Another deepfake video of singer Kelly Clarkson has been used to sell weight-loss products.
An Oct. 10 Facebook video shows what appears to be Clarkson saying, “Ladies, I honestly didn’t expect my weight loss to generate so many questions. My direct messages on Instagram are overflowing.”
The clip has been altered from a Sep. 22 video on Clarkson’s official Instagram page, in which she promoted her new album, not diet gummies.
This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)
The Facebook video links to an inauthentic sculptedline.com webpage. The page is made to look like a Jan. 16 Facebook post from Clarkson’s page advertising keto gummies from the brand Tropiketo. Clarkson’s official Facebook page has no such post endorsing weight-loss products.
Melissa Kates, Clarkson’s publicist, said Clarkson is not a spokesperson for Tropiketo or any other weight loss products or programs.
PolitiFact previously fact-checked similar deepfake videos of Clarkson appearing to sell diet pills. We rate this video purporting to show Clarkson selling keto gummies False.
