'Worst Twerk Fail Ever' Fake: Girl on Fire was a Jimmy Kimmel Hoax

Unless you have been living under a rock this past week, (and that rock didn't have WiFi), then you couldn't have missed this epic video. Known around the world as the worst twerk ever, the video features the latest dance craze gone wrong. In the wake of Miley Cyrus' infamous VMA debacle, the video of a young women twerking her way through a glass table and catching fire spread over the Internet like...fire. It all seemed to good be to true, and it turns out it was. On Monday night, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel revealed himself to be the mastermind behind the epic hoax.

It was a nice thought wasn't it? The idea that twerkers everywhere were being punished for there crimes by a higher power. Maybe that's why no one saw through the hoax. We wanted it to be true.

Sadly, we learned last night that karma has no interest in punishing twerkers. Jimmy Kimmel revealed the cold, hard, truth--that he faked the epic video and that young girls everywhere were free to shake and grind there butts aggressively without fear of being set on fire.

Caitlin Heller, the star of the video, is in reality stuntwoman Daphne Avalon. Avalon went on Jimmy Kimmel Live under the guise of Heller on Monday night, where she and the host confessed.

The video was seen by over nine million people online and even reported on as fact by various news stations.
