Death Hoax
On February 18th, 2013, an alleged tweet from Brazzers claimed that Sins had died in a car accident (shown below). However, the claims were quickly rejected by Sins' fellow actors Keiran Lee[2] and Lisa Ann[3]. The site "Is X Dead?" made a page for Johnny Sins, with more than 500 users saying he had died[4].
Johnny Sins himself came out and made a video clarifying he was alright on March 13th, 2013 (shown below). The original tweet has not been proven to have even been posted by Brazzers or had a definite origin and was most likely an edit attempting to spread false news and spark a viral death hoax.
Association With Pranks
Sins has been used several times in pranks in which pranksters make a person or organization retweet or share pictures of Sins. In May of 2021, Intercept reporter Ken Klippenstein got anti-vax author Dr. Naomi Wolf to retweet a made-up anti-vax quote attributed to "Dr. John Sims," pasting the quote over a picture of Sins in a doctor costume.
