“We Even Have The Same Tattoo”: Beauty Influencer Exposes “Embarrassing” Creator Who Stole Photo

A model and ringside boxing reporter deleted a social media post after seemingly being caught editing her face onto another influencer’s body.

Tatiana Elizabeth felt something was off when she came across a photo that looked strangely similar to one she had posted.

“So, this photo to the right is a photo of me at the US Open in 2024,” Elizabeth explained in a video. “This photo to the left is a photo that I came across this morning on Instagram of someone who castrated me and decided to use my image and my environment.”

The picture at the center of the scandal shows Elizabeth posing in a white t-shirt and matching tennis skirt with a green-and-white scarf and a Louis Vuitton purse.

Influencer and DAZN correspondent Lauren Blake Boultier posted a photo featuring the same body against the same backdrop, except her face was in place of Elizabeth’s.

“We even have the same tattoo!!!!?” Elizabeth joked on social media, referring to a small tattoo on her wrist visible in both images.

Boultier tagged the photo location as Miami, Florida, seemingly pretending to have attended a Miami Open match.

“She geotagged MIAMI as if she’s at the Miami Open,” Elizabeth said, clarifying that her photo was taken at the US Open two years earlier.

Elizabeth explained that she initially thought Boultier’s photo belonged to a fake, AI-generated influencer account.

“I initially thought that it was one of those faceless AI pages, but come to my realization, this is an actual person with 1.6 million followers at that,” she said.

“And by no means am I trying to bash this girl. Mental health is real, and I’m not a bully. I’m just a little perplexed.”

Elizabeth claimed that Boultier has not offered any explanation or apology, suggesting that she is “probably embarrassed, which she should be.”

“Just want to know what was the reason? Has social media got into our heads that much that we are completely disregarding couth?” she asked.

“This girl has not reached out to me. She has not apologized, she has not given an explanation (…) But I think that the nice and accountable thing to do would be to reach out and at least apologize to the person whose photo you took.”

A telling sign, in addition to the pose and backdrop, was the small tattoo on Elizabeth’s wrist

In the comments, many people shared the influencer’s surprise and indignation at Boultier’s alleged decision to edit her face onto Elizabeth’s.

“This is actually scary and shouldn’t be taken lightly,” one person wrote.

“Makes me wanna quit social media entirely,” shared another user.

A third added, “Some Black Mirror sh*t fr,” referencing Netflix’s popular sci-fi show.

“Getting real dystopian around here,” echoed a fourth, while a separate user said, “Instagram isn’t a real place. So fake.”

“I’m stuck on her leaving the body black,” another netizen chimed in.

Even tennis superstar Coco Gauff commented, “This court is not even in Miami…”

Elizabeth, a beauty influencer who owns the cosmetics brand skinBUTTR, has over 110,000 followers on TikTok and more than 350,000 on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Boultier, the fashion, travel, and beauty influencer who reportedly stole Elizabeth’s photo, boasts 1.6 million followers on Instagram.

In addition to her social media work, she serves as a boxing reporter for sports company DAZN and sells adult content.

The case highlights the broader trend of posting fake content on social media.  According to research by Wondercraft, over 80% of content creators now incorporate AI tools, with nearly 40% utilizing them throughout the entire creative process.

Last April, beauty influencer Arielle Lorre accused skincare brand Skaind Official of creating an AI-generated video showing her endorsing their products without her consent.

Boultier has also been accused of copying other influencers’ social media posts

In August, a man named Jorge Abrego was arrested in Houston and charged with online impersonation and unlawful production of s*xually explicit videos after allegedly creating fake TikTok accounts impersonating an influencer and generating inappropriate AI content of her.

The victim told deputies that she was scared for her life, had suffered financial loss, and that the false and defamatory content under her likeness had affected her personal and professional reputation, Click2Houston reported.

“Very odd behavior,” one netizen said of Lauren Blake Boultier’s alleged pattern of copying other women’s photos
