Firstly this TikTok claims that Beyonce and Chrissy Teigan visited Epstein's island. The source TikTok already sends up a red flag about whether this source is legitimate or not. The TikTok user who posted this seems to be just a random person from somewhere in the world who would most likely not have a list of everyone who visited. Another thing that makes it obvious this isn't a good source is that the information was published in a message group chat. The headline does correlate with the video so it is not trying to trick you about what the video is claiming, but the information is from a. completely unreliable source. According to a list provided by The United States District Court neither of these two women are on the list.

Hello! You did a great job with this fact-check. I agree that TikTok is not a legitimate source especially if the account isn't verified or from the social media account of a news source like ABC, CBS, BBC, etc. I also appreciate that you included a link to the legal court document. This proves that your fact-check has legitimate evidence. I would only add a link to other news sources such as the one I am providing below from CBS News. Having more than one source is very helpful and the court document is lengthy. CBS is a short and reliable source for people to read!

I like how the document you provided from The United States District Court lists individuals associated with Epstein, and neither Beyoncé nor Chrissy Teigen are on that list. This suggests that the claim in the TikTok video is likely false.

I investigated the claim that Beyoncé and Chrissy Teigen visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island. The image circulating on social media showed a list claiming they were on Epstein’s flight logs, but multiple fact-checking sources confirm this list is fake and does not match official records. LeadStories explains that the public flight logs dont include Beyoncé or Teigen, and their names were added to a fabricated list shared online. Additionally, Chrissy Teigen has personally denied ever meeting Epstein or visiting his island. This demonstrates how misinformation can spread quickly through viral posts, even when there is no credible evidence.

This claim could be false and seems to be fake news. This claims that Chrissy Teigan and Beyonce visited Epstein's island. TikTok is not a reliable news source to trust, and the user who posted it is also not a journalist or news reporter. The video is also just showing an imessage groupchat with no further info of who said it.  When I search up the headline, mostly find fake news sites and false information. The source provides information about false claims about Chrissy Teigen.
