She's just been revealed as a hoax—not, as expected, a clever viral feature designed by big business. Apparently, a group of independent filmmakers are responsible for her video blogs. There’s an interesting reaction within a blog here.

While she might be a hoax, the revalation of that from today now looks like it was a hoax. The refrence to it has been removed from her wikipedia page. Appently it was just someone that posted to her website forum saying it was all a hoax... So don't close the book on this one just yet....

Wikipedia still says it was a hoax, revealed on September 6th.

Not when I load it.

It was there earlier today, but it's gone now.

Hmm, the version that was loading for me (on 2 different computers) up until I clicked your link had a "Revelation of Fakeness" section. According to the history, that version is 2 versions old. I'm not sure what clock the time stamps are keyed on, so I don't know the timing.

But anyway, the content from the "Revelation of Fakeness" section is still there, it's just been merged into the "Speculation" section

On September 8th 2006, people claiming to be the creators of Lonelygirl15 claimed it was a fake, on Lonelygirl15.com saying (in part):
the biggest mystery of Lonelygirl15 is "who is she?" We think this is an oversimplification. Lonelygirl15 is a reflection of everyone. She is no more real or fictitious than the portions of our personalities that we choose to show (or hide) when we interact with the people around us.
According to the LA Times, an IP tracker was placed on a myspace page to which the user lonelygirl15 was lured. According to this tracker the person using the LonelyGirl15 username did so from a server of the Creative Artists Agency, A Hollywood casting agency.
Further support to this notion lies in the apparent removal of Lonelygirl15's web page.

Myspace is the worst thing to hit the internet since goatse.cx (please don't go there)

There was (is) a story on her in today's LA Times

Yup that's what I saw today (it was on drudgereport). I just wanted to see if people had an opinion before being told it was a hoax.

The "revelation" was a post on her web site about it being a hoax. That has now been removed. The stuff in the speculation section is from the LA times article and I'm not sure I believe it. However, the end result is the same. It's a hoax.
