Whoopi Goldberg Warns of Fake AI Ad Using Her Image for Weight Loss Drug

The actress and talk show host denounced an Instagram ad that misused her likeness to promote unapproved products.

Whoopi Goldberg alerted viewers of a fraudulent Instagram ad that used AI to mimic her promoting a weight-loss drug without her consent.
The ad reportedly manipulated footage from a CBS Sunday Morning appearance to create an AI-generated version of Goldberg endorsing the product.
Goldberg clarified that her weight loss was achieved using Mounjaro, a medication she has openly discussed previously, and not the drug in the ad.
She emphasized that she never endorses products unless explicitly stating, 'Hey, it’s me, Whoopi,' and urged viewers to disregard the ad.
Goldberg criticized the misuse of AI technology, calling it deceptive and warning of its potential to spread misinformation.
