Episode 37: Sequins, Deepfakes, and the Dark Side of AI
This week on Wine by the Case, Alexis and Chris go full holiday glam—sequins on, wine poured—and tackle the very real, very unsettling legal implications of AI gone rogue.
At the center of the episode is Megan Thee Stallion and a viral, AI-generated hardcore porn video created using her likeness without consent. What followed became one of the most closely watched AI-defamation cases to date.
They unpack:
How the deepfake was created and distributed
Why Megan sued a Miami-based media operator
The jury’s verdict, injunction, and the million-dollar attorney’s fee gut punch
What this case signals for revenge porn laws, likeness rights, and future AI litigation
And because this is Wine by the Case, they also cover:
How AI is crashing headfirst into both criminal and civil law
Why deepfakes are now a reputational weapon of choice
How a $6.99 Napa Valley red somehow became the holiday MVP

Shockingly good. Unapologetically affordable. Judge-approved (emotionally, not legally).
Because nothing says Merry Everything like sequins, snark, ethical AI debates, and landmark legal precedent.
