FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post and found it to be false.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the picture, we found many social media posts with the same claim. We also came across a comment on a tweet by Shayan Sardarizadeh — a BBC world journalist reporting on disinformation, conspiracy theories, cults and extremism.
Sardarizadeh commented with a Reddit link and informed the user that the bedroom picture was posted on Reddit last year and has no relation to Hale. The same picture had been posted on Reddit link platform a year ago, which confirms that it has nothing to do with the current shooting in Nashville.
We also came across another comment in the same tweet trail with a link to another tweet by an unverified user.
The tweet shows a before and after picture of the same room and it seems like the original publisher of the image was a user named @RedCharlotte_. She posted the images with the caption: ‘Before and after I still need to clean out my closet so I can actually organise the mostly folded pile of clothes but I’m mostly done. I have to clean my desk next’ on December 16, 2021.
The image on the left matches exactly with the viral image and the tweet proves that the image has been online since 2021.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral picture’s claim over the Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale is fake.
