Does a real photo show a crisis actor laughing while a makeup artist puts fake blood on his face before he pretended to be a victim of the Bondi Beach terror attack? No, that"s not true: This is an AI-generated image made to support a flag narrative about the Bondi Beach terror attack. The picture is based on the likeness of a man who really was grazed by a bullet at Bondi Beach and was interviewed at the scene, but the fake image shows signs of being AI-generated, especially in the t-shirt graphics and blood stains.
The fake image appeared in a post (archived here ) published by @JeffreyxEpstein on X on Dec. 15, 2025 . It was captioned:
The fact that they fulled all of us again, says that we are still very retarded Goyim. It was all fake. They were actors.
This is the image included with the post:

This image is not real, and shows glitches typical of AI-generated images.
The fake image (detail below right) was based on the likeness of human rights lawyer, Arsen Ostrovsky. The bloodstains and the graphics on the t-shirt do not match the shirt Ostrovsky was wearing in 9News Australia footage (screenshot detail below left). The shirt has the words "United States Marines" and the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem of the United States Marine Corps. The fake image has partly formed text that mimics, but does not duplicate the real text, and the logo is indecipherable. There were some scattered blood drops around the neckline of the t-shirt, but the fake image shows a heavy stain at the neckline that was not there.

Ostrovsky took a selfie (pictured below) as he was on the ground, his scalp and face covered in blood after his head was grazed by a bullet. This real image has been widely publicized and appeared in a Dec. 14, 2025 New York Post article about the Bondi Beach terror attack (archived here ).

Ostrovsky posted about his experience on X and updated (archived here ) from the hospital (pictured below) on Dec. 15, 2025. In a previous post from Dec. 14, 2025 he wrote (archived here ):
I lived through Oct 7th. Never imagined I"d see this horror in Australia.
Bullet grazed my head. Doctors said miracle survived, but will make recovery.
Tonight is 1st night of Chanukah. The forces of darkness and hate will never triumph. We will prevail.
