‘Baylen Out Loud’
Bechnir Dupree’s Not Missing, Mom Says …
Online Flyer is a Fake!!!
Published
Bechnir Dupree of “Baylen Out Loud” fame is not missing despite a viral social media rumor claiming otherwise … TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal … a digital flyer is going around which claims the 10-year-old has been missing since Saturday and lists a phone number at the bottom for people with information to call.
Well, we reached out to the Dupree family … and, Baylen and Bechnir’s mom, Julie, tells us Bechnir’s safe and sound at home. The post is a fake and not associated with the family.
Further inspection of the post shows another glaring tell that this ain’t real … the phone number at the bottom which is supposed to be for the “Virginia Police Department” connects to a police department in Washington state instead. The Dupree family lives in a small West Virignia town.
Bechnir’s appeared in multiple episodes of “Baylen Out Loud” — a show which chronicles his sister’s life as she traverse’s life with Tourette’s Syndrome. In one memorable ep, Baylen and her fiancé Colin Dooley hosted Bechnir at their house for a sleepover … during which Bechnir talked to Baylen about his anxiety.
Baylen’s life might be out loud, but no need to shout about Bechnir’s whereabouts from the rooftops … because he’s doing just fine.
