Logan Paul has made serious allegations against an OnlyFans creator, claiming that she promoted a fake AI-generated image that hindered his Pokémon card auction. The video titled “She Lied And Cost Me $10,200,000,” published on January 21, summarized the controversy surrounding the ultra-rare Illustrator Pokémon card.
Details Surrounding the Accusation
In his video, Paul revealed that he received a concerning message from his publicist. It included a press release featuring an image of a woman dressed in a Pikachu costume, showcasing what appeared to be his rare Pokémon card. This image circulated widely on platforms like TMZ, with claims that the model had made a private offer of $10.2 million for the card.
The Reality Behind the Image
- Logan Paul stated, “It’s not real. It’s not a real f*ing photograph. I’ve never met that girl.”
- The woman, known as @bunni.emmie on Instagram, later confessed in her own video that the image was AI-generated.
Despite this admission, she insisted that her intention to buy the card was genuine. “Now that I have your attention, Logan, yes, that pic was AI,” she posted on Instagram. “But I actually didn’t lie. I love Pokémon and have been collecting for years.” She also announced her plans to attend the live auction in Philadelphia.
The Pokémon Card’s Significance
The Illustrator Pokémon card has gained notoriety, having been bought by Paul for $5.275 million in 2021. He famously showcased it around his neck at a WrestleMania event. This card has set records as the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold. Despite the ongoing controversy, Paul intends to keep the card in the upcoming Goldin auction.
Future Prospects and Predictions
- Paul stated, “They quote her saying, ‘I offered Logan two times what is being bid at auction right now… it has true meaning to me.'”
- Predictions indicate that the final sale price of the card could exceed $13 million.
In his vlog, Paul urged media outlets, such as TMZ, to take greater care in verifying image authenticity. The incident has not only raised questions about the ethical implications of AI imagery but also served as a promotional moment for his upcoming WWE match and new product line related to his Prime energy drink.
