Mario Lopez, the host of both Access Hollywood and the syndicated radio program On with Mario Lopez, has faced backlash for posting an AI-generated video of his niece, Kalia Wong, at a Los Angeles Dodgers game. The 15-second clip, which manipulates a real video of Lopez and Wong, was deemed "creepy" and "disturbing" by fans. Lopez has since deleted the video from both his X and Instagram accounts, but users have shared screenshots of Lopez's original post. The original post was not generated or modified by X's native agent Grok and was not modified in any way by Lopez.
