Fact Check: 2018 Image of Actress Katie Holmes Goes Viral with False Claims

Date:

An image of a woman standing in front of a group of men is being shared on social media, claiming that it dates back to 1955 and shows an Italian singer who tried to sell her undergarment to a crowd to teach them an important lesson.

The post reads: 1955 সালে ইতালির বিখ্যাত গায়িকা জুলিয়া মার্কিন” শহরের এক মোড়ে দাঁড়িয়ে নিজের শরীর থেকে “ব্রা” খুলে বলেন এটা নিলাম করতে চাইছি,, বলুন কতো টাকা দেবেন ? উপস্থিত জনগণ ব্রা কেনার জন্য মরিয়া হয়ে ওঠে। নিলামে 3000 ডলার পর্যন্ত দাম ওঠে। গায়িকা অট্টহাসিতে ফেটে পড়েন।। তিনি বলেন তোমরা অত্যন্ত বোকা মানুষ। যৌন সম্পর্ক স্থাপন করতে পারবে না, এটা জেনেও আমার ব্রা কেনার জন্য 3 হাজার ডলার খরচ করতে চাইছো? অথচ, কোনো দরিদ্র অভুক্ত মানুষ সামান্য খাদ্য চাইলে, তাকে 1 ডলার ও দিতে চাইবে না। তোমাদের মনমানসিকতা দেখে আমি অত্যন্ত লজ্জিত,, দুঃখিত।। হুম এটাই কিন্তু বর্তমান পরিস্থিতি, কেউ দু মুঠো না খেতে পেরে ও অবুক্ত আবার কেউ কোন খাতে খরচ করবে সেটাই খুঁজে পায়না। (English Translation: Italy’s famous singer in 1955, Julia Markin, standing at an intersection in the city, took off her ‘bra’ and said: “I want to auction it, tell me how much will you pay?” The people present there became desperate to buy the bra. Auctions fetch up to $3,000. The singer burst into laughter. She said: “you are very stupid people. You want to spend three thousand dollars on this? However, if a poor hungry person wants a little food, you don’t want to pay him even $1. I am ashamed of your mentality.” This is the current situation, some can’t afford to eat two handfuls and are clueless, and some don’t know where to spend it.)

Here’s the link to the above post.

FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be false.

Doing a simple Reverse Image Search, we found an Instagram post by photographer Zoey Grossman, who posted the same picture on December

Also, an article by Harper’s Bazaar, dated November 20, 2018, features an image with a caption: “Katie Holmes pays homage to the demonstrator’s bravado. ZOEY GROSSMAN.”

The article also had the original image which was re-enacted by Katie Holmes. “A protester outside a San Francisco department store, 1969. BETTMANN/GETTY IMAGES,” the caption of the original image read. 

When we checked the veracity of the claim, we did not find any credible information about any Italian singer by the name of Julia Markin.

Hence, from the above information, it is clear that the viral image is being shared with a false claim.
