"It's clearly fake because it's not my voice and not my lips moving. I'm not in control of any of those accounts. ... I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. I would never say that. That's not who I am."
"I've been seeing stuff that people think it's me, but if you watch the video, that's not my voice and something that I never say. I don't really know how that kind of took a storm on its own when I play here and give everything I have here."
Brady Tkachuk, captain of the Ottawa Senators, publicly rejected a doctored TikTok video shared by the White House containing AI-generated audio making him appear to insult Canadians as "maple syrup eating" expletives. Tkachuk emphasized the video was clearly fake, featuring neither his voice nor his lip movements, and stated such words would never come from him. He also denied being the voice heard shouting "close the northern border" during Team USA's celebratory call with President Trump following the men's hockey team's 2-1 overtime Olympic gold medal victory over Canada. The 26-year-old Arizona native, who captains the NHL's Ottawa Senators and has built his entire career in Canada, expressed frustration that misinformation circulated despite his commitment to the Canadian community.
