Stevie Wonder Shuts Down Rumors He’s Not Really Blind: “You Know the Truth”
Legendary musician Stevie Wonder recently responded to the long-running conspiracy theory that he’s not actually blind, shutting down the speculation with a simple but pointed statement.
The Rumor Resurfaces
-
For decades, a fringe conspiracy theory has claimed that Stevie Wonder can see, citing moments where he appears to react to visual cues or move “too naturally” for someone blind since infancy.
-
The rumors gained traction again after a 2016 TMZ video showed him grabbing a phone that was tossed to him, sparking debate online.
Stevie’s Response
During a recent interview, when asked about the rumors, Wonder replied:
“People will say what they want, but you know the truth. I’ve been blind since birth. I don’t need to prove anything.”
He also joked:
“If I could see, I would’ve run from some of my fashion choices in the ’70s!”
Why the Theory Persists
-
Some skeptics point to his onstage movements, like dancing in sync or catching objects, but experts explain that decades of muscle memory and heightened spatial awareness make this possible.
-
Others cite his expressive facial reactions, but blind individuals can still convey emotions naturally.
Fan Reactions
-
Most fans dismiss the conspiracy, calling it disrespectful to doubt his disability.
-
Others joke: *”If Stevie was faking it, he deserves an Oscar for keeping it up for 70+ years.“*
Do you think the rumors are ridiculous, or is there any merit to them? 👀🎹 #StevieWonder #BlindOrNot
