Scarlett Johansson has issued a fierce response to a viral AI-generated video that falsely depicts her and several other celebrities appearing to protest Kanye West. The deepfake clip, which has been widely circulated online, portrays an AI version of Johansson wearing a T-shirt featuring a raised middle finger and a Star of David, with West’s name printed below.
Johansson isn’t the only public figure caught in this fabricated narrative—the video also includes Mila Kunis, Jack Black, Mark Zuckerberg, Lenny Kravitz, Drake, Steven Spielberg, and Jerry Seinfeld, all seemingly participating in the same staged protest. It ends with an AI-generated Adam Sandler flipping off the camera as Hava Nagila plays in the background.
The misuse of AI to create false political statements and misleading imagery has raised serious ethical concerns, and Johansson’s swift condemnation underscores the growing dangers of AI deepfake technology in manipulating public perception.
