Jameela Jamil has said she refuses to turn her experience of having deepfake pornography made of her ‘into a thing that I fear’.

The actress, 38, discovered last year fake pornographic videos of her face on someone else’s body had been made with artificial intelligence.

However, the Good Place star refuses to let the images hurt her as she believes that’s what the men who made them want.

Jameela discovered she had been deepfaked when a TV channel contacted her and let her know as they were doing a documentary on the subject.

Speaking to Glamour UK, she said: ‘It [the video] is fake. And I find it so deeply cringe of men to do this. I refuse to turn it into a thing that I fear, which is what they want. The men who are making these videos are getting off on the fact we’re upset.
