Women Targeted With AI Nudes in Facebook Group Said to Include Thai TV Directors and Actors

Women were allegedly targeted through the sharing of photographs, videos and AI-generated nude images in a Facebook group that a whistleblower claimed had grown to as many as 230,000 members, including people allegedly working in Thailand's film, television and advertising industries.

The allegations surfaced on X on 28 October, when the whistleblower claimed the group had been operating since April 2025. The reported circulation of AI-generated nude images has raised concerns about the sharing of sexualised images of women without their consent.

Whistleblower Claims Group Had 230,000 Members

According to the whistleblower, members of the Facebook group shared photographs and videos of women, sexually harassed their targets and circulated AI-generated nude images. The group reportedly required a specific link to join and was claimed to have attracted as many as 230,000 members.

The whistleblower also claimed that people working in Thailand's film, television and advertising industries were among the group's members, including directors, cinematographers and actors known for their roles in Thai Boys' Love (BL) dramas. However, the available reporting does not establish whether those allegedly identified as members personally created or distributed the material.

The group allegedly used special symbols in its name to make it harder to find through Facebook searches, according to Hong Kong publication Sing Tao Headline, cited by AsiaOne.

Women From BNK48 and Beyond Were Allegedly Targeted

The group reportedly first targeted members of popular Thai girl group BNK48 before expanding its focus to other female celebrities, journalists and ordinary women, according to Sing Tao Headline.

The allegations have also raised concerns that some entertainment professionals may have exploited their access to female celebrities and models to obtain photographs that were allegedly shared within the group. However, the available reports do not establish which individuals obtained or shared the photographs, or whether those accused of being group members were personally involved in doing so.

A post shared on X on 2 November reflected the anger surrounding the allegations. One user, @sushissi, wrote: 'this is sickening and these men shouldnt get away with this. this is sexual harassment and so many women have been targeted here this needs to be addressed'.

Actor Boom Denies Separate Allegations

A separate controversy mentioned in the reporting involves Thai actor Tharatorn Jantharaworakarn, known as Boom. He was accused of secretly filming and harassing female artistes under the same agency.

Boom denied the allegations in a social media statement and urged the public to verify information before sharing it, according to Sing Tao Headline. The whistleblower reportedly clarified that the actor was not connected to the Facebook group scandal and that the allegations against him were unrelated.

Thailand Scandal Echoes South Korea's Nth Room

The allegations have drawn comparisons with South Korea's notorious Telegram Nth Room case, exposed in 2020, in which sexually exploitative content featuring women and girls was created, distributed and sold primarily through the messaging platform.

Although the two cases involve different platforms and circumstances, the comparison highlights concerns about online communities being used to facilitate sexual exploitation and the circulation of intimate imagery without consent.

The claims, including the reported membership figure and the identities of those allegedly involved, have not been independently verified in the AsiaOne report.
