"Shein is investigating after a photo on the e-commerce powerhouse's website appeared to show the suspected CEO killer modeling its clothes. Consumers looking to purchase a white floral button-down shirt were faced with the image of Mangione in a scene that sent shockwaves across social media. The image appears to be either photoshopped or AI-generated. Shein denied knowingly using Mangione's likeness in its ad, saying it took down the image once it was found."
"In a statement to TMZ, Shein said: The image in question was provided by a third-party vendor and was removed immediately upon discovery. We have stringent standards for all listings on our platform. We are conducting a thorough investigation, strengthening our monitoring processes, and will take appropriate action against the vendor in line with our policies."
Shein removed an image from its website that appeared to show Luigi Mangione modeling a white floral button-down shirt and is investigating the listing. The image appears to be either photoshopped or AI-generated. Shein said the image was provided by a third-party vendor, was removed immediately upon discovery, and that the company is conducting a thorough investigation while strengthening monitoring processes and will take action against the vendor. UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down on Dec. 4 in Midtown Manhattan; his killer fled on a CitiBike into Central Park. Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a five-day manhunt and has pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree murder and firearm possession.
