During a recent conversation on The Interview podcast for The New York Times, Jenna Ortega shared that receiving sexually explicit deepfakes of herself led her to shut down her Twitter account, now known as X.
“I hate AI,” she said. “Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It’s terrifying. It’s corrupt. It’s wrong.” In addition to receiving AI-generated pornographic images, the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star said her first DM “that I ever opened myself when I was 12 was an unsolicited photo of a man’s genitals, and that was just the beginning of what was to come.
” Ortega further continued that the photos that made her feel uncomfortable, were often inescapable on the platform. “I couldn’t say anything without seeing something like that. So one day I just woke up, and I thought, Oh, I don’t need this anymore. So I dropped it.” Now 21, Ortega also shared that one of the ways she navigates life in the spotlight, and inevitably being an online presence, is by spending time offline and outdoors, and by being less judgmental of herself.
