They are asking for the public to become more discerning with whatever content comes up online. Still, the fans of the actress were outraged by the fake sex video as they pointed out that it will be damaging for the actress’ career.
Recently, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray was also involved in a malicious photo that circulated online. In the photo, the beauty queen was made to appear topless. However, it was also fake and Catriona proceeded to the National Bureau of Investigation’s Cybercrime division to file a formal complaint.
