All that AI mess has got us doing all kinds of crazy things,\u201d McEntire, 70, shared via Instagram<\/span><\/a> on Thursday, October 9. \u201cYou\u2019re out there dying. I\u2019m out here having a baby. Well both of us know you\u2019re too young and I\u2019m too old for any of that kind of nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n In her latest Instagram video, The Voice<\/i><\/span><\/a> coach showcased an AI-generated photo that appeared to show McEntire at the 9 to 5<\/i> star’s alleged deathbed.<\/p>\n Another AI-created image showed McEntire holding a sonogram with fianc\u00e9e Rex Linn<\/strong>. Spoiler: Both are not real or accurate.<\/p>\n Dolly Parton\u2019s Sister Clarifies Comments Asking Fans to \u2018Pray\u2019 for Her: \u2018Didn\u2019t Mean to Scare Anyone\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n While McEntire tried to poke fun at the \u201ccrazy\u201d headlines, she also wanted to express her support for her longtime friend after she experienced a health scare.<\/p>\n \u201cYou better know I\u2019m praying for you,\u201d McEntire added. \u201cI love you with all my heart, and I can\u2019t wait to see you soon, love you.\u201d<\/p>\n After sparking health concerns, Parton, 79, reassured her fans that she is feeling good<\/span><\/a> in a Wednesday, October 8, social media video, which she made in between filming commercials for the Grand Ole Opry.<\/p>\n \u201cBack when my husband, Carl, was very sick, that was for a long time, and then when he passed I didn\u2019t take care of myself, so I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of,\u201d she explained<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhen I got around to it, the doctor said we need to take care of this, we need to take care of that. Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home and closer to Vanderbilt [University Medical Center] where I\u2019m kind of having a few treatments here and there. But I wanted you to know that I\u2019m not dying.\u201d (Parton\u2019s husband, Carl Dean<\/strong>, died in March<\/span><\/a> at the age of 82.)<\/p>\n As for that fake photo of herself and McEntire circulating online, Parton had to set the record straight that it\u2019s not real by any means.<\/p>\n \u201cDid you see that AI picture of Reba and me? Ooh, Lordy. I mean, they had Reba at my deathbed. And we both looked like we needed to be buried,\u201d she shared. \u201cBut I thought, \u2018Oh, my Lord, if I was really dying, I don\u2019t think Reba would be the one at my deathbed.\u2019 She might come visit me earlier, but anyway. \u2026. I don\u2019t think God is through with me and I ain\u2019t done working. So I love you for caring, and keep praying for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Dolly\u2019s sister Freida Parton<\/strong> made headlines when she shared via Facebook that she was \u201cup all night praying\u201d<\/span><\/a> for the \u201cJolene\u201d singer.<\/p>\n Dolly\u2019s manager, Olly Rowland<\/strong>, tried to assure fans<\/span><\/a> on Tuesday, October 6, that Dolly is in good health.<\/p>\n
