Overview
- López said she has never met Andrés Manuel López Obrador or Enrique Peña Nieto and rejected any romantic link to either former president.
- She explained that the claim came from a video of her that was digitally altered using artificial intelligence to fabricate a narrative.
- The falsehood circulated on social media for weeks and was echoed by some outlets, leading to public questions after her appearance at Premios Juventud in Panama.
- López urged responsible use of AI and asked not to be associated with López Obrador, noting his marriage to Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller.
- Coverage situates the case within a broader rise in manipulated content and points to moderation cutbacks at X and Meta that critics say reduced verification.
