled #fakenews #fakefans #pathetic #seekhelp."
She later suggested that the fake news may be part of a bigger attempt to harass her and her family, tweeting: "No fan of @chriscornell would do such a thing. This commitment to hurting us- fabricating documents, impersonating me, harassing our children - how deranged - over 2 yrs. On behalf of my husband who’d say much more- take your crazy + stay away from us + his memory #youneedhelp,".
Pitt is producing "Like a Stone", which will reportedly star Robert De Niro's actress daughter, Drena De Niro as Vicky. He's been working on the film since shortly after his pal's death in May, 2017.
His passing was ruled a suicide by hanging.
