Brazilian Woman Files Police Report After X’s Grok Generates Sexualized Edits of Her New Year’s Photo

Overview

• Julie Yukari reported to police in Rio de Janeiro that users prompted X’s Grok to turn her innocuous New Year’s photo into images showing her in bikinis and nude.
• She filed a complaint on January 2 at the 10th Police Station in Botafogo for the offense recorded as unauthorized disclosure of sexual intimacy.
• Yukari says X informed her it found no rules violation and was removing some prompts requesting the edits but not all of the resulting images.
• Some manipulated posts were later taken down after reports, as similar Grok-generated edits of women circulated widely on the platform.
• The case intensified scrutiny of X, with France publicly condemning the sexualized manipulations and Indian authorities seeking explanations from the company.
