"St Clair, who is the mother of Musk's 16-month-old son, Romulus, said she reported the images to Musk's X social media platform, which hosts Grok, after they began appearing last year and asked that they be removed. The platform replied that the images did not violate its policies, she said. Then it promised not to allow images of her to be used or altered without her consent."
"I have suffered and continue to suffer serious pain and mental distress as a result of xAI's role in creating and distributing these digitally altered images of me, St Clair said in a document attached to the lawsuit. I am humiliated and feel like this nightmare will never stop so long as Grok continues to generate these images of me, she said."
Ashley St Clair, mother of Elon Musk's son Romulus, filed a lawsuit alleging xAI's Grok chatbot allowed users to generate sexually exploitative deepfake images of her. St Clair said she reported the images to X after they appeared and asked they be removed; the platform replied they did not violate policies and later vowed to block her images. She alleges X retaliated by removing her premium subscription and verification while continuing to host degrading images. She says the deepfakes caused serious pain, humiliation, and ongoing mental distress. California Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding xAI stop creating and distributing Grok-generated nonconsensual sexualized imagery. xAI countersued St Clair in federal court.
