The public backlash persists over the fake, sexually explicit images of Taylor Swift that recently circulated online. The pornographic and digitally altered images of the superstar singer-songwriter and musician spread last week on social media websites such as X, formerly Twitter. The images were deepfakes, a relatively new term for a seemingly realistic but manipulated video or photo produced by a form of AI. But the proliferation of such deepfakes is getting the attention of government officials – both nationally and at the state level. Additionally, at least the 10 states below now have legislation that specifically targets those who create and share explicit deepfake content, as reported by USA Today.

Napoli Shkolnik, a law firm in New York, is suing one of its attorneys for "quiet quitting." The firm's complaint explicitly references the pandemic-era "trend" of "quiet quitting." The law firm wants to strike Palmore's compensation for her "period of her disloyalty" — meaning it wants her to return more than $400,000. Lucas Markowitz of Offit Kurman, for Napoli Shkolnik, told Abovethelaw.com that Palmore "misrepresented her skillset, experience and book of business to obtain a position with Napoli Shkolnik. She then directly competed with Napoli Shkolnik by leading her own law firm."
Now his lawyers at Cadwalader and Brown Rudnick appear to be distancing themselves. Now, even lawyers that have prided themselves on representing controversial clients appear to be doing the same.
