Abbey Yung recently posted a new video where she talks about a brand who took her videos on Tiktok and used them for an AD. The brand’s name is @shopbotaniqueparis. They went as far as to use voice software to imitate this beauty influencer’s voice in their AD.
Abbey said that it all started when **she posted a video on Tiktok two years ago.** The video was a response to one of Abbey’s followers, and **in that video she was responding to the question of how she got rid of her dark circles.** In her video, she gives credit to a tretinoin cream and a serum from The ordinary for transforming her appearance. **A year later (summer of 2023), she made another video about the same topic.** She gives credits tretinoin again for getting rid of her dark circles.
**Then one day, one of her followers sent her sent a video of a brand, (@shopbotaniqueparis), that took her content** and posted her content to one of their ADs. **In their instagram AD, they used Abbey’s videos** about how she got rid of her dark circles **and presented them as if she was accrediting getting rid of her dark circles to** **this brand’s product.** However, Abbey has not done any collaboration with this brand or recommended this brand at all. This brand pretty much stole this lady’s content, adapted it in their AD to their liking, and **they** **blatantly presented her content as if it were a legitimate AD with that Abbey Yung did for them!** She says that this brand has been pushing that fake AD for many months and estimates that the AD has gathered over 1 million views or more.
**Abbey is not pleased about this situation, because they took her content and used a voice software to make it look like she said something she never said.** She’s rightfully angry about the fact that most people who watch the AD wouldn’t notice the vocal change between the voice software and Abbey’s voice. **She’s also angry that people believed the brand’s AD as a genuine Recommendation from her, and then purchased this ineffective product based on Abbey’s presence in the video.**
As she further looks into this brand, she sees they’re a a pretty scammy looking brand, that their products probably don’t work and thinks that their products can be potentially unsafe. **She doesn’t feel good about being associated with this kind of brans after bulldog up a clean reputation on social media.**
And the worst thing is, **she can’t do much about it or take the video down.**
