She fights for how women can achieve their goals better empowered and supports them in their fight for equality. However, the recent controversy over her reveals another darker side: the misuse of social media.
Controversial Fake Videos Circulate Online
A huge controversy erupting in social media claimed that a private video of Mathira was leaking online. The latest antics are said to have followed the very same pattern as with other personalities including Pakistani TikTok star Imsha Rehman and Indonesian e-sports Lydia Onic. Several explicit clips have reportedly emerged, showing Mathira in compromising situations, but all of them remain unverified and highly dubious.

Mathira’s Fiery Response
Mathira took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice her distress over it. “People are misusing my name and my photoshoot pictures and adding fake stuff in. Please have shame! Keep me out of this trashy nonsense.” Her statement epitomizes frustration in being a victim of manipulated and faked content that can big time cause damage to the reputation and mental setup of any person in public life.

Deepfake Concerns and Impact on Influencers
Earlier, TikTok star Imsha Rehman had also faced public backlash over the same incident that forced her to temporarily suspend all her social media accounts. A similar case happened with another social media personality, Minahil Malik, who had to take legal action against them while declaring such fake content should be reported to the FIA.
The Need for Responsible Social Media Use
Misusing someone’s name through fake edits can cause extreme emotional suffering, compelling the victims to push towards depression or even carry out suicidal tendencies. It is very important that people take responsible exercises in social media and do not circulate unverified data that can affect the lives of others.
