NEED TO KNOW
- Model Tatiana Elizabeth called out influencer Lauren Blake Boultier for using AI to superimpose her face over Elizabeth's in a photo
- "Pretending to be somewhere you weren't, in something you've never worn, as someone you're not... for social media. It's a little scary," Elizabeth wrote on her Instagram Stories
- Boultier later told TMZ she took "full responsibility" for the incident
After Boultier posted the now-deleted photo on Instagram, Elizabeth posted to Threads and her Instagram Stories to call out the alleged use of AI to put her face onto Elizabeth's body— and on a photo that Elizabeth first posted two years ago. Boultier, who is White, has over 1.6 million Instagram followers.
In the Monday, March 30, Threads post, Elizabeth shared a screenshot of Bouliter's photo next to her original, taken at the 2024 U.S. Open. In the original photo, Elizabeth, who is Black, wore a white tennis skirt, a white short-sleeved cropped t-shirt, along with a green-and-white striped cardigan tied around her shoulders, paired with a coordinating green and white Louis Vuitton purse.
Boultier's photo shows her in the exact same outfit, pose and lighting, along with the same background.
"Bar for bar," Elizabeth began Monday's Threads post. "The weirdest part about this is that it’s not even an AI influencer. This is a real person who used AI to put her head on my body. She geotagged MIAMI as if she’s at the Miami Open. When my photo was taken at the US open two years ago."

"Well this is..... peculiar...I was here too!!" Elizabeth continued on her Instagram Stories. "In this same exact outfit and the same watch, same bag, picture was taken at the same angle even..omg we even have the same tattoo!!!!!!?"

Elizabeth then re-shared the original photo on her Instagram Stories. "Pretending to be somewhere you weren't, in something you've never worn, as someone you're not... for social media. It's a little scary," Elizabeth concluded.
The influencer also shared a TikTok video about the situation, where she added, "And by no means am I trying to bash this girls into health is real, and I'm not a bully... I'm just, I'm a little perplexed."
"I just want to know what was the reason," Elizabeth continued. "Cause social media got to our heads that much that we are completely disregarding couth?"
"Tatiana hopes this situation raises awareness about how AI can blur reality, which can be unsettling. As of now she has not been in contact with the other party," a rep for Elizabeth tells PEOPLE.
"That shouldn’t have happened, and I take full responsibility," Boultier told TMZ Sports on Wednesday, April 1.
"This came from an A.I. content system my team uses to generate images at scale," Boultier told TMZ. "I did not see the original image or intentionally set out to copy anyone’s work, but that doesn't change the outcome."
"I understand this impacted another creator, especially when it comes to respecting original work, and I never want to contribute to that kind of frustration or harm within the creative community that I have been a part of for 10 years," Boultier added.
"I take full responsibility for what appears on my platforms," Boultier wrote in a Wednesday Instagram statement, in which she also said she spoke with Elizabeth privately to apologize.
"I will have more oversight with my agency to ensure my content is handled with the integirty and respect it deserves moving forward," Boultier continued. "I am deeply sorry for the hurt this has caused the original creator and the community at large."
Also on Wednesday, Elizabeth posted screenshots of two apologies she says Boultier sent her via Instagram DM on Threads, as well as the response she sent to Boultier.

- Two individuals in North Carolina were arrested on child abuse charges after six children were rescued from a "filthy" home, with one child being kept in a dog kennel.
A man and a woman in North Carolina were arrested on child abuse charges after six children were rescued from a "filthy" home, including one child who was kept in a dog kennel.
Lacy Douglas Hocutt Jr., 34, and Rachelleigh Marie Galasso, 33, were taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with abuse, neglect and other serious crimes, the Wake County Sheriff's Office said, according to WRAL.
The two suspects made their first court appearances on Thursday, when prosecutors said the alleged abuse was among the worst they had ever seen.
Prosecutors said six children, ranging in age from one to 15, were removed from the home in February, with each of them having serious health issues, WRAL reported.

Update: Teen found guilty on all counts of raping boy on Jennings County school bus
UPDATE: Teen found guilty on all counts of raping boy on Jennings County school bus
A verdict has been reached in the trial of a teen accused of raping a younger boy on a special needs school bus in Jennings County.
Landon Doty was found guilty on all 12 counts in the case.
According to 13News reporter Rich Nye, the jury deliberated for less than two hours before reaching a decision.
Doty, who was 15 years old at the time of the alleged crime, faces 11 felonies, including four counts of rape, for alleged sexual assaults on a non-verbal 7-year-old boy with autism that Landon sat next to on the Jennings County school bus last spring.
On April 16, 2025, the bus driver noticed in the mirror that the younger boy appeared to be sitting on Landon's lap. The bus driver stopped, and the bus monitor went to the back of the bus to investigate and separate the two boys.
"I could not determine what was going on," testified the bus monitor. "And I know he walks around with his hands in his sweatshirt all the time, but it almost felt like he was trying to hide himself. And I kind of even went, you know, a little back, and just couldn't determine what, if there was anything going on or not. I still don't know what to think about all that."
When he got off the bus later, Landon said he was bouncing the boy on his lap, just being silly. The alleged victim's mother testified that she did not notice any distress in her son after the incident.
After reviewing 300 hours of bus video, the prosecutor filed the charges last summer.
The key evidence in this trial is the bus video, and the jury saw that video Wednesday morning, April 1 to help them decide for themselves what was going on. The public was not allowed to watch the video though.
Landon took the witness stand Wednesday and denied any wrongdoing.
"The perfect victim," said Prosecutor Brian Belding in the trial Tuesday, March 31. "He could not tell anyone what Landon Doty had been doing to him. Landon Doty knew that and took advantage of him."
"We're not going to hide behind the term reasonable doubt necessarily, although that is the state's burden of proof. We believe that the evidence will show that there were no crimes committed. There were no attempts to commit crimes," said Bradlley Kage, Landon's attorney.
Ethel Doty, Landon's grandmother and guardian, said she has also seen the videos. Ethel said the videos show nothing of a sexual nature.
"He denies doing anything of a sexual nature to this boy ever. Ever. He says he didn't hurt ... at all, in any way, any manner, any form," Ethel said.
"He was made to take care of this child on a bus because the child would not sit still," Ethel said. "He ran around the bus. They thought he was going to get hurt, so they put him in the same seat with Landon because Landon's a bigger kid, and they thought that Landon could take care of him, keep him in his seat."
Jennings County is approximately 75 miles southeast of downtown Indianapolis.

Man charged in connection with two decades-old ‘Texas Killing Fields’ murders

Prosecutors have charged a man allegedly connected to some of the deaths linked to the “Texas Killing Fields,” an area near Houston where the bodies of dozens of women were found beginning in the 1970s, saying they have solved a piece of a tragic mystery that has inspired books, movies and a Netflix documentary.
A stretch of land along Interstate 45 southeast of Houston was dubbed the “Texas Killing Fields” after the bodies of more than 30 women were found there. Investigators believe multiple perpetrators may be responsible for the deaths of mainly girls and young women.
A Galveston grand jury has indicted 61-year-old James Dolphs Elmore Jr. for his alleged role in the deaths of 16-year-old Laura Miller and 30-year-old Audrey Cook, whose bodies were found in the infamous area in 1986, Galveston County District Attorney Kenneth Cusick said Wednesday.
Court and jail records did not list an attorney who could speak on behalf of Elmore, who was arrested Tuesday and is being held without bond in the Galveston County Jail.
Miller and Cook were two of four young women whose bodies were found between 1984 and 1991 in a rural field off a desolate dirt road in League City, located about 28 miles (45 kilometers) southeast of Houston. The other two women were 25-year-old Heidi Fye-Villareal and 34-year-old Donna Prudhomme.
Cusick said after being appointed as district attorney in October that he would to take a harder look at these cases.
“Due to the concerted efforts of the law enforcement agencies in this county, this 40-year cycle of violence by these defendants against women, we’re trying to make headway on it, and I think we made significant headway yesterday in getting a charge against Mr. Elmore and having him arrested,” he said.
Elmore has been charged with manslaughter and felony tampering with evidence in the death of Miller and with tampering with evidence in Cook’s killing.
Cusick said prosecutors had also presented evidence to a grand jury seeking indictments against Clyde Hedrick, who authorities allege was the person responsible for the deaths of the four women and had been Elmore’s longtime friend.
But the 72-year-old Hedrick died by suicide last month before the grand jury came back with a decision in his case, Cusick said.
Hedrick was convicted of manslaughter in 2014 in the death of Ellen Beason, a young woman whose body was found in 1985 after going missing the previous years. He was released in 2022 and was still on parole at the time of his death, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Relatives of the victims on Wednesday said they were relieved an arrest had been made but expressed frustration it had taken so long.

Half of sheriff’s office indicted on charges, including abuse of a corpse, authorities say
According to an affidavit, the sheriff’s office collected the remains in a paper grocery bag, which was left in an unsecured location, and some of the remains, including teeth, had been lost.
Two months passed before Schultz wrote a report, saying he left bones in a bag on his desk and went on another call. A coroner’s official told the Associated Press that he received the skull in an unlabeled paper bag from the sheriff’s office.
Officials said Undersheriff Cruz Soto was also indicted on two counts of failing to intervene and one count of third-degree assault stemming from his involvement in a case of unlawful use of force on a man who had suffered a mental health crisis.

Ford GT Crashes Shortly After Purchase in California — What Went Wrong?
A recently purchased Ford GT ended up wrecked in California, turning what should have been a routine drive into a serious crash in a matter of seconds.
A Rare Ford GT Taken Out Quickly
The incident happened near Winding Way and Manzanita Avenue in Carmichael, just outside Sacramento. Early footage from the scene shows the Ford GT with significant damage after losing control and crashing hard.This wasn’t just another performance car.
The modern Ford GT is a limited-production supercar with racing roots, built with lightweight materials and designed for high-speed performance. It’s not something most drivers ever experience, let alone own.
Which makes an accident like this stand out immediately.
Reportedly Just Purchased
Details from the scene suggest the car had recently been purchased from a dealership in the San Francisco area.That matters more than it might seem.
Cars like the Ford GT don’t drive like typical vehicles. The seating position is low, visibility is different, and the way the power comes on can catch drivers off guard. Even someone experienced with fast cars can need time to adjust.
When something goes wrong early, it’s usually not random.
Two People Taken to the Hospital
Both the driver and a passenger were transported to the hospital after the crash. According to updates shared by family, both are currently in stable condition.Crashes involving cars like this can escalate quickly due to the way they’re built and how they perform. The fact that both occupants survived and are stable points to a combination of quick response and circumstances that could have been much worse.
