Mexican influencer and amateur boxer Alana Flores has denied the authenticity of an explicit image circulating online, stating the photo was digitally manipulated using artificial intelligence and vowing to pursue legal action against those responsible for its distribution.
Flores, 24, who has amassed nearly 12 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, addressed the controversy in a video posted to social media. She said the image—widely shared on adult platforms—is a deepfake and insisted it does not depict her.
“A false image of me is being spread on social media. It was altered, either through artificial intelligence or by a person. It’s not me. They used my face, but it’s not real. It was never taken, and it never happened,” she said in a statement posted to Instagram.

Flores added that she has never produced or shared any sexually explicit content, nor does she have an OnlyFans account or similar platform presence. “I don’t have any photos or videos of a sexual nature,” she said. “This image was fabricated.”
The influencer said she is emotionally and physically affected by the situation, revealing she sought medical attention due to the stress. “Yesterday I had a hospital consultation because this is impacting my health, even physically. I’m questioning whether it’s worth it to continue with the football club, boxing, or being on social media,” she said.
Flores, who described herself as a “very sensitive person,” also expressed feeling overwhelmed by a wave of online abuse. “I feel helpless in an endless cycle of hate,” she added, referencing the volume of negative messages she has received since the photo began trending.
She further stated that she has identified the individual who initiated the spread of the image and intends to take legal action.

Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Flores has built a significant following since rising to fame in 2020. In addition to her online presence, she is active in sports.
