Good news, Ser Jorahs of the world: Your beloved Khaleesi isn't going anywhere. Game of Thrones fans started freaking out late last week over rumors that Emilia Clarke would not be returning to the show next season, but HBO has issued a complete denial on the matter.

The hysteria seemed to pick up speed on Saturday, hopelessly locking dozens of caps across Twitter:

"Absolutely untrue," said HBO spokesperson Mara Mikialian when asked by Gawker about the supposed departure. "She's absolutely back for Season 5."

The apparent source of the rumor was fake news generator Sunday Times Daily, which lets lovers of bad jokes write their own poorly-edited hoax articles. As of Wednesday, the site's story about Clarke had been read over 200,000 times.

Yet another newspaper gets the facts wrong and tells everyone something that isnt true and basically freaks everyone out. Just more proof that internet news like Gawker and the Huffington Post is becoming more factual and more relevant to more people every day and the trend is getting even more.

Did you actually read the article? It's a joke news website. They put "Huffington Post" into the "link" so that you think it's coming from a more legitimate site. I've seen it also include "New York Times" as the link.

Good riddance. He is a terrible actress and now refuses to do nudity because she think she is to big of a star. Can't wait for her new Terminator movie to flop hard.

Fred Fuchs Captain Midnight 07/02/14 02:32PM

She does nudity all the time on stage. And she will still do it on GoT. Stop reading the rumors.

Captain Midnight Fred Fuchs 07/02/14 03:58PM

It is fact. She has refused to do nudity and has a rider in her GOT contract.

Fred Fuchs Captain Midnight 07/02/14 05:23PM

Well, the nudity she did after her contact was signed seems to contradict that.

Her latest contract says no nudity, contracts are renewed with updated terms regularly. This information is available by way of some very basic internet research.

They probably should have just killed her off; her storyline is tired and if she were in a character in Westeros, she would have been killed a long time ago with all of the foolish mistakes she makes, and magically gets out of by luck.

But I love watching her screw up. Her arc has slowly become U.S. Foreign Policy in a Nutshell.

You're going to hate Season 5. Her storyline in some ways is just getting started.

I won't mind it, but here's what Thundercles had to say in a forum back in September of 2010: "Obviously so far Joffrey has been the most unlikable, but god damn I can't stand this self entitled woman shouting about her dragons. She has done literally nothing in the show except survive a night in a campfire and birth some dragons, which she can't even keep track of. Every other line is her lecturing someone else about her birthright to the entire world. Are you kidding me?

She lives in some fantasy land where she thinks the whole world is just waiting to bow down to her foot long iguanas and her 17 soldiers. Get her out of here."

I can't say I disagree with Thundercles.

Thats kinda the point... the woman has NO FUCKING CLUE which is why when her eventual downfall happens, and everyone knows its going to happen, its going to be all the more painful because shes a character with high ideals and ethics who is also mindblowingly naive and clueless to the real world.

I knew it wasn't true the moment I saw it. No way the pervs at HBO would kick off arguably the best pair of tits on GoT. Tits are at least 63% percent of the game of thrones experience.

rraattbbooyyy DoctorDick 07/02/14 12:30PM

Third best pair. It goes Van Houten then Dormer, then Clarke.

dgstan DoctorDick 07/02/14 12:51PM

Yeah, but you won't be seeing those tits anymore. She's got a no-nudity clause in her contract now. And as far as tits go, I'm leaning toward Nathalie Emmanuel.

DoctorDick dgstan 07/02/14 12:54PM

No nude calisy? Say it aint soooooo

Captain Midnight DoctorDick 07/02/14 02:19PM

It is true. Time to kill her off. She thinks she is the star of this show or something.
