Celebrity host Mario Lopez probably should have reconsidered hitting “post” on one of his recent social media uploads.
Lopez was in attendance as the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif. The “Saved By The Bell” actor was with his niece, Kalia, in what appeared to be a wholesome afternoon out with Uncle Mario.
Lopez even posted a video of himself soaking up some sun next to Kalia and raving about the Dodgers’ blockbuster trade for Tarik Skubal.
“Hotter than a Dodger dog on the grill out there, but the Dodgers might be even hotter,” Lopez said in the clip. “Big moves. Let’s go, Skubal. Big expectations, and I’m all-in for this postseason push. Let’s do it.”

About an hour later, Lopez posted another video on his X account. It appeared to be a different version of the first one, altered by artificial intelligence.
The strange clip showed Kalia eating two hot dogs with a lot of mustard drizzled on top. The video then zoomed into AI-Kalia’s face as she rubbed mustard all over her cheeks. Yes, the video is as strange as it sounds.
“I can’t take her anywhere!” the AI version of Lopez said in the second clip.

Whether Lopez got hacked or got roped into a social media humiliation ritual is anyone’s guess.
The Dodgers lost Sunday’s game 8-4 as the Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the defending champs.
