Big Event Announces Ban On AI Videos That Misrepresent Guests & Fans After Fake AJ Lee Clip

The Big Event has banned AI videos that “misrepresent” guests and fans after a fake AJ Lee clip went viral. As reported, an AI video depicted Lee kissing a YouTuber during a photo op. The YouTuber made the video and posted it Twitter, which led to Lee calling it out. Lee replied to the user, saying, “This is inappropriate, and it is harassment. Please delete!”

The Big Event issued a statement on Facebook addressing the matter. The convention noted that they will ban any attendees using AI or the like to misrepresent fans or guests without appeal.

The full statement reads:

“As most [of] you have seen The Big Event has been making headlines for the past 48 hours for the wrong reasons. This isn’t a discussion regarding the positive or negative uses of AI, but if you use AI or any other type of manipulation to misrepresent the experience you had at the show that paints our guests or our fans in a negative or compromising way, you will be banned from all future events, one strike, no appeal.

“We want everyone who comes to have a memorable experience, a REAL memorable experience, and not create a false narrative that ruins future opportunities and moments for our fans. The celebrities and talent that take time out of their schedule do it because they appreciate the fans that made this all possible, so please, respect the talent, not only during the show, but outside of it as well.”

The original video has remained online despite Lee and others telling the person to take it down. The Big Event hosts a number of conventions across the Northeast. Their next takes place on March 26th in Brentwood, New York.
