Keanu Reeves recently told Wired magazine that deepfakes and AI technology are "scary." The actor said that he even added clauses to his contracts to make sure his performance isn't altered

He explained, "I don't mind if someone takes a blink out during an edit. But early on, in the early 2000s, or it might have been the '90s, I had a performance changed. They added a tear to my face, and I was just like, ‘Huh?!' It was like, ‘I don't even have to be here.'"

The John Wick actor added, "What's frustrating about that is you lose your agency. When you give a performance in a film, you know you're going to be edited, but you're participating in that. If you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That's scary."

"Well, Louis C.K. did lose everything, but he committed an actual offense. And Dave Chappelle was protected by Netflix. I'm the only person who's lost everything, whose life's work was stolen, stolen by people who I thought loved me. And there was silence. There was no one in Hollywood really defending me publicly, except for Mo'nique, who is a brave, close, dear friend."

Barr even accused her former employer, ABC, of wanting her to kill herself.

She told the outlet,""It was a witch-burning. They denied me the right to apologize. Oh my God, they just hated me so badly. I had never known that they hated me like that. They hate me because I have talent, because I have an opinion. Even though Roseanne became their No. 1 show, they'd rather not have a No. 1 show … When they killed my character off, that was a message to me – knowing that I'm mentally ill or have mental health issues – that they did want me to commit suicide."

The comedian is getting it all out in a stand-up special Monday (February 13th) on Fox Nation titled Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!
