Rep Slams Ashley Tisdale HIV Rumor

June 7th, 2008

A representative for ‘High School Musical’ star Ashley Tisdale has dismissed online reports that she has been diagnosed as HIV positive, saying the story is "completely untrue."

Rumors spread online on Thursday (June 5) following a posting on the website Digg, which was subsequently removed, claiming that, "An inside source stated that Ashley may have contracted the virus last year when she underwent a rhinoplasty procedure."

The article also quoted a spokesman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles saying, “Ashley and her family are trying to come to terms with this horrible development. They only ask that you pray for Ashley’s health and to please respect their privacy as the family decides on the next course of action.”

Tisdale’s rep, Scott Appel, has angrily denied the report explaining, "The story is completely untrue."

Simi Singer from Cedars-Sinai adds that, "We did not release any statement regarding Ashley Tisdale."

    The inside word is that there may be some truth to this but those involved are keeping it hush because of legal issues and her marketability as a Disney star

    It is such a shame that this had to happen to Ashley. It’s obvious that they are trying to cover it up to protect her career. Maybe someday she’ll tell the truth. Don’t worry Ashley, your fans will always support you!

    Smells of coverup. This was the same hospital that gave the overdose to Dennis Quaids son.
