Melissa Ricks, a Filipina actress known for her roles in various ABS-CBN dramas, has expressed deep concern and fear after discovering an AI-edited video of herself circulating on social media.

The disturbing video included the line, "Panoorin ang kwento ni Melissa Ricks. Dito rin pwedeng magsimula ang bagong yugto ng buhay mo," prompting Melissa to respond publicly on Instagram.

"I am NOT the one SPEAKING, they edited my mouth and put my voice on it? This is scary... Why is this even allowed? False information, and stealing all my content to SELL their product," she said.

The actress went on to describe the video as horrible, especially because it also involved her husband, Michael Macatangay, "This is horrible. Dinamay pa asawa ko. Kawawa naman maloloko... Please help me repost this. I don't know how, but this is unacceptable," she added.

The post quickly garnered attention, with fellow celebrities expressing their concern as well.

Joross Gamboa reacted with, "Grabe!" to which Melissa replied, "Kaka-comment ko lang kay Michael V nung isang araw... ako naman now. Katakot 'no?" Other stars like Ara Mina, Vina Morales, and Crisha Uy also showed their concern over Melissa's fake and AI-edited video.
