Instagram AI Influencers Are Defaming Celebrities with Sex Scandals

Instagram’s latest shock trend: AI-made “influencers” posting fake “How it started/How it’s going” bed pics with stars like LeBron, The Rock, and iShowSpeed, then funneling viewers to paid sites like Fanvue. These Reels rack up millions while skipping disclosure that they’re AI—violating Instagram’s rules and fueling a booming business in AI-generated adult content. Meta said nothing publicly as some posts were quietly removed, and the crowd is not impressed.

The comments lit up with mockery, moral panic, and meme energy. One user loved the Nicolás Maduro post because it felt like a parody of the whole genre—peak doomscroll absurdity. Another called it proof we should ditch big-brand platforms like Instagram and protect smaller communities. Cynics blamed the “trash news” celebrity cult for feeding the machine, while others raged that every AI headline is either a scam or something vile, with real-world harm brushed aside. And the spicy countertake? Worrying about defaming billionaires and megastars is the least of society’s problems, some argued. The drama splits cleanly: police it harder vs. the attention economy is the real villain, all wrapped in jokes, eye-rolls, and rage-clicks. It’s a circus—and Meta’s the ringmaster who won’t grab the broom.
