Mario Lopez is raising eyebrows after he shared a truly bizarre AI video featuring his niece Kalia Wong eating hot dogs at a baseball game.
“I can’t take my niece anywhere!” Lopez, 52, captioned the video, shared via X on Sunday, August 2. (The video has since-been deleted.)
In the video, reposted by several other social media users, Lopez and Wong, 19, can be seen sitting at Dodger Stadium. Two AI-generated hot dogs covered in mustard and relish appear in Wong’s hands.
“I can’t take her anywhere,” the AI-version of Lopez exclaimed as the faux Wong took a fake bite of both the computerized hot dogs as mustard splattered everywhere.
After the AI-version of Wong made a mess, the fake version of Lopez and the man sitting next to them both exclaim, “Oh my God! Look at you!”
“Ahhh so good!” the AI-version of Wong said. The AI-version of Lopez responded. “You’re a mess! The mustard!”
The video ended with a closeup of Wong’s face as she continued to wipe mustard all over her face.
At the bottom of Lopez’s video it states it was made with Grok Image, X’s AI image and video generator.
Lopez’s video went viral shortly after the video was posted, sparking instant backlash for what many claimed to be sexually suggestive content.
“Uhhhh, what a creepy video for Mario Lopez to create using AI and then post … Especially since the subject is his niece!” journalist Yashar Ali wrote via X, resharing the video to his own feed.
“I was so confused what the f*** was this, till i realized this is his ACTUAL niece, and this is a video he generated showing her double stuffing two hot dogs in a weird fetishy way,” another social media user wrote. “Mario lopez making weird incest ai slop def not on my bingo card this year.”
Lopez has not publicly addressed the backlash. Us has reached out to Lopez for comment.
In addition to the AI video, Lopez shared a real clip featuring the uncle and niece at the baseball game on Sunday.
TikTok was flooded with deepfake videos of YouTuber and pro boxer Jake Paul seemingly coming out as gay in October 2025. The ultra-realistic deepfakes — which were created using OpenAI’s video generation model Sora — depicted the boxer draped in an LGTBQ+ Pride flag or dancing ballet in a tutu, all while encouraging viewers to […]
“Hotter than a Dodger dog on the grill out here but the Dodgers might be even hotter. Big moves,” the actor told the camera. “Let’s go Skubal. Big expectations and I’m all in for this postseason push. Let’s do it up. I’m here with my niece Kalia.”
Despite deleting the video, social media users commented on Lopez’s real, non-AI video, calling him out for the previously shared AI slop.
“Imagine you think you’re having a nice outing with your uncle, only to see he created a weird ahh ai video of you,” one user responded while another replied, “What a nice, normal video. Surely you didn’t post AI f***ing loser garbage after this that sexualizes your niece you f***ing LOSER.”
