HS Tikky Tokky is fuming and this time, the controversial influencer is threatening to sue. The TikTok creator and live streamer spoke out after dozens of AI-generated clips surfaced online showing him with a full face of makeup and feminine features. The videos, which quickly spread across TikTok and X, sparked outrage from the influencer who says the creators have taken things way too far.
In one post, the AI version of HS, real name Harrison Sullivan, appears to be wearing pink lipstick, winged eyeliner, and false lashes while mouthing motivational quotes, the same kind he’s known for in his real videos. The edits were realistic enough to fool some fans at first glance, with many commenting “I actually thought this was real” before realising it was AI. Others found it funny and creative, but HS made it clear he’s not laughing.
The 22-year-old took to his Instagram Story to vent his frustration, calling the videos “disrespectful” and saying his likeness is being used without permission. “These weirdos are making AI versions of me wearing makeup. I never gave consent to this,” he wrote. “I’ve already spoken to my team and we’re suing every single one involved.”
Fans had mixed reactions. Some backed his right to be upset, arguing that AI deep-fakes have crossed a dangerous line and that creators deserve to control how their image is used. Others accused him of overreacting, pointing out that parody and digital edits are part of internet culture. “It’s literally AI. Everyone’s been edited or face-swapped at this point,” one person commented on TikTok.
But the controversy has reignited a wider debate about deep-fake culture, we especially as AI-generated videos become more realistic and harder to spot. Many users say the issue isn’t just about humor anymore but about consent and digital identity. One user on X wrote, “It’s not about makeup, it’s about people taking your image and creating false narratives. That’s scary.”
Tikky Tokky isn’t the first influencer to be deep-faked, but his response has brought new attention to how fast this technology is evolving. Just last month, a similar AI edit of another UK creator went viral, showing them saying things they never said. With TikTok and Instagram algorithms often pushing these videos to millions within hours, creators say it’s becoming impossible to control what’s real and what’s fake.
In his rant, HS stressed that it’s not about the makeup itself but the principle. “You can’t just create fake versions of people and post it for clout,” he said. “If I wanted to wear makeup, I’d post it myself. Don’t play with my image.”
While no legal documents have been filed yet, sources close to the influencer say he’s already contacted his management and lawyers to explore his options. Whether he follows through or not, the viral moment has definitely struck a chord, both with fans who defend his right to privacy and those who think he’s turning a harmless trend into a legal battle.
Either way, the internet is talking. And if there’s one thing HS Tikky Tokky knows how to do, it’s turn controversy into a headlines.
