First Look Review - "Skincare"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-08-22

The rapid rise of AI has focused much attention on the practice of creating "deepfake" nudes by digitally adding someone's (predominantly a woman's) face to the body of a porn star or nude model. One of the first cases to bring the threat of deepfakes to light came in 2014 when celebrity skincare specialist Dawn DaLuise was accused of plotting to kill professional rival Gabriel Suarez, who had opened a skincare clinic in the same commercial block as her own. DaLuise claimed that Suarez had attempted to destroy her life and business by flooding the internet with fake images of her face grafted onto pornographic pictures. DaLuise asked a former NFL player to murder Suarez, but was acquitted after spending 10 months in jail when no evidence was uncovered of anyone actually putting her plot in motion.
