This claim was made on @verucasalt444 's account on tik tok but has since been deleted. This is a re-uploaded video of what she posted claiming that Anna Paul, social media personality, does not financially assist her father even though he is homeless and she makes a lot of money.

I am interested as to why you used TikTok as a source. Anyone can post anything on that it would have been more beneficial to your claim to use a real source like the NY Times or CNN.

This is true about Tiktok but you didn't exactly answer the question or do research. Tiktok isn't a reliable source but the poster is just trying to see if people have any evidence of the situation.

Community Rules


Be respectful.

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

If you are new to factchecking, take some time to learn about it. "How to Factcheck" has some resources for getting started. Even if you disagree with these materials, they'll help you understand the language of this community better.

News Detective is for uncovering misinformation and rumors. This is not a general interest question-answer site for things someone could Google.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.

News Detective is not responsible for anything anyone posts on the platform.
