Eleni Randou condemns AI-generated image of husband Vassilis Papakonstantinou
On October 30, 2026, Greek actress Eleni Randou publicly expressed her outrage regarding a viral AI-generated image depicting her husband, popular singer Vassilis Papakonstantinou, in a hospital bed. The image, which was widely circulated on social media and subsequently picked up by various news websites without verifying its authenticity, caused significant distress among fans of the performer.
In a post shared on her official Facebook account, Randou strongly criticized the use of artificial intelligence to generate misleading content. She condemned the act as a manifestation of vulgarity, emphasizing that while good taste has its limits, such digital fabrications seem to have no bottom. She argued that the technology is being exploited to facilitate distorted fantasies purely for the sake of generating clicks and traffic.
The incident highlights growing concerns over the spread of deepfake imagery and the lack of ethical oversight in digital media reporting. The mass dissemination of the fake image, which was presented in some reports as legitimate news, caused confusion and concern among the public who admire the singer. No further legal action or formal investigations have been announced by the couple at this stage beyond the public statement.
