US EditionWhite Influencer Speaks Out After Editing Face Onto Black Woman’s Body for Instagram Photo
Tatiana Elizabeth says Lauren Blake Boultier used her US Open image to suggest she attended the Miami Open, then deleted the post.
- On Wednesday, model Tatiana Elizabeth accused influencer Lauren Blake Boultier of editing her face onto Elizabeth's body in a social media post. Elizabeth identified the image as her own 2024 U.S. Open photo, falsely geotagged as the Miami Open.
- Tennis star Coco Gauff commented, "This court is not even in Miami," as followers identified the visual discrepancy. The post, which Boultier seemingly deleted, sparked backlash over her pattern of allegedly copying photos from other women.
- Blaming a third-party AI agency, Boultier issued an apology Wednesday, promising more oversight. She claimed it was "brought to my attention that an image posted utilized the work and likeness of a Black creator."
- Dismissing the apology as insincere, Elizabeth told TMZ the influencer was trying to "avoid blame." She noted Boultier unsent initial notes before sending a formal apology, which she felt lacked authenticity.
- Research by Wondercraft shows over 80% of creators now incorporate AI tools, with nearly 40% utilizing them throughout the entire creative process. This incident highlights growing concerns regarding fake content on social media platforms.
