A video purporting to show Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, out for a stroll in Quebec City has gained millions of views since it was posted last week. The original poster, a 19-year-old from Quebec City, told CBC News as much and added — albeit retroactively — disclaimer labels flagging the use of AI. They refused to share their name, saying they have received multiple threats since the video went up. The Quebec City video has been shared thousands of times, including by Russian state-owned media outlet RT on its X account, saying it shows a woman in Quebec looking STRIKINGLY similar to Ghislaine Maxwell. In an Instagram story uploaded over the weekend, the video's poster explained that their intent was never to spread misinformation but to make satire content.
