Mia Goth forced to address AI photo circulating online after filing for divorce from Shia LaBeouf
Mia Goth has been forced to address a fake photo of her circulating online following her divorce from Shia LaBeouf.
The 32-year-old Pearl actress met LaBeouf, 40, while filming Nymphomaniac: Vol. II in 2012 and began an on-and-off relationship.
They married in Las Vegas in October 2016, announced a separation and said they were divorcing in 2018, but never finalised that divorce and later reunited.
They had a daughter, Isabel, in 2022.

Goth has since filed for divorce again earlier this month (6 October), saying they had separated in July 2025. She is seeking primary legal and physical custody, with visitation for LaBeouf.
Just days after the news broke that Goth had filed for divorce from LaBeouf, an AI-generated selfie of her posing in a shirt reading 'MY EX IS MY BIGGEST FAN' went viral.
The hit Beyoncé song 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)' had been added to the post.
The image in question was posted last Thursday (8 October) by an Instagram fan account with the handle @miagoth_, which featured a blue verified checkmark on the account.
It didn't take long for the AI photo to circulate through several news outlets and social media as if it were a genuine post the Hollywood A-lister had shared.
"I thought that was her official page and followed recently. Bamboozled, once again," one fan confessed.
A second penned: "I GOT GOT WTF!!!"
And a third chimed in: "Woah I actually thought that was her account…"
A spokesperson for Goth, Christine Tripicchio, has since issued a statement on the matter.
Speaking to The Verge, Goth's rep said: "Mia Goth does not have ownership of, nor does she engage in social media on any platform.
"We have filed multiple complaints with Instagram to remove the verified fan account which continues to post counterfeit, AI images of Mia Goth."
The statement continued: "The fact that this fan account meets Instagram’s criteria to qualify for a 'blue check' is disconcerting on a fundamental level.
"Beyond that, it is incomprehensible that Instagram evidently prioritises the dissemination of forged and manipulated images over the protection and integrity of a public figure’s likeness."
As of this morning (15 October), the @miagoth_ fan account, which had roughly one million followers, appears to have been removed from Instagram.
A Meta spokesperson has said in a statement that the account was 'removed for impersonating a public figure', according to Variety.
