Tom Brady Threatens Lawsuit Against Comedians Over AI Generated Comedy Special

Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback for the New England Patriots, is threatening to take legal action against comedians who impersonated him in an AI-generated comedy special. The special was created by a company called Botnik Studios and featured computer-generated jokes about Brady’s career.
The special aired on HBO Max last week and included jokes such as “Tom Brady has been playing football since he was a baby — literally! He used to crawl around with a tiny football helmet on his head.” It also featured impressions of other NFL stars like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.
Brady took offense to the jokes made at his expense and released a statement through his lawyer saying that he had not given permission for anyone to use his likeness or name in any form of media without prior approval from himself or his team. He further stated that if any comedian were found guilty of using his likeness without permission, they would be subject to legal action from him personally.
Botnik Studios responded by issuing an apology for airing the comedy special without getting proper consent from Brady first. They said that they had no intention of offending anyone with their content but admitted that it was wrong not to get permission before airing it publicly. They have since removed all references to Tom Brady from their website and social media accounts as well as taking down the video itself from streaming services like HBO Max where it originally aired.
The incident has sparked debate over whether celebrities should have control over how their likenesses are used in media projects such as this one or if creators should be allowed more freedom when creating comedic content based on real people’s lives and careers. While some argue that celebrities should have control over how their images are portrayed, others believe that creators should be able to make whatever kind of art they want regardless of what famous figures may think about it afterwards.
Regardless, this situation serves as an important reminder for both celebrities and creators alike: always make sure you get proper consent before using someone else’s image or likeness in your work! |Tom Brady Threatens Lawsuit Against Comedians Over AI Generated Comedy Special|Lawsuit|People
