Jamie Lee Curtis is setting the record straight regarding a new interview video of herself that she claims has been completely fabricated.
In an urgent plea made to her fans on Monday, May 12, the Halloween actress shared a screenshot of a video that was made using AI, which depicts Curtis in an interview appearing to make comments that she never actually made.

Curtis, 67, said she initially refrained from posting about the fake video because she didn’t want “to bring attention to it,” but now she wants her fans to know the video is definitely not real.
“THIS IS FAKE. AI,” Curtis wrote in the fired-up Instagram post on Monday. “Just think about the threat of this, forgetting my ‘career’ but politicians or public servants saying things that they aren’t saying. It’s like the wild wild West.”

She continued, writing, “Very distressing and disappointing that with all the TECH and all the billions and trillions that are being made that there are no safeguards.”
The Oscar-winning actress didn’t share exactly what the AI-generated video made it look like she said, but fans who saw the original counterfeit post confirmed that something about it looked “fishy.”
AI is so scary!!! I don’t believe anything anymore!” one user wrote under Curtis’ post, while another person chimed in to call artificial intelligence “terrifying,” insisting it “has so much potential for harm.”
“AI is honestly a disaster 😢” someone else added.
