QTCinderella discovered a former friend had been looking at deepfake pictures of her Screenshot from Twitch

The internet has changed a lot of things over the years. There are more ways to keep in contact with friends and loved ones. Searching for information is not just a click away from the fingertips. And there’s something for every kink.

Except some of the pictures are not real. Some of them are generated by artificial intelligence to cater to people who want to see celebrities naked but the star does not take off their clothes.

Streamer QTCinderella falls into the category of wholesome internet personality. She is known for gaming and baking content that stays clean. Her fans look to her when they need a boost, maybe a laugh. It was a dream come true for the young woman.

But that dream became a nightmare.

A personal friend of QTCinderella’s and fellow streamer, Atrioc, began a stream on January 30, 2023. In the corner of his screen was a website that housed deepfake pictures of people. It garnered a lot of attention.

It didn’t take long for some fans to point out that there were pictures of QTCinderella on the website. Curious, she took a look and was horrified by what she found.
