Little-known mistakes and bloopers in The Rifleman
The father-son bond in The Rifleman remains one of the greatest in TV history, even 60 years later.
For those who grew up in the late 1950s, this Western classic was a must-watch in many homes, teaching timeless values like respect and honesty.
But beyond its powerful moments, The Rifleman also had its share of little-known mistakes, bloopers, and fun facts that only die-hard fans might notice.
Stay tuned as we uncover the hidden gems behind this iconic Western…
Those early Westerns, like The Rifleman, were packed with historical inaccuracies, but who cares? They’re still a blast to watch and offer richer characters than anything on TV today. Every episode delivered a meaningful takeaway, often focusing on basic human values with a heartwarming moral twist.
The Rifleman starred the legendary Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain, a widowed rancher and skilled sharpshooter raising his son, Mark, played by the charming Johnny Crawford. The duo captivated audiences with their heartfelt bond and thrilling adventures in the Old West.
Even though the series has been hailed as one of the greatest ever produced, even the best of the best can have their slip-ups… So let’s take a peek behind the scenes and uncover some things most of us viewers had no clue about!
Lucas McCain a trendsetter
It’s no surprise that cowboy Lucas McCain preferred jeans, but it turns out he was ahead of fashion trends by about half a century! Sharp-eyed viewers might have caught a scene in “End of a Young Gun,” one of the early episodes featuring Michael Landon, where a shirtless Lucas repairs a wagon wheel.
You can see a “W” stitched on the back pocket of his jeans, and yes, he’s actually wearing Wranglers. The catch? The series is set in the 1880s, but those jeans didn’t start being produced until the 1940s. More than just a fashion-savvy cowboy, he Lucas McCain a true trendsetter and definitely ahead of his time!
Connors’ real son
As I mentioned, one thing I really loved about the show was the father-son relationship. But did you know that Chuck Connors’ real-life son makes an appearance in the series? In the episode “Tension,” Mark and Lucas attends the funeral of Sid Halpern, a friend of the McCains.
The widow and son, Toby, are there dressed in black. It was Jeff Connors, Chuck Connors’ second son with Faith Quabius, who played that young Toby and he had two lines. Sadly, Jeff passed away in 2014.
Getting Chuck wasn’t easy
Casting the lead role in The Rifleman was no easy feat.
Chuck Connors had to outshine 40 other actors, but landing the role was far from guaranteed. Initially, he turned it down due to a low salary offer from ABC, as he could earn more as a freelance actor.
However, Connors eventually secured the role in an unexpected way. It all started when the producers took their children to see Old Yeller, where Connors portrayed a strong father figure. After that experience — presumably with the kids sharing their thoughts — the producers came back with a much better offer, including a five-percent ownership of the show. And just like that, it was all set!
The 1892 Winchester rifle
Every episode of The Rifleman opened with Chuck Connors showcasing his remarkable skills, cranking off a seemingly endless barrage of shots with his saddle-ring carbine. With a dramatic flair, he would spin the rifle, effortlessly toss it from his right hand to his left, and insert a new cartridge, all while giving a menacing stare directly into the camera.
To pull off these iconic scenes, the production utilized two identical 1892 Winchester rifles — one for filming and the other as a backup.
Some might have assumed that the opening scene featuring the 1892 Winchester rifles was trick photography or somehow manipulated. However, the truth is that Connors was genuinely that fast and agile with his carbine. As a former athlete who played professional basketball and baseball in both major and minor leagues before transitioning to acting, he had impressive skills and coordination that made those quick movements look effortless. What we do know though, is that the weapon had been customized to enable rapid firing by cycling its lever action.
The Duke connection
Lucas McCain’s trusty Winchester rifle was more than just a prop; it was a true scene-stealer with an interesting backstory.
The Rifleman took place in the 1870s and 1880s, so it’s impossible for the 1892 Winchester rifle to have existed during that time.
However, this iconic rifle had a previous life on the big screen, making its debut in none other than John Wayne‘s classic 1939 film, Stagecoach. Producer Arnold Levin later revealed the exciting twist: the rifle used by Lucas McCain was the very same one wielded by the Duke in his legendary movie.
The Madera Hotel
The Madera Hotel was a well-known landmark in North Fork throughout the series, frequently appearing in various episodes.
However, in the pilot episode, The Sharpshooter, the establishment underwent a name change to California House. Speculation arose regarding a possible ownership change between episodes, but no one really knows why the establishment suddenly switched names.
Johnny Crawford got blacklisted
At the age of 3, Johnny Crawford made his debut in front of the cameras during an audition. But it wasn’t a success – in fact, he got blacklisted after his performance as a 3-year-old actor.
”I don’t remember the picture and I wound up on the cutting room floor anyway. But I played one of a bunch of refugee children and I was in a scene where Rosalind Russel was supposed to give us all chocolate bars. I think I got blacklisted after this film because the scene had to be reshot and I refused to give back my chocolate bar for the second take,” Johnny Crawford told The Miami Herald in 1973.
”Hazardous” task of casting a new female lead
While widower Lucas McCain primarily focused on raising his son, the series also featured several romantic interests. In the third season, it seemed like Lucas and Milly Scott, played by Joan Taylor, were on the brink of a budding romance.
However, this storyline fizzled out when Milly left the show in season four, with a vague explanation that she needed to head back east.
This left producers in search of a new female lead, introducing the character Lou Mallory. The challenge was to find an actress who not only fit the role but also had undeniable chemistry with Chuck Connors.
To ensure a successful match, Chuck was actively involved in the casting process. However, this turned out to be more challenging than anticipated. Chuck interviewed over a dozen women who seemed perfect for the part but just didn’t quite click.
”A few months ago, I was handed what I thought was a dream assignment. At least it started out on a dreamlike note but almost snowballed into becoming a nightmare,” the actor shared.
After carefully considering over 60 women, the choice ultimately fell to the stunning red-haired beauty Patricia Blair, who hailed from Texas.
Recognize this baseball hall-of-famer?
As previously mentioned, Lucas McCain was an incredibly skilled baseball player. However, he could never match the prowess of former Dodgers star Duke Snider, who made a guest appearance on the show. (Chuck Connors hit only two home runs during his Major League Baseball career).
The celebrated baseball player, nicknamed “the Duke of Flatbush,” portrayed the character Wallace in the episode titled The Retired Gun. Another former baseball star who made an appearance on the show was Don Drysdale.
Johnny Crawford’s brother popped up
The Rifleman was heavily centered around family themes, and it was the first network television series to portray a single parent raising a child.
In addition to Jeff Connors, another relative of the show’s stars made an appearance: none other than Bobby Crawford, brother of Johnny.
He played the character Freddy in the episode Second Witness, and both he and Johnny delivered performances so impressive that they earned Emmy nominations in 1959. Bobby, whose full name is Robert Lawrence Crawford Jr., continued his acting career and portrayed Andy Sherman on the NBC television series Laramie from 1959 to 1960. He is still alive today and is 80 years old.
Over-protective of Johnny Crawford
It is already known that Chuck Connors looked after the young Johnny and the two actors kept a close relationship off-screen when the series ended.
From a young age, Johnny Crawford admired Chuck Connors, particularly because of his passion for baseball. Their affectionate bond during The Rifleman became a defining aspect of Crawford’s life, as he learned invaluable lessons from his mentor both on and off the set.
”It was a fascinating part of my education listening to Chuck tell his baseball stories or he’d be reciting Casey at the Bat or he’d be doing speeches from Shakespeare. This always surprises people, that Chuck Connors knows Shakespeare,” Crawford told The Buffalo News.
Their special connection is beautifully captured in the classic photo below, showcasing the deep camaraderie and mutual respect they shared.
Actor Paul Fix, who played Marshal Micah Torrence on The Rifleman, also felt a great responsibility for Crawford.
During the filming, he became an extra father to Crawford, and he made sure that all the weapons used during the filming were secured. For Paul Fix, his obsession with security around Crawford was personal.
Fix himself had a near-death experience as a young boy when he played around with his brother and a weapon misfired. The bullet was a hair’s breadth from killing Fix; it was a miracle that he survived.
Buddy Hackett twist
In a surprising twist of casting, Buddy Hackett, known for his comedic genius, played the father of an actor who was actually four years his junior.
In one episode of The Rifleman, Buddy Hackett portrays Daniel Malakie, a father who discovers that his two sons, Ben and Jud, have landed in jail. Interestingly, Christopher Dark, who played the “boy” Ben, was born in 1920, while Hackett was born in 1924. This age dynamic makes for some creative casting, proving that Hollywood has a knack for bending traditional family roles and age expectations…
Baby girl was played by a baby boy
Does the name Robert Anacher ring a bell? No? That’s understandable! His most notable role came was when he played the adorable baby girl Fancy in the episode The Baby Sitter. But as it turns out, the girl was actually a boy.
Shot dead with a pistol
In the pilot, which was originally intended for Gunsmoke (1955), Chuck Connors’ character was named John McCain. According to IMDB, he didn’t have any children and was a dead shot with a pistol.
Sammy Davis Jr. impressed the crew
Know as “Mr Show Business” and “the greatest entertainer ever to grace a stage in these United States” – Sammy Davis Jr. is a dearly missed superstar who forever carved himself into American history.
But did you know he made an appearance in The Rifleman? In the episode Two Ounces of Tin, Sammy Davis Jr. portrayed the outlaw Tip Corey. He showcased impressive skills with a gun, demonstrating quick draws and impressive twirling maneuvers. What’s remarkable is that all of these stunts were performed by Davis himself, without a stand-in!
The hair styles
Despite being set in the 1880s, most of the actors in The Rifleman sported hairstyles that mirrored the trends of the 1950s and 1960s, when the show was actually filmed.
This anachronism is further highlighted by the wardrobe choices, as many of the men wore full-front button-down shirts — a style that didn’t even emerge until the 1920s and didn’t gain popularity until the 1930s. It’s a fascinating blend of historical context and mid-century flair that adds an unexpected twist to the classic Western!
Chuck Connors’ headstone
Chuck Connors, renowned for his athletic prowess, smoked three packs of Camel cigarettes daily. Remarkably, he was one of only twelve athletes in history to play both Major League Baseball and in the NBA.
In the fall of 1992, Connors was hospitalized due to pneumonia. Tragically, three weeks later, he succumbed to lung cancer. He was laid to rest at San Fernando Mission Cemetery, where his headstone proudly displays the logos of the three sports teams he represented: the Boston Celtics, the Chicago Cubs, and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
As we wrap up our journey through the iconic world of The Rifleman, it’s clear that this classic Western series has left an indelible mark on television history.
With its unforgettable father-son bond, memorable characters, and a perfect blend of action and moral lessons, the show continues to resonate with audiences today. I still watch the reruns now. RIP Johnny and Chuck

Little-known mistakes and bloopers in Dukes of Hazzard
The 80s were a golden era for television, where only the best made it to the screen.
The Dukes of Hazzard captured the hearts of millions, thanks to its action-packed scenes, iconic General Lee, and memorable cast. But like any beloved classic, the show had its fair share of bloopers, hidden facts, and mistakes that fans continue to spot to this day.
From slip-ups to behind-the-scenes secrets, there’s a lot more to The Dukes of Hazzard than meets the eye. Let’s take a closer look at some of the fun and surprising moments that made this show a true piece of 80s TV history.
There’s something timeless about The Dukes of Hazzard. With its no-nonsense approach, minimal swearing, and pure, unfiltered enjoyment, it became a must-watch show for millions.
And who could forget Daisy Duke? With her iconic short shorts, she practically invented a fashion trend that still resonates today.
For many, she was one of the main reasons to tune in, with her poster hanging proudly on bedroom walls alongside the likes of Farrah Fawcett. The Dukes of Hazzard wasn’t just a TV show—it was an experience, one that had us glued to the screen every Friday night, eagerly waiting for the next adventure of Bo and Luke Duke in their beloved General Lee.
From the memorable cast to the unforgettable chases, it was the kind of show that brought everyone together, whether you were out riding bikes in the summer or rushing home just before 8 p.m. Let’s take a look at the magic of The Dukes of Hazzard — a classic that still stirs up those nostalgic memories of simpler times.
Sorrell Booke’s surprising contract
Here’s a fun fact about Sorrell Booke’s role as Boss Hogg on The Dukes of Hazzard: His contract had a unique clause that the character could never be involved in drug dealing or murder. It’s an interesting stipulation, especially considering Boss Hogg’s corrupt and mischievous ways.
But it speaks to the lighthearted, family-friendly tone the show maintained. Sorrell’s perfect blend of humor and charm made Boss Hogg one of TV’s most iconic antagonists, and honestly, I think he deserved at least one Emmy nomination for his unforgettable performance.
To bring the character of the rotund “Boss” Jefferson Davis Hogg to life, Sorrell Booke actually wore padding under his suit to give the illusion of being even chubbier than he naturally was. It was all part of his commitment to making the iconic character as memorable as possible.
Truth about General Lee’s famous ”Dixie” horn
Did you know that General Lee’s iconic “Dixie” horn wasn’t originally part of the plan? While filming the early episodes in Atlanta, the producers were driving when they heard a car zoom by blasting the familiar tune. Intrigued, they chased down the driver, convinced him to sell the horn, and paid a pretty penny for it.
Turns out, they could’ve just picked it up at any auto parts store for a fraction of the price! And if that wasn’t funny enough, the horn was only used in the first five episodes. After that, it was added in during post-production once filming moved to the Warner Brothers lot. Talk about a classic case of “oops!”
John Schneider lied about his age
In several interviews, John Schneider revealed that he actually lied about his age to land the role of Bo Duke.
He told the producers he was 24, when in reality, he was only 18. To add to the deception, he showed up for the audition in a casual t-shirt and blue jeans, carrying a six-pack of beer, and even used a Southern accent—despite being from New York City.
Georgia School of High Performance Driving
When John Schneider auditioned for The Dukes of Hazzard, he also told producers he was a graduate of the Georgia School of High Performance Driving. The only problem? That school didn’t exist!
”But they bought it,” Schneider told Fox News.
However, John wasn’t just making things up — he actually had a natural talent behind the wheel. He could slide the General Lee around corners and burn rubber like a pro. Of course, he wasn’t allowed to perform the big stunt jumps or high-risk scenes, but if they had let him, there’s a good chance he could have pulled them off.
The iconic “Daisy Duke” shorts
How many TV characters inspire a sense of fashion that lasts decades after the show is gone? Catherine Bach, best known by the public for her role as Daisy Duke, has written herself into pop culture history forever.
In a 1996 interview on E! True Hollywood Story, Bach shared that her famous shorts almost didn’t make it onto The Dukes of Hazzard. When she first wore them, the network executives absolutely freaked out.
They insisted she couldn’t wear such revealing shorts, and after some back-and-forth, they reluctantly agreed — on one condition: Catherine had to wear pantyhose underneath to avoid any “accidental reveals.”
But instead of hiding anything, the pantyhose actually highlighted her long, shapely legs even more, and she quickly became a ’70s TV sex symbol. It’s funny to think that what was initially meant to cover up ended up making Catherine one of the most talked-about stars of the era.
Cut-off denim shorts are still referred to as “Daisy Dukes,” and I think there are girls still wearing the iconic hotpants today – referring to them by name without knowing anything about the TV show. That’s pretty remarkable.
Wanted a Dolly Parton look-a-like
As the naturally beautiful Daisy Duke, Catherine became one of the most famous faces on television. Her character was loved by many, and Daisy was the reason a lot of us watched the show. According to Catherine, the producers were looking for a Dolly Parton look-a-like to play the role of Daisy.
They wanted a girl with lots of blonde hair, big boobs, and an hourglass figure. Nevertheless, Catherine went in for the audition and nailed it. CBS hired her that same night.
However, the connection to Dolly Parton was actually there from the start of The Dukes of Hazzard. In the pilot episode, Daisy Duke is even described as knowing the lyrics to all of Dolly Parton’s songs, and early episodes hint that Daisy has dreams of starting a music career herself.
“The character is a conglomeration of many people I know. She is half the wildest girl I ever knew in high school. She is part of a couple of girls I was real close to in Georgia. She’s a lot of Dolly Parton and she’s a lot of me when I was a waitress. She is independent. She is physical. And she can do anything the guys can do,” Catherine explained in 1979.
Rosco’s slip-up: Daisy becomzes Cathy
Here’s a fun little blooper from The Dukes of Hazzard that probably flew under the radar for most viewers!
In the episode State of the Country, right at the end, Rosco accidentally calls Daisy by the name Cathy just before she hands him the gun. It’s a tiny slip-up, hardly noticeable unless you’re paying super close attention – check it out belo
The moment that never reached TV
John Schneider, who was the biggest Dukes of Hazzard fan in the cast, took the show’s ending in 1985 especially hard.
While the final aired episode, Opening Night at the Boar’s Nest, wrapped up with the characters celebrating Boss Hogg’s unexpected stage comeback, the true last scene filmed never made it to TV—or even the DVD release.
In that unseen moment, Bo and Luke sat in the General Lee, sharing one last bit of banter in the Boar’s Nest parking lot. When the cameras stopped rolling, Schneider recalled the emotional weight of the moment: ”Unlike the televised ending where we all hugged at the Boar’s Nest, I remember saying, ‘Well, that’s a wrap.’ Then the rear projection screen went blank, and I cried like a baby behind the wheel of that engine-less General.”
It wasn’t just John who felt the loss — fans were heartbroken too. But 11 years later, when TNN brought back reruns, the love for The Dukes of Hazzard was reignited, leading to two TV movies and a whole new generation of fans.
Waylon Jennings’ mom kept waiting
Waylon Jennings not only narrated The Dukes of Hazzard, but he also gave the show its iconic theme song, Good Ol’ Boys — his first single to sell over a million copies! He once said it was one of the easiest records he’d ever cut, and it sure paid off. The song hit #1 on the country charts in 1980 and even went platinum as a ringtone in 2007.
But here’s the fun part — Waylon’s mom watched The Dukes of Hazzard every week, hoping to catch a glimpse of her son. The problem? The legendary country singer was only heard, not seen! In fact, the only part of him that made it into the opening credits was his hands strumming a guitar. That’s why in the full version of the theme song, Waylon added the cheeky lyric: “You know my mama loves me… but she don’t understand, they keep a-showing my hands, and not my face on TV!”
Luckily, Waylon finally got his on-screen moment in 1984 when he guest-starred as himself in Welcome, Waylon Jennings.
Waylon Jennings had his own General Lee
Did y’all know Waylon Jennings had his very own General Lee? As a thank-you for creating the show’s iconic theme song, the producers gifted him an orange Dodge Charger — complete with the rebel flag on the roof and the famous “01” on the doors.
Waylon absolutely loved the car. In his book Waylon, he wrote, “Even today when I look out on my driveway and see General Lee, the orange Dodge Charger they gave me with the rebel stars and bars painted on its roof and a big 01 bull’s-eyeing the door, it makes me laugh. Great car for eluding a sheriff.”
Years after Waylon’s passing, his beloved General Lee resurfaced in a 2016 eBay auction, complete with his personal letters and documentation. The starting price? Around $77,000 — proof that anything tied to The Dukes of Hazzard still has a special place in fans’ hearts.
Truth about the General Lee
Ready for some fun facts about the legendary General Lee? During the production of The Dukes of Hazzard, a lot of cars were totaled. Replacing the police cars was easy, but finding replacements for the General Lee was a challenge since Dodge had stopped making the Charger. Producers would even stop people on the street if they saw a Charger, offering to buy it on the spot. Over the course of the show, somewhere between 256 and 321 General Lee cars were made and mostly destroyed, according to IMDb.
The iconic orange car, with the Confederate battle flag on its roof, the “GENERAL LEE” logo on the doors, and the famous “01” number, was based on a 1969 Dodge Charger. Fun fact: in the first five Georgia-filmed episodes, there was an additional checkered flag behind the rear window, but it had to be removed because replicating it over and over was too tricky.
The name General Lee came from the Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and it was inspired by the real-life moonshine runners who drove a 1958 Chrysler called Traveler. That was almost the name of the Duke boys’ car too, but the producers figured General Lee had a bit more punch. Oh, and if you’re wondering, the third episode, called Mary Kaye’s Baby, is the only episode in the series in which the General Lee does not appear.
Oh, and if you’re wondering, the third episode, Mary Kaye’s Baby, is the only episode in the series where the General Lee doesn’t make an appearance.
The big plot hole
A major plot point in The Dukes of Hazzard was Bo and Luke’s probation, which kept them from leaving Hazzard County legally.
However, when Tom Wopat and John Schneider, the actors who played Bo and Luke, walked off set due to salary disputes at the start of Season 5, their characters were temporarily written off. They were replaced by cousins Coy Duke (Byron Cherry) and Vance Duke (Christopher Mayer). The show explained their absence by saying Bo and Luke had left to race professionally in NASCAR. But here’s the catch— how could Bo and Luke travel the country if they were still on probation?
How Flash earned her treats on set
Rosco’s beloved basset hound, Flash, made her first appearance in the Dukes of Hazzard episode Enos Strate to the Top and quickly became a fan favorite. Flash was adopted from a Los Angeles dog pound, as shared on the Dukes of Hazzard County Facebook page.
Throughout the series, Flash was a loyal companion to Rosco, always by his side during his many misadventures. On set, James Best, who played Rosco, would use pieces of hot dog to direct Flash’s attention toward the camera. After each scene, Flash got her well-earned treat.
Can you spot the random onlookers?
Throughout the series, it wasn’t just viewers at home who were curious about what was unfolding on The Dukes of Hazzard. In fact, several curious onlookers during filming ended up appearing in the show — something fan Eric Sweeney pointed out in this Facebook post. Check out the image below, which is just one example of when an unsuspecting person made an appearance in the series
Who’s driving?
In certain episodes, stock footage of Bo and Luke driving the General Lee was reused. However, there were times when the footage got mixed up, showing Bo behind the wheel even though Luke was actually driving in that scene.
Then, just as quickly, the shot would switch back to Luke in the driver’s seat. A quirky mistake that fans with a keen eye would notice!
Did Cathy date Tom Wopat or John Schneider?
Considering how many actors have fallen in love during filming, it’s no surprise that many have wondered what really went on behind the scenes of The Dukes of Hazzard. Daisy Duke often used her charming personality and sex appeal to influence male policemen or henchmen into going easier on other members of the Duke family. But was there any real love between her and the Duke boys?
”Let me say this — as much as those guys (Tom and John) were the most charming, sexiest friends and men on the planet and women all over just adored them — they were really like my brothers. As much as I appreciate them, there’s no way I would be, as you say, hooking up with them. Just look at your brother or whoever is really close to you and go ‘Can I do this?’ It’s a no,” Catherine told Fox News.
They are still a family
There’s no doubt that The Dukes of Hazzard made television history. Decades later, it still ranks among the most popular and beloved shows of the 1970s and ’80s. And according to John Schneider, the bond between the cast remains just as strong.
”We’re a family still, after all these years, which is very unusual,” Schneider shared in 2014. ”Shows have a tendency to end when they’re over. ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ has not ended for the fans, and it has not ended for the cast or the crew, and I’m very proud to be a part of that.”
Sadly, several beloved cast members from The Dukes of Hazzard have passed away over the years. Sorrell Booke, who played the unforgettable Boss Hogg, passed away in 1993. Waylon Jennings, the legendary voice behind The Balladeer, died in 2002. Denver Pyle, known as the wise and kindhearted Uncle Jesse, passed in 1997. And James Best, who brought Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane to life, died in 2015. Their legacy lives on through the show and the generations of fans who still love it today.
Will there be a reboot?
Catherine Bach recently opened up about the possibility of returning to her iconic role. When asked about the idea of a Dukes reboot, Catherine said, “Well, you know, shows are a mystical thing at best, because you never know what’s going to work and how things are going to click.”
The actress emphasized that a successful reboot is never guaranteed, and that timing and chemistry play a crucial role.
“There’s got to be a good writer,” she continued. “It can’t just be writing on an idea. You have to execute that idea. So, yeah, if everything comes together. Of course.” Her words reflected the unpredictability of the entertainment industry, while still leaving a glimmer of hope for fans eager to see Daisy Duke again.
Catherine didn’t completely rule out the idea, adding, “I’m still here, the guys are still here. It would be great, but I don’t know.” While it may not be in the immediate future, the prospect of the Duke boys and Daisy reuniting is still on the table—at least for now.
From unexpected bloopers to touching moments, The Dukes of Hazzard a reminder of why 80s TV still has that special magic. Feeling nostalgic? Share your favorite moments from the show with friends and relive the fun!

Theory Claims LA Fires Started To Cover Up Diddy’s Crimes And Protect His Famous Allies
There is a theory going around the internet that the LA wildfires were caused intentionally as a cover up for Diddy’s crimes, in order to protect his famous allies.
The fires have been burning for over a week now, destroying buildings, homes and taking 24 lives at the time of writing. The flames, which are still raging, have caused an odd reaction online with many suggesting they fires were started to cover up Diddy’s crimes.

Some online have made unfounded claims that the fires may have been caused to ‘cover up’ evidence in order to protect his ‘allies’. His LA home remains untouched by the fires. However, many celebs who also live in the ares have los their homes. Former government official Catherine Austin Fitts is amongst those who are spreading this conspiracy. Speaking on her podcast, she said: ‘In situations like [the L.A. fires], I look at patterns,’.‘I look at some of the communities involved. How many of the homeowners were on the P. Diddy list?’The list she referred to is believed to name any celeb that had been accused of attending Diddy’s “freak-off” parties.
