Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok.

I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes.

This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable.

Jess Phillips will shortly be reading the names of UK women killed where men are the suspect in the year since International Women Day 2025.
For almost one in five of those women, their son has been charged with or found guilty of their killing.

‘I’m not bullying you - I’m being firm with you.’

Shelagh Fogarty doesn’t take kindly to caller Jonathan’s suggestion that the treatment of women in Iran and Afghanistan is ‘cultural expression’.

An 'epidemic' of violence: The women and girls killed by men last year https://t.co/k8xFeD21sW

[Claire Waxman OBE @voice4victims]

Having long called for this, I welcome today’s announcement.

Too many victims experience further harm in the justice system - facing disproportionate requests for personal data, delays & poor communication.

Independent legal advice can make a difference. https://t.co/Ycn8ufXBFP

Out of interest, what age did Elon order her as?

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

Following this outrageous case, I’ve signed this letter along with many other MPs asking the CEO of @TravelodgeUK for an urgent meeting.

Guardian editorial on the latest, hardhitting report from the @UKAntiSlavery commissioner, on exploitation linked to adult service websites (ie online sex worker/ trafficking victim adverts). Link follows:

Trudi Burgess was left paralysed after being violently attacked by her partner, Robert Easom, at their home on a Monday morning, after years of physical and emotional abuse.

'We're not surprised to see women’s unemployment in London rising at a far sharper rate than men’s,' says @PenelopeEA, head of Fawcett Society
'Fawcett has heard numerous examples of employers rolling back on previous commitments on equality & inclusion' https://t.co/HX1PEsR5XI

I didn't know what I would discover when I started to read the Epstein files. I'm not sure many women realize how far our world is run by a club of women-hating men

@Dan_Martin Thank you!

I wish there was a build-up like when the football is on #TheTraitors

The "national conversation" on SEND reform closed this week. The Govt should be pleased to know that most of its questions are answered in existing SEND law and the SEND Code of Practice. https://t.co/SJawwa2vNt

@tomhfh If you used those tools to create this image of a real woman and then shared it on socials without consent - you'd be in trouble.

These tools do not automatically share.

Grok allows users to make the image and share the image with millions instantly.

It is clearly different

Grok is now undressing photos of me as a child. This is a website where the owner says to post photos of your children. I really don’t care if people want to call me “scorned” this is objectively horrifying, illegal, and if it has happened to anybody else, DM me. I got time.
