After the false rumor of actress Angelina Jolie weighing just 76 pounds made news, the latest target of gossip-spreading outlets was Julia Roberts as they claimed her “marriage drama” with husband Danny Moder was causing her health to deteriorate. However, the rumor was shot down by Gossip Cop as soon as it reared its fake head.

Just like the report by Hollywood Life last week, which included the opinion of a nutritionist who did not know Jolie, an article on NW titled, “Julia’s Divorce Agony – Down To 46KG,” started the rumor of the actress’ failing health, and also quoted an unnamed expert who never met Roberts.

The article claimed the “Eat, Pray, Love” actress looked so “gaunt and stressed” when she stepped out in Los Angeles recently that her friends grew concerned and started speculating her drastic weight loss was a result of her failing marriage.

After a false premise of Roberts’ health was set up, the publication let the unnamed expert chime in.

“It looks like she weighs about 46kg (101 pounds), which is very skinny for someone of her height,” he expert told NW. “[Its very clear] she’s not taking care of herself and she is spreading herself too thin.”

The publication never explained how the “expert” knew Roberts was supposedly not taking care of her health just by looking at some recent photos of her, but instead proceeded to cite another anonymous source, who claimed to have an inside scoop on the actress’ marriage.

“Of course it would be very sad if they split,” the insider was quoted as saying. “But sometimes two people just fall out of love for each other. Julia likes to promote this image of the happy family, but the truth is far from it. Friends think they could divorce soon.”

In an attempt to lend credibility to the untrue narrative, the insider went on to explain why he or she thought the actress’ marriage was in trouble.

“Julia’s career is red-hot again and that has been a big source of contention for her and Danny,” the insider claimed, adding Moder was “miserable” being a stay-at-home father to their children – Hazel, Phinnaeus and Henry Daniel.

The inside source also said Roberts was grappling with insecurity that her husband will stray from their relationship whenever he goes away for work. She worries "karma could be coming her way,” alleged the “source,” presumably because the couple fell in love while shooting “The Mexican.” “They still care about each other. But they’re realizing their problems are too great to overcome.”

Gossip Cop pointed out both the rumors – about her marriage troubles and failing health – were untrue. According to the gossip-busting site, the actress was seen running errands in a tank top last month, which showed off her toned arms. At the same time, she was seen stepping out for a coffee with her husband.

More recently, Roberts posted a photo on Instagram where she was seen hugging her husband. She captioned it: “Oh Summer, thank you! You made us happy and brave. We embraced every moment of sun drenched JOY.”

All of these evidence points to the fact that Roberts’ marriage is pretty secured and so is her health.
