A video on social media shows various Jewish celebrities giving Kanye West the middle finger. The video was created using generative AI without the celebrities' consent and spread quickly due to anger at Kanye West's antisemitism. The video depicts celebrities wearing shirts with a middle finger and Star of David, overlaid on the word "KANYE." It ends with a call to action against antisemitism. Some celebrities depicted have publicly opposed antisemitism, while others haven't. One celebrity, Scarlett Johansson, has previously sued to prevent AI-generated likeness use.
