OnlyFans Model Shocked After Finding Her Pictures With AI-Swapped Faces on Reddit

OnlyFans Model Shocked After Finding Her Pictures With AI-Swapped Faces on Reddit

Yahoo16-05-2025

An OnlyFans creator is speaking out after discovering that her photos were stolen by someone who used deepfake tech to give her a completely new face — and posted the deepfaked images all over Reddit.
As 25-year-old, UK-based OnlyFans creator Bunni told Mashable, image theft is a common occurrence in her field. Usually, though, catfishers would steal and share Bunni's image without alterations.
In this case, the grift was sneakier. With the help of deepfake tools, a scammer crafted an entirely new persona named "Sofía," an alleged 19-year-old in Spain who had Bunni's body — but an AI-generated face.
It was "a completely different way of doing it that I've not had happen to me before," Bunni, who posted a video about the theft on Instagram back in February, told Mashable. "It was just, like, really weird."
It's only the latest instance of a baffling trend, with "virtual influencers" pasting fake faces onto the bodies of real models and sex workers to sell bogus subscriptions and swindle netizens.
Using the fake Sofía persona, the scammer flooded forums across Reddit with fake images and color commentary. Sometimes, the posts were mundane; "Sofía" asked for outfit advice and, per Mashable, even shared photos of pets. But Sofía also posted images to r/PunkGirls, a pornographic subreddit.
Sofía never shared a link to another OnlyFans page, though Bunni suspects that the scammer might have been looking to chat with targets via direct messages, where they might have been passing around an OnlyFans link or requesting cash. And though Bunni was able to get the imposter kicked off of Reddit after reaching out directly to moderators, her story emphasizes how easy it is for catfishers to combine AI with stolen content to easily make and distribute convincing fakes.
"I can't imagine I'm the first, and I'm definitely not the last, because this whole AI thing is kind of blowing out of proportion," Bunni told Mashable. "So I can't imagine it's going to slow down."
As Mashable notes, Bunni was somewhat of a perfect target: she has fans, but she's not famous enough to trigger immediate or widespread recognition. And for a creator like Bunni, pursuing legal action might not be a feasible or even worthwhile option. It's expensive, and right now, the law itself is still catching up.
"I don't feel like it's really worth it," Bunni told Mashable. "The amount you pay for legal action is just ridiculous, and you probably wouldn't really get anywhere anyway, to be honest."
Reddit, for its part, didn't respond to Mashable's request for comment.

‘Warning': Uni to pay back 5k staff $8m

Griffith University has signed a deal committing to repay underpaid staff more than $8m, becoming the sixth university to do so since 2022. Since 2015, the university underpaid 5457 staff across all of its six campuses, including academics, support and fitness workers – one who was underpaid as much as $92,400. It has signed an enforceable undertaking with the Fair Work Ombudsman, meaning it will be required to repay $8.34m including interest and superannuation. It is the sixth university to enter such a deal with Fair Work following The University of Melbourne, which last year agreed to pay back a mammoth $72m after a decade of wage theft. Since 2022, it has been a Fair Work priority to crack down on systemic underpayments in the university sector, with Latrobe University, The University of Sydney, the University of Technology Sydney, the University of Newcastle and Charles Sturt University all signing similar agreements. Fair Work Ombudsman Anna Booth commended Griffith University for self-reporting its breaches and its co-operation with the ombudsman's investigation. 'The matter serves as a warning of the significant long-running problems that can result from an employer failing to have appropriate checks and balances to ensure workplace compliance,' said Ms Booth. 'We expect universities to meet their legal obligations under their own enterprise agreements and underlying awards.' Griffith's failed to pay staff for activities including academic tutorials, subject co-ordination, and proper research assistant rates. Fitness employees were not paid split shift or meal allowances and progression between pay bands had been incorrectly paid. While the underpaid staff were located across all of the university's campuses, the majority were Brisbane-based. The cause of the issue was chalked up to insufficient training and data collection, non-existent payroll and data review processes, a lack of automation, and deficiencies in payroll systems. Under the agreement the university will also establish a new internal body to better consult between management, employees and the education union. 'Improving universities' workplace compliance is a priority for the Fair Work Ombudsman,' Ms Booth said. 'We look forward to working with the leadership teams at universities nationally to assist them to do the sustained, smart work required to ensure full compliance with workplace laws.'

Justin Bieber Shares Post Allegedly Telling Fan to ‘Worry About Yourself' After Expressing Concern

Justin Bieber is making it clear he doesn't want anyone worrying about him amid growing concerns from fans about his well-being. On Tuesday, June 10, the two-time Grammy Award winner, 31, reposted an Instagram Reel from a fan account on his Story. The Reel featured an alleged comment he left under a now-deleted post by @todayyearsold. The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user wrote, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly then commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' Fans had mixed reactions to Bieber's alleged remark and discussed it in the comment section, with some people seeing the situation as humorous. 'I love Justin so much😂😂😂😂 so unserious,' one fan gushed. A second fan added, 'This is why I love him since 2009. He is always funny.' 'Leave Justin alone he said he's FINE' a third fan declared. However, others thought Justin's comment further signals that he is struggling with his mental health. One user wrote, 'Actually love him so much, but he definitely needs help.' 'I find this all pretty sad,' a second user commented. 'Bro is totally lost, [it] is sad that people [are] finding [this] funny still,' a third user stated.. Justin's alleged comment comes amid a posting spree on the app. On Sunday, June 8, he shared two black-and-white selfies and wrote that he was 'tired of transactional relationships' in his caption. 'If I have to do something to be loved. That's not love,' he added. Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, also posted on Instagram recently, sharing a summer-themed photo dump with solo shots of herself over the weekend. The Rhode founder, 28, captioned her post, 'lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long. 👍🍋🍸.' However, eagle-eyed fans noticed the model later removed the part about 'therapy,' changing her caption to 'lemon drop martinis all summer long 👍🍋🍸.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that the 'One Less Lonely Girl' hitmaker was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

Justin Bieber Snuggles Son Jack Blues in Rare New Photo Amid Fears For His Well-Being

Justin Bieber is sharing a peek into life with his little one. On Wednesday, June 11, the pop star, 31, posted an Instagram Carousel, which included a snap of him holding his 9-month-old son, Jack Blues, whom he shares with his wife, Hailey Bieber. In the photo, the two-time Grammy Award winner cuddles Jack, who's wearing dinosaur pajamas, close in his arms and leans his head on him. The 'Peaches' hitmaker posted another photo with the infant on Tuesday, June 10, where Jack's little hand can be seen resting on his dad's leg. Fans took to the comment section to gush over Justin and Jack's father-son bond. 'THE SECOND PIC 🥹 MY HEART,' one fan wrote in all caps. Another fan commented, 'Jack has the best daddy and mommy in the world! 🥹🤭💙' 'Jack with Mommy & Daddy Hits really Different,' a third fan posted. 'Literally can't tell this in Words ✨ 💗 🤌🏻 ❤️ 🥺 🫶🏻 ……' The sweet pictures come amid Justin's Instagram posting spree over the last week, as fans continue to express concern for his well-being. On Tuesday, he reposted a Reel on his Story that featured an alleged comment he left under a now-deleted post by @todayyearsold. The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user added, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' He also made a cryptic post earlier in the week, writing he was 'tired of transactional relationships.' Last month, Hailey, 28, appeared on the cover of Vogue and discussed her family in an interview with the outlet. 'It's been my biggest teacher so far,' she said about motherhood. 'The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' The Rhode founder made it clear that the gossip about her marriage is 'not real.' 'I have a real life,' she told the publication. 'My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son and my friends and I have people that know me and love me and I love them.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that he was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'
