Images Taken From Instagram And Modified With AI
The 28-year-old nursing trainee learned about the fake listing when an internet user messaged her the screenshots. Erstmal wollte ich es gar nicht glauben. Und dann habe ich halt die Bilder und Screenshots bekommen. Dann wurde mir das erst so bewusst und ich war erstmal eigentlich nur geschockt
, Kunschke recalled, as reported by www1.wdr.de.
The profile used pictures pulled directly from her personal Instagram account, altering some of them through artificial intelligence in a clear case of deepfake imagery. The exact total volume of the forged material remains unknown.
Kunschke Files Criminal Complaint over Deepfake Imagery
Following the discovery, Kunschke filed a formal criminal complaint with the police and retained an attorney to request access to the investigative case files. Investigators quickly identified a man’s name linked to the Markt.de advertisement. Authorities must still determine whether that individual was also the victim of identity theft. Kunschke conducted her own online searches regarding the suspect, noting her dismay that he used her photos despite having no personal connection to her.
The issue of digital sexual violence and unauthorized deepfake imagery has gained prominent attention in Germany through high-profile cases. Actress and presenter Collien Fernandes previously accused her ex-husband Christian Ulmen of generating fake nude photos, sex videos, and fraudulent profiles using her identity, pushing the debate surrounding legal protections and stricter penalties into the public eye.
Public Warning Issued To Followers On Instagram
Kunschke chose to address the incident openly, publishing a video on her Instagram channel to inform her approximately 25,000 followers about the misuse of her likeness. Her announcement generated significant supportive feedback, with one user writing, Das ist wirklich einfach unfair und eine riesen Untat und ich hoffe, dass du Gerechtigkeit erfährst

Dass er mich gar nicht kennt und diese Bilder verwendet hat – ich war richtig fassungslos!
