WATCH: Pakistani TV Host and Influencer Mathira Addresses Viral Leaked Video Scandal
MMS clips featuring private moments of many popular influencers and social media personalities being leaked on the internet are becoming increasingly frequent.
Many of these videos are deepfakes and AI-generated, but by the time the video is proven fake, irreparable damage is already done to the personality’s image.
The latest victim of this worrying trend is popular Pakistani TV host and influencer Mathira, whose private video has been leaked online. She has become yet another personality in a long list of victims, which includes influencers Minahil Malik and Imsha Rehman, who also fell prey to this despicable trend.
This latest instance has sent alarm bells ringing about the increasing threats to digital privacy worldwide.

The clip has once again reignited debates questioning the motives behind sharing such clips of prominent personalities on the internet.
