The said video was only a few minutes long, which shows a woman who shares an uncanny resemblance with Maine Mendoza.
Some netizens immediately jumped to conclusions and claim that it was Maine’s scandal, and the video immediately spread like wildfire on social media.
Maine addressed the controversy on Twitter. According to the host, she was deeply shocked when she saw the video. She also admitted that she shared an uncanny resemblance with the woman: “Wtf?? Sobrang kamukha ko kinilabutan ako pero hindi ako to.”
Meanwhile, Maine’s handler, Rams David of All Artist Access, released a statement addressing the controversy. He claimed that the video was edited using ‘deepfake’ technology.
David also stated that they will be filing cybercrime charges against people who will continue to share the explicit video.
“Ms. Mendoza is not involved in the said video and neither does she participate in the making of pornographic and other explicit materials. All Access Artists will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action against any person circulating the same.”
