A video of a reporter being interrupted and harassed by a man dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow is fake, reports say.

*User discretion is advised, as the footage includes minor use of offensive language.

The reporter in this shot is supposed to be Madison Brooks of "NBC Entertainment." However, the video is supposed to be shot in August and, as Breaking News points out, she was not with the network back then.

In fact, she was working for Fox News. In the viral clip, she is harassed by a “Pirates of the Caribbean” character and she curses at him in an effort to have him leave her alone.

As users have commented, the Jack Sparrow impersonator is actually very good, and Brooks' acting is not bad either.
