Mario Lopez Deletes AI Video of Niece After X Backlash Over Dodgers Hot-Dog Clip

Summary
Mario Lopez removed an AI-generated X video showing his niece eating two messy hot dogs at a Dodgers game after a wave of criticism.
Critics including Yashar Ali and Dan Katz called the Grok Imagine clip creepy and inappropriate, while others accused Lopez of poor judgment or worse.
The post had framed the altered video as a joke — captioned "I can’t take my niece anywhere!" — though a smaller group defended it as harmless teasing of a teen.
The backlash added to wider concerns about using AI to manipulate family moments shared online, especially when minors or sexualized imagery are involved.
