Sorry Everyone, That Story About The Amy Poehler-Lookalike Stripper 'Squirting' At Police Isn't True

Sorry Everyone, That Story About The Amy Poehler-Lookalike Stripper 'Squirting' At Police Isn't True

You may have seen Amy Poehler trending on Twitter recently, have clicked on the trend, and wished you could have removed your own eyes.

Attached was a picture of a woman who looked astoundingly like Poehler and a shocking headline:


"Miami Stripper Arrested for Squirting Vaginal Fluids at Police Officers in Self Defense."

As "wild and fun" as that idea would have been, closer examination of the photo and the headline brings us to a source that ultimately confirms it as fake.

The "article" was originally run by the World Daily News Report, a satire of news media with the tagline "where facts don't matter."





This false news story has circulated quite a bit over the last year, with the Amy Poehler look-alike woman at the forefont.

But apparently, that resemblance is also overstated.

The photo appeared in The Smoking Gun in 2008, and it appears to have been altered since its original iteration.





But just because the photo and headline are faked does not mean the concept is not amusing.

Plenty of folks are joking SNL will want to get Amy Poehler on as soon as possible to address the moment.





The story is still widely circulating on Twitter, still being shared as real.

Poehler has not yet commented.

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
