Dolly Parton shut down viral rumors that she’s selling CBD gummies, posting a tongue‑in‑cheek Instagram caption that labeled herself a “cake, cookie and cornbread” kind of star.
Instagram denial and Snopes fact‑check
On February 1, the country legend shared a screenshot on Instagram that read, “Dolly Parton is not affiliated with, has not endorsed, and is not associated with any keto or CBD gummy product.” She added that she’s “more the cake, cookie, and cornbread type.”
Snopes investigated the claim after Facebook ads paired Parton’s face with a “dementia‑reversing” CBD gummy brand and confirmed the story was false, stating that the singer has no connection to the product.
Public reaction and past endorsements
Fans flooded the comment section, joking that a “Dolly CBD” line would sell out instantly and demanding “Dollyweed.”
While Parton has never promoted CBD gummies, she previously endorsed Duncan Hines cake mixes, citing her Southern upbringing and love for “authentic Mom and Pop” cooking.
Parton, who has turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice, remains known for her philanthropic stance and humorous, straightforward communication style.
