Mia Goth complains to Instagram over viral AI-generated fake image; Meta removes account

What happened

An AI-generated selfie of actress Mia Goth wearing a "MY EX IS MY BIGGEST FAN" shirt — posted days after her October 6 divorce filing — went viral from the verified, million-follower fan account @miagoth_ and was reported as genuine by entertainment outlets.

Goth's complaint against Instagram

Goth's representative said her team filed multiple complaints over repeated "counterfeit, AI images" and called Instagram's prioritization of forged images over likeness protection "incomprehensible." Meta removed the account for impersonation.

Policy gap this exposes

Meta does not ban AI depictions of real people, and its AI-content labels do not cover still images — leaving likeness complaints to the impersonation/complaints process.
