Overview
- Lopez posted a short AI-generated clip from a Dodgers outing on Sunday, Aug. 2, then removed it after users and journalists condemned the content.
- The 15-second video, labeled as made with X’s Grok Imagine, showed his niece eating multiple hot dogs and smearing mustard on her face while an AI voice of Lopez said, “I can’t take her anywhere.”
- Viewers widely called the clip creepy or sexualizing; copies and screenshots continued to circulate after the original post was deleted and X displayed an AI label on the clip.
- Neither Lopez nor his niece, identified in reporting as Kalia Wong, has explained the post, prompting public speculation about intent or whether the account was compromised.
- The episode highlights limits in current platform labels and moderation and raises practical questions about consent, creator judgment, and how easy-to-use AI video tools will be policed going forward.
