Meloni said that the fake image ‘improved’ her.
As the first female Prime Minister of Italy, conservative Giorgia Meloni battles all sorts of prejudices: from her being a woman to her being a right-winger.
One of the weapons used against her by unscrupulous trolls and enemies is deepfakes.
Today, Meloni denounced the circulation of a deepfake photo of her in bed, wearing lingerie.
The Prime Minister complained that these AI images are being used to attack her.
Associated Press reported:
“Meloni shared the photo in question on Facebook. She included with it an apparent post from someone named Roberto who apparently had himself shared it on social media with the commentary that Meloni should be ‘ashamed’ of herself.
Meloni warned against sharing such images on social media without verifying them.
[…] It wasn’t immediately clear if Meloni would report the incident to law enforcement, as she was urged to do by people commenting on her post. She acknowledged though that the photo manipulation ‘actually made me look a lot better’.”

Deepfakes are a dangerous tool, because they can deceive, manipulate, and strike anyone. I can defend myself. Many others cannot. For this reason, one rule should always apply: verify before believing, and believe before sharing. Because today it happens to me, tomorrow it can happen to anyone.”
This is not the first time deepfakes have been released against her, as we reported back in March 2024:
