Rochelle Richardson of Diamond and Silk is not playing about her sister and the speculation surrounding her death.
According to Newsweek, she took to Twitter to vent her frustration at ongoing rumors that claim her sister, Lynette Hardaway, died of COVID-19.
The death of Hardaway, also known as “Diamond” of the conservative political duo, was announced on Monday evening.
The tweet by the duo’s Twitter page read: “The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity!”
“Please respect the privacy of Diamond’s family! Memorial Ceremony TBA. Contributions towards Preserving Diamond’s Legacy are only being accepted at the following link.”
A cause of death was not confirmed by Hardaway’s family or the group page.
Despite this, some social media users began to speculate and suggested she was hospitalized and died with, and because of, a coronavirus infection.
Many of these claims were made on the basis of a report from website publication Blavity that said she had been hospitalized in November. The article now appears to be unavailable and can’t be checked or verified.

Richardson has now called out some of these social media users and demanded they move their posts, and demand proof they know she died of coronavirus.
Tweeting on Wednesday, she replied to Marc Lamont Hill, a Temple University Professor, who said the pair were fired by Fox News for their COVID-19 stance.
The Diamond and Silk page said: “I will NOT allow you or any other MOFO the opportunity to disparage, slander, and lie on my sister and I.
I will NOT allow you or any other MOFO the opportunity to disparage, slander & lie on my sister & I.
Where’s your proof that my sister was ever hospitalized due to Covid and that we were fired from Fox?
Investigate Before You Celebrate!
You have until 12 noon today to retract. https://t.co/6gqALyuIvQ

“Investigate before you celebrate. You have until 12 noon today to retract.”
Bishop Talbert Swan, a pastor, and activist, also made a similar claim that Hardaway had died as a result of coronavirus.
The page tweeted: “Well it looks like we have us another lying MOFO who calls himself a Bishop but acts more like a B**** A$$.
Well it looks like we have us another lying MOFO who calls himself a Bishop but acts more like a B!tch A$$.
Where’s your proof that my sister died from contracting COVID-19?
No Proof plus No Truth equates to a Lawsuit.
You have until 12 midnight tonight to retract. https://t.co/XuM9eAEaDM

Prior to the Richardson’s tweets dismissing the rumours, some people had already suggested the theory she had been hospitalized with COVID-19 and died as a result, a theory that has yet to be proven.
She can’t. The Discovery phase would prove he told the truth. This comment section of this thread has already found all the places she herself declared exactly what he said.
