Since then, OP has taken to Twitter to provide further evidence on the case as user @rem1038582, including proof that they are the owner of the Reddit account that posted the original story.
The user posted various images, including alleged selfies from the night of the assault as well as alleged documentation proof of her hospital visit following the assault.
However, many users have discovered inconsistencies with the photos that lead to accusations of OP using generative AI. For example, in the documentation, the Hangul text appears inaccurate.
Additionally, the information such as OP’s birthday and gender are inaccurate according to the post.
The inconsistencies of the tattoo also point to generative AI.
Additionally, the photos bear a strong resemblance to British influencer and model @lame.cobain.
