TV presenter calls in the police after trolls edit her into a picture with Jeffrey Epstein

British TV personality,  Narinder Kaur, has been targeted by trolls who edited an image to give the impression she had ties with late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

A photo of the 53-year-old, best known for her appearances on Jeremy Vine and Good Morning Britain, was digitally superimposed onto an image of the paedophile and circulated on X by an anonymous account.

The fake picture appears to show Epstein dressed in a black polo shirt with his arm around the neck of Ms Kaur as she pouts into the camera.

But in reality, the photograph shows the s£x offender hugging Belarusian woman Karyna Shuliak, thought to be Epstein’s last known girlfriend.

The image appears to have been manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) in order to give the impression that Ms Kaur knew Epstein.

She told the Daily Mail: ‘I have never met, or had any dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. The fact I even have to say that out loud shows how dangerous and surreal this kind of AI abuse has become.

‘It’s exhausting having to constantly defend yourself against things that never happened. There is a real emotional toll to waking up and seeing your face placed into vile, fabricated scenarios.’

Ms Kaur says she has been targeted because of the colour of her skin and for being outspoken on social media.

‘I’m being targeted by trolls who know exactly what they’re doing, they’re trying to humiliate me, discredit me and attach my name to something so grotesque that people stop and wonder if it could be true,’ she added.

‘This is the new form of online abuse. You don’t need a real photo or a real event anymore. AI can invent it for you and within minutes people are questioning your reality.

‘I think I’m targeted because I speak out. I’m a woman of colour, I’m opinionated and I don’t stay quiet. That combination seems to make me a magnet for this kind of hate.’

It was also reported that a report on the original post been made to a police force in England, which has now been passed to the Metropolitan Police.
