“My character is being deliberately targeted"
Pakistani TikToker Samiya Hijab has found herself at the centre of a social media storm after a private video purportedly of her went viral.
The 23-year-old influencer, known for her dance and lifestyle content on TikTok, is facing widespread attention following the leak.
In response to the viral clip, Samiya has now broken her silence.
She took to social media to address the situation, firmly denying any involvement with the video.
Samiya claimed the video was fake and said it was AI-generated.
Samiya also expressed frustration over the impact the video has had on her personal and professional life.
In a video message to her followers, Samiya stated: “I completely deny this video and have nothing to do with it.
“My character is being deliberately targeted to damage my reputation on social media.”
The TikTok star suggested that her ex-boyfriend was behind the video’s release, citing personal animosity and revenge as the motives for the leak.
She claimed it happened because she refused to give him money, which she didn’t have at the time.
Samiya claimed she had proof, and in a voicenote allegedly from her ex-lover, he said:
“You knew I was stuck, I told you that I needed the money urgently.”
Despite her denial and allegations, the authenticity of the video remains uncertain.
The uncertainty surrounding the situation has left her followers and the public divided.
A user said: “It is pretty clear that the video isn’t AI-generated. No matter how good AI is, it can not mimic exact reality.”
Another commented: “This is so scary! Can’t imagine how she must be feeling. AI is literally destroying lives.”
Another chipped in:
“I am sure it is a real video. These kinds of women are using AI as an excuse.”
Samiya Hijab urged her fans not to believe the “false and baseless” video, reassuring them that she would take legal action.
