Vicky Pattison has uploaded a picture of herself, fully clothed, into one of the new and easily accessible ‘undressing’ apps. The horror she feels on seeing the almost instant results, as she is digitally derobed, is visceral.
If she was angry about this, though, imagine how Vicky, 37, felt when she repeated the process, but uploading an image of her husband instead. Vicky, a former TV reality star and now an influencer and campaigner, has suffered some collateral damage in this ‘war’ herself. Last night her documentary Vicky Pattison: My Deepfake Sex Tape, about the murky world of deepfake porn, aired on Channel 4 to a great brouhaha.
What Vicky didn’t anticipate is that there would be a backlash, and that her methods would be strongly criticised. ‘These women have suffered enormous trauma,’ Jodie says. ‘For Channel 4 to curate this experience trivialises the issue. It feels wrong. There was consent throughout the process, which is something real victims do not get.’‘I’m in no way trivialising their feelings, and I completely understand from the bottom of my heart,’ she tells me.
She says she sat down with the film production company some 18 months ago to work through ideas. The one that soon gained traction was to explore how easy it would be to actually make a convincing sex tape of a celebrity and watch from afar as it went viral.One of the most striking aspects of Vicky’s process is that she had only just got married when she began making the documentary – and her husband was, for better or worse, part of that journey.
Then there was the anti-men feeling that grew inside Vicky as the project continued and she spoke to victims – including a teenage girl and a woman who discovered her deepfaker was her own brother-in-law. Whatever you think of Vicky’s methods, the documentary does make the stomach churn, and – her trump card in terms of the means justifying the ends – will likely attract a different target audience to the investigations previously conducted by serious journalists like Channel 4 News’s Cathy Newman .
Cue a cringe-filled day spent watching as two actors got down to action on a bed, with Vicky watching. ‘I’ve never felt so uncomfortable,’ she tells me. ‘As I was sitting in my room at night chatting to the fellas that make this stuff, I felt so uncomfortable and it reinforced the idea that I’m a bit of a prude.’here is discomfort here not just about the deepfake aspect, but the general tone of much easily accessible online porn.
‘I kept thinking: “What if a 14-year-old lad is watching this and thinks it’s OK? How will that impact on his view of women, and his ability to have a relationship?” She was helped by a team from Deep Fusion Films. Owner Benjamin Field defended the project, saying: ‘In 2024 alone, explicit deepfake videos reached record levels, with women accounting for over 90 per cent of the victims. Vicky’s bravery in lending her voice to this issue has brought a deeply personal and human perspective to a problem often hidden in the shadows.’
