She had warned that the action taken by an individual or any of them would face consequences as her "real life and families" were affected due to this. "What has been most painful is not only the misrepresentation itself, but the speed and ease with which a person's dignity can be undermined in the digital space. These actions have consequences far beyond the screen, affecting real people, real families, and real lives." she wrote.
She termed the objectionable content not just harmless, but a "deeply hurtful and dehumanizing." She said she has always kept "silence" for any negativity against her, but she mentioned that this time, she believes that, like several women face the same forms of "online abuse", so it makes her compelled to speak against it and take action.'
Gaming confirmed that she had taken legal action against it and requested media and others refrain from sharing such content. "Appropriate legal steps are being taken to address the misuse of my name and likeness, and to ensure accountability in accordance with the law."
