The fan who fabricated a romantic moment with AJ Lee has been banned.
The X user has posted an AI video of being kissed by AJ Lee at the Big Event NY Expo, something that never happened.
AJ Lee herself has asked that the video be take down replying with: “This is inappropriate and it is harassment. Please delete.”
Thus far, the user has refused to delete the video. The post is now tagged with a message reading: “This is an AI photo that AJ Lee has asked to be deleted.”
In response to the fan’s behaviour and refusal to remove the video, the Big Event NY Expo has banned the user from ever attending again.
“You are banned from any future shows,” replied the official account for the expo.
They later released a statement:
“As most [of] you have seen The Big Event has been making headlines for the past 48 hours for the wrong reasons. This isn’t a discussion regarding the positive or negative uses of AI, but if you use AI or any other type of manipulation to misrepresent the experience you had at the show that paints our guests or our fans in a negative or compromising way, you will be banned from all future events, one strike, no appeal. We want everyone who comes to have a memorable experience, a REAL memorable experience, and not create a false narrative that ruins future opportunities and moments for our fans. The celebrities and talent that take time out of their schedule do it because they appreciate the fans that made this all possible, so please, respect the talent, not only during the show, but outside of it as well.”
The decision has garnered positive responses from fans:
“Good he’s trying to ruin the experience for everyone!”
“LOVE this! Thank you for protecting the stars!”
“He needs to be banned from all WWE shows too! Both televised and no televised shows! PPVs and all!”
In response to being asked to remove the video, the user wrote: “You know I’m offically mentally disabled and get a disability check. Congratulation! You are now officially bullying a mental handicapped person with death threats.”
