Mario Lopez is raising eyebrows after he shared a truly bizarre AI video featuring his niece Kalia Wong eating hot dogs at a baseball game.
“I can’t take my niece anywhere!” Lopez, 52, captioned the video, shared via X on Sunday, August 2. (The video has since been deleted.)
In the video, Lopez and Wong, 19, can be seen sitting at Dodger Stadium. Two AI-generated hot dogs covered in mustard and relish appear in Wong’s hands.
“I can’t take her anywhere,” an AI version of Lopez exclaimed while a faux Wong took a bite of both the computerized hot dogs as mustard splattered everywhere.
After the AI version of Wong made a mess, the fake version of Lopez and the man sitting next to them both exclaimed, “Oh my God! Look at you!”
“Ah, so good!” the AI version of Wong said. The faux Lopez responded, “You’re a mess! The mustard!”
The video ended with a close-up of Wong’s face as she continued to wipe mustard all over her face.
At the bottom of Lopez’s video, it states it was made with Grok Image, X’s AI image and video generator.
Lopez’s video went viral shortly after the video was posted, sparking instant backlash for what many felt was sexually suggestive content.
“Uhhhh, what a creepy video for Mario Lopez to create using AI and then post … Especially since the subject is his niece!” journalist Yashar Ali wrote via X, resharing the video to his own feed.
“I was so confused what the f*** was this, till i realized this is his ACTUAL niece, and this is a video he generated showing her double stuffing two hot dogs in a weird fetishy way,” another social media user wrote. “Mario lopez making weird incest ai slop def not on my bingo card this year.”
Lopez has not publicly addressed the backlash. Us has reached out to him for comment.
In addition to the AI video, Lopez shared a real clip featuring the uncle and niece at the baseball game on Sunday.
“Hotter than a Dodger dog on the grill out here but the Dodgers might be even hotter. Big moves,” the actor told the camera. “Let’s go Skubal. Big expectations and I’m all in for this postseason push. Let’s do it up. I’m here with my niece Kalia.”
Despite deleting the original video, social media users commented on Lopez’s real, non-AI video instead, calling him out for the previously shared AI slop.
“Imagine you think you’re having a nice outing with your uncle, only to see he created a weird ahh ai video of you,” one user responded while another replied, “What a nice, normal video. Surely you didn’t post AI f***ing loser garbage after this that sexualizes your niece you f***ing LOSER.”
