Big Event posts update following AJ Lee AI controversy

WWE Superstar AJ Lee made her return to RAW earlier this week, costing Becky Lynch the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri. While it was an exciting moment, which should've led to a week of trying to figure out Lee's next move, the segment was sadly overshadowed thanks to a strange YouTube upload.

AJ Lee has unfortunately found herself a subject of debate online. The WWE Superstar recently appeared at The Big Event NY on November 15th, meeting fans and signing autographs. One fan used the experience to create an AI video of himself kissing Lee, leading to justified outrage throughout the week.

After banning the perpetrator, The Big Event made a statement regarding shows going forward. The convention is putting its foot down in an attempt to make sure nothing like this happens again.

"As most have 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. Thank You. BigEvent Staff."

AJ Lee asked for the removal of the controversial AI video

Fan Chris Horror posted an AI video of himself and WWE Superstar AJ Lee using a photo he got at The Big Event NY on November 15th. The video shows the fan kissing Lee in a, frankly, strange and disturbing attempt to show appreciation for the former Divas Champion.

"This is inappropriate and it is harassment. Please delete," stated AJ Lee"

Despite AJ Lee asking for the video to be removed, it's still up at the time of this writing. It doesn't look like the fan will be taking any action, as he's also set his profile picture to the photo he got of himself and Lee.
