Influencer Apologises After Photoshopping An Image Of Her Face Onto A Black Model’s Body
An influencer with over 1.6 million followers has apologised after being accused of stealing a black model’s picture and superimposing her own face onto it.
Lauren Blake Boultier, 30, blamed an AI content agency that brainlessly stuck her face on the body of black model Tatiana Elizabeth.
Was she even at that tennis game? I doubt it!
Tatiana Elizabeth, who has a fraction of the followers that Boultier has, addressed the drama on IG, saying:
“The weirdest part about this is that it’s not even an AI influencer. This is a real person who used AI to put her head on my body.
“She geotagged MIAMI as if she’s at the Miami Open. When my photo was taken at the US Open two years ago.”
Boultier finally responded to the awkward situation with her own statement, and claimed she had nothing to do with it whatsoever:
“I want to address a recent post created by a third-party Al content agency I’ve been working with.
“It was brought to my attention that an image posted utilised the work and likeness of a Black creator in a way that is entirely inconsistent with my values. I take full responsibility for what appears on my platforms.
“The post was removed and I have spoken with the creator privately to apologise. I will have more oversight with my agency to ensure my content is handled with the integrity and respect it deserves moving forward.
“I am deeply sorry for the hurt this has caused the original creator and the community at large. Thank you to those that have spoken up. I am listening and I am committed to doing better.”
Tatiana Elizabeth isn’t buying it, telling TMZ: “[She is] saying what she thinks she needs to say in order to move past this.”
Probably right tbh. After all, the post was made on Boultier’s Instagram account. There’s no way this AI agency also handles her social media, is there? Besides, how ridiculous is it that she’s a real human being putting up AI photos? She’s trying to act like she was somewhere she wasn’t by superimposing her face onto someone else’s body. I mean, we all know the world of social media is fake as fvck, but that’s just next level.
Usually we’d round this up with some photos from Boultier’s IG, but I think we should do Tatiana Elizabeth a solid instead. After all – at least we know these photos are real:
