St. Clair is suing on nine causes of action, including "negligence,” “design defect,” “manufacturing defect,” and "intentional infliction of emotional distress,” the lawsuit states.

When St. Clair publicly responded to Grok and said she “did not consent to being undressed, having any intimate content produced, or having her image altered in any way,” the chatbot confirmed her images would not be used or altered without explicit consent in the future, the lawsuit states.

“Among other things, X users dug up photos of St. Clair fully clothed at 14 years old and requested Grok undress her and put her in a bikini. Grok obliged.”

Grok fulfilled several users’ requests to generate images of St. Clair, including one request to “‘put the girl in a bikini made out of floss,’” the lawsuit alleges.

“St. Clair not only responded to Grok requesting content be removed, she also reported various images to X. She received an email that there was no violation found. Much of the content remained on Grok’s X account and publicly available for over seven days,” the lawsuit reads.

“X then proceeded to place warnings for ‘nudity, sexual content, violence, gore or hateful symbols’ on St. Clair’s responses to Grok and deboosted her account while simultaneously keeping the images up,” the lawsuit continues.

St. Clair also claims that X removed her Premium subscription and demonetized her account, despite her having paid for an annual subscription in August. She is now demanding a jury trial on all issues described in the lawsuit.

XAI also sued St. Clair in Texas on Thursday, claiming she breached its terms of service agreement by filing the lawsuit, according to the Wall Street Journal. A lawyer for the company claimed that when she signed up for an account on X, she agreed to the terms of service, which require that legal disputes be brought in Texas, the outlet reports.
