Actor Mark Ruffalo was forced to apologize after sharing phony, AI-generated images of former President Donald Trump supposedly the plane of disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Ruffalo, who lost out on the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor Sunday night, posted the images on social media last week.

He was quoting the post on X of a user claiming Trump took two separate flights to ‘Epstein Island.’

‘Gross. #MAGA wants to paint everyone on those flights as pedophiles except the one guy who smiles in a group of young girls all headed to Epstein’s “Fantasy Island” with him,’ the actor wrote.

‘My bet is there are some decent republicans left in America that may think this is going too far.’

However, it was quickly discovered the photos had been produced using artificial intelligence.

As X’s community notes stated, in one of the photos, the shadows didn’t match the people in the images. Trump’s suit jacket was blurred on one side in one of the pictures. In another, a girl is missing one of her arms.

Ruffalo apologized, but not without jabbing at X CEO Elon Musk for how the actor feels he runs the platform.

‘Sorry Folks. Apparently these images are AI fakes. The fact Trump was on Epstein’s plane and what Epstein was up to is not,’ he wrote.

‘Be careful. Elon’s X and his allowing so much disinformation here is driving the value of his app down by 55 percent.’

Recent court papers have continued to suggest connections between Trump and Epstein.

Trump visited Epstein regularly at his Palm Beach mansion, Epstein’s housekeeper testified – but never had massages or stayed the night, and always ate his meals with the staff in the kitchen.

Juan Alessi’s 2009 deposition was made public on Friday as part of the third tranche of documents released by a Manhattan judge. The documents formed part of a 2015 defamation case filed by one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, against Epstein’s right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Alessi, who worked for Epstein from around 1990 until 2002, was asked whether Trump – whose Mar-a-Lago home is less than two miles from Epstein’s waterfront compound – ever stayed the night.

‘No, never,’ replied Alessi.

Alessi continued: ‘He would come, have dinner. He never sat at the table. He eat with me in the kitchen.’

The lawyer asked Alessi whether Trump ever had massages at Epstein’s house.

‘No. Because he’s got his own spa,’ Alessi replied.

Trump has never been accused of any wrongdoing, and he and Epstein fell out in 2004 over a Palm Beach real estate deal.

But the two men were close for well over a decade, with Epstein’s infamous ‘black book’ containing 16 phone numbers for Trump.

Trump, who had divorced his first wife Ivana in 1990, organized in 1992 a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago, with 28 female contestants.

The organizer, George Houraney, who ran American Dream Enterprise, a small Florida company that staged a calendar-girl contest and other events, was according to Vanity Fair shocked to learn there were only two male guests – Trump and Epstein.

In November 1992, Trump threw a raucous party with NFL cheerleaders at his Mar-a-Lago estate, and invited Epstein.

And in 1997, the pair were photographed at a Victoria’s Secret party in New York City.

By February 2000, Trump had met Melania Knauss, and when he staged a pro-am tennis tournament at Mar-a-Lago he was photographed with Epstein, Maxwell, and Knauss.

Epstein, according to Vanity Fair, claimed to have introduced the Slovenian-born model to Trump.

‘I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,’ Trump told New York magazine in 2002.

‘He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.’

After Epstein was arrested in July 2019, Trump said he only knew Epstein because ‘everybody in Palm Beach’ did.

Trump said he had not spoken to Epstein ‘in 15 years’ due to ‘a falling out.’

‘I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you,’ Trump said, while also pointing out that Epstein was never a member of his Mar-a-Lago club.

Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion was one of several sites where he sexually abused young girls.

The waterfront estate, just over a mile from Donald Trump ‘s Mar-a-Lago, went on the market in 2020 for $21.9 million but is believed to have been sold for $18 million.
