A debunked report, which said White got a booster shot for COVID-19 on December 28, was also shot down by Witjas.
“People are saying her death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier, but that is not true. She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized — that is not the life she lived,” he told the magazine.

I spoke to Betty’s assistant, who was with her when she passed, and she said the very last word out of her mouth was ‘Allen,'” ” Lawrence shared.
