Is 'AI far greater threat' than Kanye West? Scarlett Johansson condemns AI video targeting rapper amid antisemitic controversy
The video, which rapidly gained traction online, features Hollywood stars seemingly wearing white T-shirts adorned with the Star of David and a raised middle finger above the word “KANYE.” The clip ends with bold statements: “Enough is Enough” and “Join the Fight Against Antisemitism.”

The video was meant to criticize West—who now goes by Ye—following his four-day antisemitic rant on Twitter that ultimately led to his account being deactivated. However, Johansson and several other celebrities whose images were manipulated without consent have condemned the clip.
Among those depicted in the video were Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Black, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer. Schwimmer also publicly denounced Ye’s hate speech and called on Twitter owner Elon Musk to intervene.
