Mendoza’s manager Rams David released an official statement, similarly denying the actress’ involvement in the video, and with a warning of legal action against perpetrators linking his talent to the so-called “scandal.”

All Access Artists, the talent management group, said the video “has been digitally manipulated using deepfake technology.”

“Ms. Mendoza is not involved in the said video and neither does she participate in the making of pornographic and other explicit materials.”

All Access Artists added that it “will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action against any person circulating the same.”
