For the past few months, posts on social media have claimed that country singer Dolly Parton was endorsing keto oils and CBD gummies.

Now, the 77-year-old has taken to to Instagram herself to let her followers know that she does not endorse those products nor is she associated with any keto or CBD product.

Parton is one of many celebrities who’ve had to speak out publicly after products or brands falsely used their names and images to sell CBD and or keto products. Keanu Reeves shut down similar claims recently, as did Reba McEntire.

Shutting down rumors isn’t taking up too much of Parton’s time. Over the weekend, Parton joined Keith Urban and Elton John to honor the late Olivia Newton-John at a memorial service in Melbourne.

“She’s one of your own. And as a country, you should be very proud and know that the whole world mourns with you,” Parton said at the service. “I had the honor of singing with her several times and I considered her a great friend, as well as a fellow entertainer. And Olivia, to quote one of your songs, ‘I Honestly Love You.’ Thank you for shining your light on us.”
