Judy Ann Santos was used by this product without her permission
Soap opera queen Judy Ann Santos warned the public about a fake product endorsement.
It is normal for celebrities to endorse certain products or services. Many companies specifically hire a celebrity or popular personality to endorse what they offer to the public.
Celebrities can get multi-million peso deals just by being endorsers. However, with modern times and how technology works, some endorsements were fake and just used artificial intelligence to use the identity or name of celebrities.
There have been several celebrities who were victimized by fake endorsements. One of them was Judy Ann Santos, based on the article in ABS-CBN Entertainment.
Juday guested on a recent vlog on the YouTube channel of Kapamilya actress Jodi Sta Maria. The older actress revealed that there was an AI-generated image of her selling pots.
“Kayong nag-A-AI ng pagmumukha ko para makabenta kayo ng pots and pans, bad yun [at] hindi tama yun,” Juday said. She clarified that these were fake. Even the faces of her family members were used.
The actress stressed that this was a scam and emphasized that she is not selling any cookware brand, for now.
“Just to notify everyone, wala po akong binebentang pots and pans. Kasi naka AI ako, si Ryan, and the kids selling pots, a pressure cooker, and some pumpkin pan or something–– wala po. Wala po akong binebenta, it’s a scam. Hindi ako nag bebenta ng kahit na anong cookware, please do not believe these people,” the award-winning actress said.
Judy Ann Santos also reminded her fans that as long as it is not posted on her Instagram page or her official social media accounts, then this is fake.
She also stressed that she is not selling anything. The actress even joked that even her conscience is not for sale and that it is clean.
It is known to many fans that aside from her showbiz engagements, Juday has a restaurant business, Angrydobo, with her husband, Eat Bulaga host Ryan Agoncillo.
