THIS Morning featured a guest who claims her likeness was stolen – to make an X-rated sex doll.
Yael Cohen Aris, 25, claimed a company had used images of her without consent to make the naughty toy.
In fact, it even shared her name and and was accurate right down to the beauty spot below her lip.
The horrified model even found a forum where pictures of her were being used to sell the product.
Yael, an Instagram star with more than a million followers, is calling for the doll to be taken off sale and wants to take legal action against the firm that makes it.
Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield from Israel via video link on This Morning, she said it was made without her consent.
Yael explained: “I couldn’t really understand what I was looking at – it was a sex doll for sale. Then when I realised the scale of it and what’s going on.
“I don’t have anything against the sex doll industry but the problem is they did it without my consent and without my knowledge.
“Also it’s double wrong because it’s connected to my identity. It’s not just a doll that looks like me or is inspired by me – they never hid the fact it was developed from me.”
In 2019, Yael told her Instagram followers about the discovery and is frustrated it is still being sold.
She fumed: “I found out that a big company made a SEX DOLL about me WITHOUT my permission or me knowing.
‘No it’s not a joke, It’s real. They even named the doll “Yael”. I am still shocked. don’t really know what to do.”
Asking by Phillip if she would accept a percentage of the profit from sales of the doll, Yael replied: “No, I think first of all it should get off the shelves and then maybe we could talk about how things went wrong and why.
“I’m not talking about compensation, I think learning a lesson from this would be the best thing to come out of this story.”
This Morning said they had contacted the Chinese company that made it, Irontech Dolls, but did not receive a reply.
