Bobbi Althoff, known for her successful podcast, has found herself at the center of a social media storm—but not for the reasons she expected.
Instead of celebrating her podcast accomplishments, Althoff has become the latest target of a troubling trend in online harassment: AI-generated deepfake porn.
The controversy unfolded when a graphic video clip surfaced on X/Twitter, depicting Althoff engaging in explicit content. The disturbing images quickly went viral, causing a wave of backlash and concern among her fanbase.
In response to the sexual content that was circulating online, Althoff used her social media accounts to correct the record. With disappointment and irritation, she addressed her followers, adamantly rejecting any role in the development of the graphic material.
“Hate to disappoint you all, but the reason I’m trending is 100% not me and definitely AI generated,” Althoff wrote in her Instagram story aimed at clarifying the situation.
