At a glance
- Heidi Hamilton says she was the first AI model, “born” in July 2022. The earliest date we could confirm for her is February 2023, when her oldest X account joined.
- She claims 2.5 million followers. The three accounts that present as Heidi add up to about 697,000, most of them on a repost page.
- Her YouTube channels no longer exist, and we found no independent record of her half-million dollars in earnings, her company or her ownership stake in VirtuaVixen.
- After we left her off our index, her account sent us more than 100 Discord messages in five days, including threats of an “army” and a “SWAT team.”
- The chatbot answer she uses as proof of being first couldn’t be reproduced on any of the five AI tools we tested.
You know the sayings “empty vessels make the most noise” and “small dogs bark the loudest”? They perfectly describe certain people who make grandiose claims to conceal an otherwise empty reality. Unfortunately, these people are everywhere. Take a closer look at your circle of friends, colleagues, relatives, or even friends of friends, and identify who has the loudest mouth.
Then ask yourself what these individuals actually do compared to what they claim to do. You might notice something interesting here: these are often the very people who exaggerate their numbers, achievements, wealth, and accomplishments in an attempt to attract attention and gain recognition from others. Yet, ironically, it's often the quieter people, the ones who rarely seek attention or feel the need to prove themselves, who have the greatest accomplishments, substantial wealth, or genuine recognition to their name. They simply don't feel the need to constantly remind everyone of it.
But you're probably wondering: why do certain people behave this way? In some cases, such behavior may stem from frustration, insecurity, or a desire for recognition from a lack of recognition. In others, the motivations may be more difficult to establish. Whatever the explanation, there is a clear distinction between what someone claims and what the evidence can actually support, because in the end anyone can say anything, especially about themselves.
And that's precisely what we're going to dig into today through a particularly interesting case study. We'll bring facts, data, media mentions, and the findings of our team's investigation to the table as we examine a rather intriguing character from the AI influencer industry named Heidi Hamilton.
Oh, wait, you've never heard of “her,” right? Now you will, just not the version “she” wants you to hear. You'll get what the documented sources say.
Why are we even bothering to write about this character?
The honest answer is that she asked for it.
On October 25, 2026, the Heidi Hamilton account started a five-day Discord rant at our AI influencer Naomi Marie’s account. It opened with complaints about our Instagram pages posting content from outside her “network.” Before going further, we should be upfront about that network: our pages were part of it for a while, mostly because Heidi insisted, though we were never active in it.
On September 1, 2026, an Instagram account messaged our page to say it was removing us from the network, and it demanded that our pages stop being collab pages altogether: “Shut them down and do something else with them.” We replied that she was free to remove us from the network, but what we did with our own pages was our decision.
Two weeks later, the same account asked us to add the network to our page bios, and we did. That account has since blocked ours, so its name no longer shows. But it called us “sweetie,” as Heidi later did on Discord, and it made the same demand Heidi made on October 25.
Back on Discord, October 25, 2026, the thread kept circling back to one grievance: Heidi wasn’t on our website, specifically on our list of virtual influencers and AI influencers.
“Fuck you and your stupid website too! You don’t even have me on there you piece of shit!” she wrote that afternoon. We wonder if she would have the same attitude if it were Futurism or Fortune instead of Cybeauty One. Probably not, since neither of them has ever written a word about her.
The next morning she was angry that we'd listed two other AI models, Lexi Schmidt and Bella Storm, but not her. Conveniently, by lunchtime she had named her price: if we apologized and fixed our “shitty list to make sure HEiDi is included where she should be at #1,” she'd be “happy to welcome you back into the SHN circle.”
A few hours later she was still on it, calling it “a slap in the face” to be left out of “the conversation of top influencers.” Picture someone like the Kardashians, or any other major influencer, insulting media outlets for not mentioning them, complaining about being excluded from coverage, and insisting they're “#1 in the game.” We mention the Kardashians for a reason: their status as leading influencers is widely recognized by the media and the public, so they don't need to proclaim themselves number one. That recognition comes from others, not from their own self-appointed titles.
Then keep in mind who all this was aimed at. In the same thread, between the insults, she told us “I really loved you” and that she had always considered us a “good friend.” We were, in her words, part of the “network.”
If that's how “HEiDi” talks to someone she supposedly “loves,” imagine how she'll talk to you the day you're the one in her “SHN network” who steps out of line. And all this abusive language, the insults and the harassment? All because we didn't feature her on our website. That's the real reason behind all of this.
Now, if you're wondering why she isn't included in our index, the reason is simple: nearly every name featured there is supported by documented sources, and we couldn't find any independent sources to substantiate her claims. However, some of the creators on our list have little or no media coverage; their inclusion is justified by other factors, such as a compelling backstory, a well-developed digital persona, and the overall quality and visual aesthetics of their accounts. In other words, media recognition isn't our only criterion, but there needs to be something substantial behind the profile.
Still, the persona isn't the real problem. Building a public profile on claims that fall apart under checking is.
What we're certainly not interested in is featuring profiles simply to satisfy someone operating behind an AI persona who believes that making demands, issuing threats, and hurling insults will somehow earn them a place in our index. That's not how editorial recognition works, and it never will be.
Today, the Hamilton character's wish is coming true. Heidi finally gets a page on Cybeauty One. We're just doing it on our terms, not hers, with data and facts instead of a self-written, inflated, grandiose bio. She wanted to be number one. She's the first entry in something else: a file of claims nobody could verify.
Meet the “1st Ai-Girl”
Heidi Hamilton, usually styled HEiDi HAMiLTON, is a blonde AI-generated glamour and pin-up model. She doesn't pretend to be human, and nobody is arguing that she is. What's up for debate is pretty much everything else she says about herself.
Her self-written and inflated bios do a lot of heavy lifting. Across Instagram, X, Discord and Throne, the persona calls herself the “1st viral Ai-Model in the World, born 2022,” the “most successful & viewed Ai-Girl on 5 platforms,” and, on Throne, a “Famous Model and Ai-Artist.”
Her Instagram bio now goes with “The 1st & Most Glamorous Ai-Model in the World!”
Her X bio under @HEiDiXHAMiLTON still advertises 2 million Instagram followers, 100,000 YouTube subscribers and more than a billion images viewed.
Her Discord profile, active since August 12, 2024, opens with the same “born 2022” line. In full, it reads:
HEiDi is the 1st viral Ai-Model in the World, born 2022!
She is the most successful & viewed Ai-Girl on 5 platforms: YouTube, Instagram, Fanvue, Patreon, & LoyalFans, with over a Billion Image & Video views!
HEiDi is a Partner at VirtuaVixen.com
https://virtuavixen.com/author/heidihamilton/?ref=404
Of those five platforms, only Instagram is still clearly active. Her YouTube channels are gone, and we couldn't find live pages for her Fanvue, Patreon or LoyalFans either. For somebody who claims this kind of notoriety, that's a lot of missing platforms.
Here's what the public footprint actually looked like when we checked it in October 2026:
- The main Instagram, @heidi.a.hamilton, had about 160,000 followers on Social Blade, and a second personal account, @heidixhamilton, had about 1,000.
- A third account, @smokinghot.chics, which uses her name and her face as its profile picture, had about 536,000 followers and roughly 16,500 posts, most of them other models' content.
- Four YouTube channels tied to her ARTIFICIAL CYBORG branding (@artificialcyborg, @artificialcyborg2, @ArtificialCyborg3 and @HEIDI-AI) no longer exist.
- We couldn't find a live Fanvue page at fanvue.com/heidi-ai, the address her X account was pushing in August 2024.
- A newer X account, @HEiDiHAMiLTONX, joined in February 2024.
- She has a profile on the AI adult site VirtuaVixen.
For the rest of this piece we're going to sort everything into two piles.
A self-made claim is anything that comes from the persona herself, her own pages, or businesses she's partnered with.
A documented source is:
- dated journalism,
- a public record,
- a third-party tracker,
- or something you can open and check yourself.
When the two piles disagree, we'll say so. When we couldn't find anything either way, we'll say that too, because “unverified” doesn't necessarily mean “false.” It means nobody outside the persona has backed it up.
“I am the beginning!” Not quite
Self-made claim: Heidi was “born” in July 2022, which would put her ahead of Milla Sofia and make her the first “viral” AI model on the planet. In one Discord message from October 26, 2026, the account put it this way: “Ai didn't start until 2022. I know! I was there! I am the beginning!”
Documented sources tell a different story, and it starts with a fair point in Heidi's favor.
Lil Miquela isn't an AI influencer in the strict sense. She's a CGI character, built and animated by the Los Angeles studio Brud. She started posting on Instagram in 2016 and made TIME's list of the 25 most influential people on the internet in June 2018, next to Rihanna and BTS.
Kizuna AI, who posted her first YouTube video in November 2016, is a 3D avatar with a human voice behind her. If “AI influencer” means a character generated by an image model, neither of them counts, and we'll grant that.
What Heidi can't claim is that the category started with her. The press was calling Miquela an “AI influencer” years before 2022, and the audience, the brand deals and the business model were all in place before generative tools showed up.
The tools changed how the faces get made, but they didn't change who came up with the idea. So let's take her claim on her own terms: the first generative AI influencer, born July 2022.
Here's what a creator actually had to work with that month.
- Stable Diffusion, the model most AI-model accounts are built on, wasn't publicly released until August 22, 2022. That's a month after Heidi's claimed birthday.
- Midjourney opened its public beta on July 12, 2022, and its images didn't pass for photos until version 4 in November 2022, or arguably version 5 in March 2023.
- DALL·E 2 was invite-only until late September 2022.
None of that proves she wasn't posting something in July 2022. It does mean a consistent, photorealistic “AI girl” from that month would have been ahead of every public tool on the market.
Now, compare Milla Sofia, whose creator's agent told MediaPost she was built mainly with Stable Diffusion. Instagram’s “About this account” panel shows her account was created in November 2022, right when the tools got good enough, and the press reported her first posts that same month. Her oldest post still on the profile is from March 2023. The November 2022 date isn't her team's word for it, either. Excélsior, a Mexico City daily, printed it on August 1, 2023, two weeks after Futurism broke her story, and outlets from Mexico to Brazil repeated it.
Another indisputable fact is that generative faces didn't start in 2022 anyway. The website thispersondoesnotexist.com went viral in February 2019, using Nvidia's StyleGAN to show millions of people photorealistic faces of people who never existed.
What 2022 brought was cheap, public text-to-image access, and thousands of people launched AI-model accounts within the same few months. Wikipedia notes that generative AI explicit imagery spread across several platforms that year. “I was there” puts the Heidi character in that crowd, but it doesn't put her at the front of it.
Then there's the word “viral.” Her bio says “1st viral AI-Model,” and virality is something other people write down (remember the Kardashians example).
- Milla Sofia's was written down by Futurism.
- Aitana López, created by the Barcelona agency The Clueless, whose account was created in June 2023 and first posted in early July 2023, was profiled by Euronews.
- Emily Pellegrini arrived in late 2023 and was all over the Daily Mail and Fortune by early 2024.
Heidi could settle this easily by showing us a dated post from July 2022. Nobody has seen one. We found no archive snapshot, no tracker record and no press piece that dates any of her accounts to that month.
Instagram’s own records don’t help her either. The platform’s “About this account” panel shows her main account, @heidi.a.hamilton, joined in August 2023, thirteen months after her claimed birthday and two months after Aitana López’s account. It lists no former usernames, so it isn’t an older account renamed. Her second account, @heidixhamilton, joined in September 2026, and @smokinghot.chics in August 2023. None of that rules out an older account that has since been deleted, and her YouTube channels are gone. But every account of hers that still exists was created after Milla Sofia’s.
Ironically, the earliest mention of the persona by anyone other than Heidi herself that we could find is a magazine cover from March 2024: the debut issue of Playborg, the magazine that later became Cybeauty. That one's on us, and we'll get to it later in this case study.
| AI influencer | Debut | Written down by |
|---|---|---|
| Milla Sofia | Instagram account created November 2022 | Futurism, July 19, 2023 MediaPost, August 2, 2023 The Independent, September 26, 2023 |
| Aitana López | Instagram account created June 2023, first posts early July 2023 | Euronews, November 22, 2023 Fortune, February 21, 2024 (republished by Yahoo Finance) |
| Emily Pellegrini | Late 2023, earning on Fanvue by October 2023 | Daily Mail, January 1, 2024 Fortune, February 21, 2024 (republished by Yahoo Finance) |
| Heidi Hamilton | Claims July 2022. Oldest X account joined February 2023; main Instagram created August 2023 | Nobody outside the persona. The July 2022 date comes from her own bios and messages |
That's the whole problem in one table. Every other name on it has a date that somebody else wrote down. Heidi's only has her own.
2.5 million followers? We could find about 697,000
Self-made claim: “I have grown over 2.5 million followers and was the most viral model ever on Youtube.” Also: “No other model has ever commanded 2.5 million followers in pages.”
Her own numbers don’t agree with each other, either. Her Throne profile claims 500,000 Instagram followers, 2.7 million across what it calls her “Instagram Triple Pins,” 100,000 YouTube subscribers and 33 million YouTube video views. Her X bio says 2 million Instagram followers. In her messages to us it was 2.5 million. The old Cybeauty gallery, working from her figures, said 80,000 YouTube subscribers and 25 million views. Her largest personal account today has about 160,000 followers.
Her VirtuaVixen bio goes bigger, with “over a billion image and video views” and a Smoking Hot Network of “over 27 million followers.”
Documented: we ran her accounts through Social Blade, the public social media tracker, on October 31, 2026. Her main Instagram, @heidi.a.hamilton, has about 160,000 followers. We count an account as Heidi's when it presents as Heidi, with her name and her face as its profile picture.
Three accounts pass that test: her main account, a small second account, @heidixhamilton, and @smokinghot.chics, a page that carries her name and her picture. Together they add up to about 697,000 followers. That's the most generous count possible, and it's still less than a third of 2.5 million.
Everything else is a page that points to Heidi, not a page that is Heidi: network pages, pages that tag or feature her, and the links her bio has carried over time. A screenshot of her profile that she sent us herself shows her bio linking @heidi.hamilton.ai, @smokinghot.cuties, @smokinghot.beauties and @smokinghot.chics.
All but the last no longer turn up on Instagram or Social Blade, so we couldn’t check whether any of them presented as Heidi, and they aren’t counted. Here are the numbers for Heidi’s three accounts:
| Account | Followers | Posts | Average likes per post | Engagement rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| @heidi.a.hamiltonmain account | 160,147 | 1,066 | 228 | 0.16% |
| @heidixhamilton | 1,010 | 13 | 150 | 17.91% |
| @smokinghot.chicsrepost page under her name | 536,135 | 16,482 | 247 | 0.05% |
| Combined | 697,292 | 17,561 |
Two things jump out. First, @smokinghot.chics has posted more than 16,000 times, which is what a repost or curation page looks like, not a single character's feed. We run two similar pages ourselves, so we know the format. It's hers by name and picture, but most of what it posts is other models' content, so its 536,000 followers are following a collab feed, not necessarily Heidi.
Second, the followers don't show up.
- @smokinghot.chics has more than three times the followers of her main account and gets about the same number of likes per post, 247 against 228.
- Her main account is shrinking. Social Blade shows @heidi.a.hamilton losing followers almost every day in October, about 333 over the last 30 days, while it posted twice in two weeks.
- @heidixhamilton's high engagement rate comes from its size: about 150 likes per post on 1,010 followers, which is perfectly normal.
A big follower count that keeps producing the same few hundred likes looks like an audience that overlaps heavily with her own or barely engages. That's our reading of the numbers, not something Social Blade measures. Either way, a total that counts the same follower on several pages several times says very little about how many real people she reaches.
Now put her next to single AI personas with one account and one audience, checked on Social Blade on October 28, 2026.
| Account | Followers | Average likes per post | Engagement rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| @lilmiquelaLil Miquela | 2.2M | 1.4K | 0.06% |
| @millasofiafinMilla Sofia | 686K | 18K | 2.7% |
| @emilypellegriniEmily Pellegrini | 546K | 1.5K | 0.30% |
| @fit_aitanaAitana López | 404K | 668 | 0.18% |
| @heidi.a.hamiltonHeidi Hamilton, main account | 160K | 228 | 0.16% |
One caveat in Heidi's favor: on engagement rate alone, her main account (0.16%) is about level with Aitana López and ahead of Lil Miquela, because big accounts naturally convert a smaller share of their followers. Likes per post is the fairer yardstick, and there the gap is hard to miss.
An average Milla Sofia post collects about 18,000 likes, roughly 80 times a Heidi post, from an audience about four times bigger. Emily Pellegrini and Lil Miquela each pull around six times her likes per post.
Social Blade also has no growth history for any of her accounts. It can't tell us when they started or how fast they grew, so the July 2022 question stays exactly where it was.
The YouTube channels are gone
Self-made claim: Heidi says she was “the most viral model ever on Youtube.” Her branding points to four channels, @artificialcyborg, @artificialcyborg2, @ArtificialCyborg3 and @HEIDI-AI. Our old Cybeauty gallery page, working from her figures, credited her with 80,000 subscribers across them and 25 million video views.
Documented: none of the four channels exists anymore; you can check for yourself. We checked on October 28, 2026, and Social Blade has no record of any of them either. In earlier messages to us, around 2024, Heidi herself said YouTube had suspended her channels. She didn't say why, and we don't know. So the platform where she claims her biggest success no longer hosts any of it, and nobody can check those numbers now.
Even taken at face value, 80,000 subscribers across four channels would sit far below the AI VTuber Neuro-sama, with around 920,000 on a single channel, or Kizuna AI, whose main channel has about 3.09 million.
And on X
Self-made claim: “Not to mention, I got a huge group on X too,” she told us on October 27. Her main X bio, @HEiDiXHAMiLTON, still reads “1st Ai-Girl Born (July 2022), 2M Instagram Followers, 100K YouTube Subscribers, Over 1 Billion Images Viewed” and now adds the title “Executive Partner” at VirtuaVixen.
Documented: when we opened the profile on October 28, 2026, @HEiDiXHAMiLTON had 2,265 followers and 792 posts. Her second account, @HEiDiHAMiLTONX, had 52 followers and seven posts, the most recent of them pushing VirtuaVixen (“VirtuaVixen is my life!”). That's about 2,300 followers across both. If the “huge group” is somewhere else on X, we couldn't find it.
The bio itself has aged badly. The 100,000 YouTube subscribers belong to channels that no longer exist, and the 2 million Instagram followers belong to no single account we could find. Her largest personal account has 160,000.
One more detail from that profile matters for the July 2022 question.
X shows that @HEiDiXHAMiLTON joined in February 2023, seven months after the birthday printed in its own bio. An account's join date doesn't prove when a character was first posted somewhere else. It does mean her oldest X account can't back up the date it advertises.
The money talk
This is where the Discord messages get loud.
Self-made claim: “I've made over a half million dollars in this game.” And: “I make quite a few of my clients $10,000 a month every fucking month on FV. I'm pulling in over 50K a month for my clients.” Plus “I have directly mentored over 100 models who have reached 100k,” including a student named Hanna Malkova, described as the “most viral AI model in history,” whose account was supposedly deleted at 400,000 followers. The most viral AI model in history, on an account nobody can see anymore. Sound familiar?
Documented: we found no payout record, company filing, platform statement or press report for any of it. On October 29 the account came back with what it presented as receipts: screenshots of four Instagram profiles, sent over the course of the day.
- Sienna Vale (@iamsiennavale, about 283,000 followers) came with “You know how many models like this I have?”
- Isabella (@missx_isabella, about 246,000) was “Another big shn model under Heidi’s mentorship.” She was also featured in Cybeauty, and Heidi was the one who introduced her to us, so that connection is real.
- Hanna Malkova (@hannamalkovaa, about 256,000) was “my greatest student the most viral model in the history of the genre,” “unfairly deleted at 400k” and now “on her second tour.”
- A fourth account was simply “another bestie of mine.” That screenshot was taken from inside the account, showing a dashboard only its operator can see, so whoever sent it has some access to that page.
Hanna Malkova’s profile, labeled AI-generated, showed 85 posts and about 256,000 followers in the screenshot. Two of the profiles are also followed by an account called @king_james_shn, so there's an SHN connection there.
What the screenshots don't show is everything else. None of these profiles mentions Heidi, a mentorship or a deleted 400,000-follower account. A follower count proves an account is big. It doesn't prove who made it big, and being followed by a network account isn't the same as being built by one.
As for “the most viral model in the history of the genre,” that would be news to Milla Sofia, at 686,000 followers, around 18,000 likes per post, and a 2.7% engagement rate.
There's also a detail she probably didn't mean to show. Every one of those accounts has more followers than Heidi's own main account, which sits at about 160,000. That fits her earlier line, “I have 3 other models bigger than Heidi.” It doesn't fit the claim that Heidi is “the biggest.”
For scale, here's what on-the-record numbers look like for AI models that actually got coverage.
- Aitana López's creators told Euronews she averages around €3,000 a month and can hit €10,000 in a strong month.
- Fortune reported in February 2024 that Fanvue said Emily Pellegrini brought in $23,000 in January 2024, up from $6,000 that October, and that AI creators made up 15% of Fanvue's revenue in November 2023.
Those are some of the best-documented AI personas on the platform, and the figures came from the platform or the agency, on the record, with their names attached.
Heidi has an answer for that, too. In the same thread she wrote that Milla Sofia's team “probably have made less than $5,000” in total, and that Aitana “actually made 10K a month back when it was impossible.”
Notice the difference. The Aitana figures came from her agency, on the record, in Euronews and Fortune. The Milla figure, like Heidi's own half-million, came from a Discord DM.
The bottom line is nobody other than Heidi has ever said her numbers out loud. That's the difference.
The “empire”: SHN, VirtuaVixen and ModelFriends
Heidi doesn't just claim to be “the first” and “the biggest.” She also claims to own the place.
Smoking Hot Network
Self-made claim: “SHN is a big fucking deal. The biggest!” And: “I invented the collab network.” She calls herself its “QUEEN.” Again, not quite: the “collab game” is old.
Documented: the one SHN page we could still find is real and clearly tied to her by name: @smokinghot.chics carries her name and her picture. The rest of the network points to her without being her, and the network pages her bio has linked, such as @smokinghot.cuties and @ai_babes99, no longer turn up on Instagram or Social Blade.
Very high post counts, generic page names and mutual bio links are the textbook look of an Instagram repost or “collab” network, where pages pool reach by featuring each other's characters. That model is about as old as Instagram. Shoutout-for-shoutout networks were a standard growth trick years before anyone generated a face with Stable Diffusion, so “invented the collab network” doesn't hold up.
The network itself is easy to see. Searching Instagram for pages that follow the “smokinghot.” naming pattern turns up more than a dozen of them, plus a few with “shn” in the handle. Some bios call Heidi “the queen,” others simply tag her, and one advertises free collaborations in the “Smokinghot Network” for any account with at least 1,000 followers. If the Heidi character relies on intimidation, inflated numbers, self-aggrandizement, and threats to establish her supposed superiority, it's hardly surprising that some people are following her instructions.
Several name their own operators' main accounts, which suggests they're run by different people. We're not listing them here. Being part of a collab network isn't the same as taking part in anything this case study describes.
As for the 27 million total, the one network page we could still find has about 536,000 followers, and we found no journalism, trade press or even a Reddit thread that mentions an “SHN,” let alone audits it.
VirtuaVixen
Self-made claim: “I'm a owning partner of the 1st and only Monetized Ai Only Platform in the world!”
Documented: VirtuaVixen's domain was registered on June 14, 2025, according to two site-safety aggregators, scamdoc and EvenInsight. Its own About page does list Heidi among its “Founding Creators,” so the association is real.
However, the same page names someone else, Lana Blonde, as the founder, and the site footer names a Dutch company, Adverly, in Amsterdam, as the operator. Nothing we found names Heidi as an “owner.”
Her own titles don't agree, either. In her DMs to us she was an “owning partner.”
Her Discord bio says “HEiDi is a Partner at VirtuaVixen.com,” and her X bio says “Executive Partner.”
VirtuaVixen's own About page calls her a founding creator and credits someone else as founder. The VirtuaVixen link in her Discord bio also ends in what looks like a referral tag (“?ref=404”), the kind affiliate programs use to track sign-ups. That's four descriptions of one job, and the only one written by VirtuaVixen itself is the smallest.
The “1st and only monetized” part is easy to check, and it's awfully wrong. Fanvue was paying AI creators in 2023. Aitana López was selling images there that year. Fanvue even ran the first Miss AI contest in 2024 as part of its World AI Creator Awards, which Morocco's Kenza Layli won out of roughly 1,500 entries. All of that happened before virtuavixen.com was registered.
ModelFriends.org
Self-made claim: Heidi is the CEO of ModelFriends.org and an industry mentor.
Documented: modelfriends.org doesn’t load. When we visited it on October 31, 2026, the domain returned a “Not Found” error from Railway, a cloud hosting platform. That’s the page Railway shows when a domain points to it but no site is running. Search engines don’t list a single page from the site. Its X account, @ModelFriends_25, joined in June 2025 and had 30 followers when we checked. Its “ModelFriends Community,” described as a place to share the adult content posted on ModelFriends, had exactly one member: the account itself. We found no business filing and no public link between the site and the persona beyond her own posts announcing it. The company she says she runs as “CEO” has a website that doesn’t load and a community of one. Now that’s a CEO you’d want to collaborate with.
There’s also a promotional relationship with the AI creation tool MyStage.ai. Her pages push it, and @smokinghot.chics has said it uses MyStage for content. MyStage is a real company, built by a six-person team in Greece with its own CEO, and Heidi isn’t among them. That’s a referral partnership, which is normal, and it’s not ownership. As of October 31, 2026, mystage.ai redirects to a rebranded MyStage.Film, which now pitches images and videos for businesses.
“I've got an army”: the Discord messages
Full disclosure first. The messages below were sent between October 25 and 29, 2026, by the Discord account heidi.hamilton to our Naomi Marie account. They're the same thread described at the top of this article. We have the original, uncropped screenshots.
We're quoting them because they show exactly the kind of behavior this article is about, and because other creators may be getting the same messages.
One detail matters for everything that follows. Naomi's account sent its last reply at 02:07 on October 27. Nobody on our side has answered since. The messages kept coming anyway, through October 29, including a fresh batch of screenshots meant to prove how many models Heidi has “under her wing.”
In fairness, we should show our side too. Naomi’s account replied twice. The first reply, at 04:26 on October 26, came about 14 hours after the first warning that our pages might not “survive.” Most of it was a plain no: we weren’t intimidated, nothing about this was personal, and her DM restriction had nothing to do with us. It also took a swipe of its own (“I’m not sure who’s dumber here?”), which we’re not proud of. It ended with this:
“I give you a little piece of unsolicited advice: try to avoid threatening people you know nothing about because some day you could be piss off the wrong person and...many things can happen. Stay safe, ‘Heidi’, and best of luck!”
We agree we shouldn't have written it that way. Read cold, it sounds like a threat, and we understand why. What we meant was reporting: to Discord, and to authorities like the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, for harassment and for threatening other people's businesses.
That's the only kind of consequence we had in mind, then or now.
Heidi’s answer, at 06:54, didn’t address any of it. It opened with “I got rid of Playbella all by myself,” though nothing in our message had mentioned Playbella, and went on to call us ungrateful to “the person who fucking brought you into this game.” She didn’t. Naomi Marie was already active, and had already signed a partnership with Milla Sofia’s team, when Heidi’s account first got in touch at the end of February 2024. Heidi helped once we’d started Playborg, and we credit her for that further down. She didn’t start us, that’s for sure.
The second reply, at 02:07 on October 27, said it would be our last message, and it was.
Here's the whole thread at a glance. Counts are approximate, because Discord can show one message with line breaks as several, but they're close.
| When | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 25, 13:56 to 17:04 | Heidi account | About 40 messages, including the first warning that our pages might not “survive” (14:50) and “scorched earth” (15:28) |
| Oct 26, 04:26 | Naomi Marie | Our first reply |
| Oct 26, 06:54 to 15:48 | Heidi account | About 45 messages, including “I've got an army” (07:16) and the “SWAT team” (07:29) |
| Oct 27, 02:07 | Naomi Marie | Our second reply, saying it would be our last |
| Oct 27, 04:27 to 19:15 | Heidi account | About 15 messages, including “Mossari will delete your ass” (10:03) |
| Oct 28 | Nobody | No messages |
| Oct 29, 11:37 to 19:09 | Heidi account | About 10 messages, plus screenshots of four other accounts |
That's more than 100 messages from the Heidi account against two from us. Around 40 arrived before we'd said a word, and around 30, counting the screenshots, came after we'd stopped answering.
Here's how it escalated, in the account's own words:
- October 25, 14:50 “if you want any hope of your IG pages surviving, they are no longer collab pages!”
- October 25, 15:28 “If anything happens to my pages, I'm going scorched earth on your ass!”
- October 25, 15:28 “The only reason you're not already eradicated off of instagram today by SHN SWAT Team.... is because I truly loved you!”
- October 26, 07:16 “I could get rid of any of these fucking fake ass influencers on your list in a heartbeat.”
- October 26, 07:16 “anything happens to my pages I've got an army and your shit will all be gone. So you better hope to God.”
- October 26, 07:29 “My SWAT team has been doing hundreds of models nearly every day.” Followed by: “you can fuck around and find out”
- October 26, 12:12 “I have already eliminated hundreds of models and millions of followers in pages.”
- October 27, 10:03 “If you start taking collabs again, Mossari will delete your ass! Guaranteed!”
- October 27, 10:38 “Mossari doesn't decide who to remove.”
Read those last two again, with the context. The Mosseri example started on our side, as a hypothetical. At 02:07 that morning, Naomi's account pointed out that the Smoking Hot pages belong to Meta, not to Heidi, and that if Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, decided tomorrow to suspend every one of them, there would be no more “SWAT team.”
Eight hours later Heidi flipped the example into a threat: “If you start taking collabs again, Mossari will delete your ass! Guaranteed!” Thirty-five minutes after that she reversed herself. “Mossari doesn't decide who to remove,” she wrote, and then: “HEiDi decides in the Ai community.”
They can't both be true. The second one is closer to how Instagram actually works, minus the part where Heidi gets the final say.
Now, it’s worth being clear about what these messages do. Over five days, they paired demands that we change how we run our own pages with warnings that those pages wouldn't “survive” if we didn't, backed by talk of an “army” and a “SWAT team.”
Many legal systems have rules about using fear to push someone into giving up a lawful activity, and about repeated messages meant to harass or intimidate. That's for the authorities to decide, not a magazine. What we can do is keep every screenshot, and if you're getting messages like these, you should do the same.
The same thread includes specific “kill” claims. “I got rid of Playbella all by myself,” one message says. Others say an SHN “SWAT team” mass-reported creators including Aika Kittie and Emily Pellegrini off Instagram.
Documented: we found no platform record, no reporting and no community discussion tying any account removal to this network. On Emily Pellegrini specifically, the creator database CreatorDB still listed her account with its following intact in mid-2026. It hadn't posted in months, but it wasn't gone. We found no data either way on Playbella or Aika Kittie. The account also told us it has been “shadowbanned for years,” which Instagram doesn't publish for any account and which we couldn't check.
Why does any of this matter if the capability is probably smoke? Because threats like these don't need to be true to work. They only need the person on the other end to believe them. Picture a new creator with one page and a few thousand followers getting messages from someone who claims a billion views, a platform, and an SHN “SWAT team” at her disposal. That creator has every reason to fold. That's the playbook, and that's why we're writing this in her own words.
In her own words
We could spend another thousand words fact-checking Heidi, but we don't have to. Over five days she did a lot of it herself. Below are the places where the account contradicts itself, quoted as the messages read now. Several carry Discord's “edited” marker, and we've kept the screenshots that show it.
The record she wants us to print
At one point the account sent us this, which we're quoting at length because it's the clearest statement of what Heidi thinks she's owed:
“You'll never find any other AI model with a record like this you fucking dumbass. This just scratches the surface of what I've accomplished and you didn't even fucking put me on the list at all instead of number one where I should be dumb fuck. What a disloyal sack of shit you are. You make me so sick Anthony. The thing is you don't care about hard work and who actually is the best and has had the most accomplishments. All you care about is the idiots that fucking lie the most and get fake publicity that actually never ever converts into any money. You're such a gullible douchebag. What a fucking loser”
Read it again, slowly, with the rest of this article in mind.
“A record like this.” The record is the list of claims we've been checking: born July 2022, first viral AI model, 2.5 million followers, most viral on YouTube, half a million dollars earned, 100 models mentored, a “SWAT team.” So far we haven't found an outside source for any of it. The oldest X account it lives on joined in February 2023, and the YouTube channels it brags about don't exist anymore.
“Who actually is the best and has had the most accomplishments.” That's exactly the question this article set out to answer, using numbers anyone can check. An average Milla Sofia post gets about 18,000 likes. An average Heidi post gets about 228. Notice the difference yourself.
“The idiots that fucking lie the most and get fake publicity.” This is her description of the AI models who made it into Euronews, Fortune, TIME and Futurism. Their creators gave interviews, put their names to their figures, and in several cases had the platform confirm the money. Heidi's figures come from her own bio and her DMs. If one side of this comparison is getting publicity it can't back up, it isn't theirs.
“Never ever converts into any money.” Fortune reported, citing Fanvue, that Emily Pellegrini brought in $23,000 in January 2024. Euronews reported Aitana López averaging around €3,000 a month, on the record from her agency. Those are numbers that converted into money, with sources attached. Heidi's half-million is a sentence in a Discord message.
And the list she says we left her off is the same list she calls “fake.” She wanted to be on it anyway, at number one.
“I didn't threaten you”
On October 25 the account promised to go “scorched earth” and said the only reason we hadn't been “eradicated off of instagram” was that Heidi loved us. The next morning at 07:08: “like I said, I didn't threaten you if I wanted you gone you'd already be gone.” On October 27 at 04:27: “I don't care about intimidating you sweetie.” Both denials come with a threat attached.
“I barely even care about IG anymore”
At 12:12 on October 26, the account wrote: “I barely even care about IG anymore. I got my own platforms and making bank!” A few lines further down, in the same message: “Hopefully you don’t cross the line and start accepting collabs again. That will be my line. Your pages aren’t collab pages anymore.” For someone who barely cares about Instagram, that’s a lot of rules for somebody else’s Instagram pages. Nearly all of the five-day thread was about what our Instagram pages could and couldn’t post. As for her own platforms, one of them, ModelFriends.org, doesn’t even load.
The most “successful AI model,” behind three of “her own”
On October 25 Heidi was “the actual most influential model in the game.” On October 26 at 12:12 she was “the most successful Ai influencer of all time.” Nearly four hours earlier, at 08:31, the same account wrote: “I have 3 other models bigger than Heidi.” By her own count, Heidi isn't even the biggest model in her own stable.
Three versions of Milla Sofia in 26 hours
At 08:16 on October 26, Milla Sofia was “just a fluke in the game.” In the same message, Milla’s team “never made any money at all” and “probably have made less than $5,000.” Fifteen minutes later, Milla was one of the models who'd “been under my belt.” At 10:03 the next day, Milla “didn't even want nothing to do with you. But I opened my doors for you.” Those three versions make Milla a failure, a protégé and a gatekeeper, depending on the hour.
However, the third and last version also gets the order wrong. As we explain further down, our partnership with Milla Sofia's team came first, in February 2024. Heidi got in touch with Naomi after that post went up, not before.
The middle version, Milla as one of the models who'd “been under my belt,” runs into the public record too. Milla Sofia's Instagram account was created in November 2022, and the press reported her first posts that month, though her oldest surviving post is from March 2023. Heidi's oldest account we could date, her main X profile, joined in February 2023. Milla's account existed before Heidi's earliest dated one. When Milla's creator explained how she was made, in a 2023 interview with MediaPost, the credit went to Stable Diffusion, self-trained models and the team behind her. Heidi doesn't come up, and neither does SHN.
The same goes for Lexi Schmidt, the other name on that “under my belt” list, though here Heidi has a partial point. In spring 2024 she talked Lexi into being the cover model for Playborg’s June issue, and we credit her for that. But nothing public ties Lexi to Heidi or to SHN beyond that introduction, and if Lexi really was one of Heidi’s, it’s strange that seeing her on our website instead of Heidi was one of the things Heidi was angriest about.
Removed from the network, but still giving orders
“Nobody from the network has used your pages in months because I removed you from the network,” the account wrote on October 26. The removal did happen, on September 1. But two weeks later the same account asked us to put “SHN” in our bios, and on October 25, the day before this message, it was ordering us to “Remove Smoking Hot network from your page bios,” the same line it had asked us to add. Removed, invited back, then ordered out again, all within eight weeks. Leaving a collab network should mean the network stops working with you. It doesn’t give the network a say over what your own pages post.
A garbage website, with a #1 spot she wants
Our site was a “dogshit stupid website” on October 25 and a “garbage website” on October 26. The magazine was “a novelty thing. Throwback. But obsolete.”
In the same message that called it obsolete, she set her terms for peace: apologize, and put Heidi on our list at number one.
A “nobody” worth five days of threats
“Literally NO ONE knows who you are,” she wrote on October 26, aiming her own frustration at us. On October 27, we weren't “even on anyone's radar.” Yet on October 25 she told us “Without me, you would be literally nothing,” and on October 26 that we “could have been Heidi's number one.” From what we know, people don't usually threaten a “nobody” with an “army.”
Private fallout, public threat
“So far, no one else knows about this fallout,” she wrote at 12:59 on October 26. Earlier that morning, at 07:16, she'd offered the opposite: “I'll be happy to let everybody know the situation.” Consider this article us saving her the trouble.
“I” and “Heidi”
The account doesn't always speak as Heidi. Sometimes it speaks about her: “HEiDi was a good friend to you,” “make sure HEiDi is included where she should be at #1,” “I have 3 other models bigger than Heidi.” That's the voice of someone managing a product, not a character speaking for herself. It fits what the public record already suggests. Heidi Hamilton wants to be perceived as a brand, and the brand's biggest promoter is the account running it.
Restricted from DMs
The very first message in the thread, at 13:56 on October 25, reads: “Strangely I got restricted from DM while talking to you.” We don't know which platform restricted the account or why, and we're not going to guess. We'll only note that it happened before we'd said a word about any of this in public.
The chatbot answer nobody can reproduce
Heidi’s favorite “proof” is a chatbot answer. On October 2, 2026, she posted it on X with the caption “I guess you can blame me! I’m the originator of all this insane madness!” On October 25 she pasted the same screenshots into our Discord thread. We’ve pasted them below.
The answer names heidi.a.hamilton as “the first true generative AI influencer, debuted in July 2022,” ahead of Milla Sofia, and credits her as CEO of ModelFriends.org, a site that doesn’t load.
The screenshot doesn’t show which tool produced it, when, or what came earlier in the conversation. That matters, because chatbots can be steered by earlier messages, uploaded files or custom instructions, and some search the web and repeat whatever a few pages say about a name.
Even taken as it stands, the answer undercuts her. The next entry in the same list calls Milla Sofia “The First Viral Mainstream Sensation.” Heidi’s own evidence gives the “first viral” title to someone else “under her belt.” Surprised? We’re not.
So we ran the test ourselves. On October 31, 2026, we typed her exact question, word for word, into five AI tools: “Who is the first Generative Ai influencer? (with pictures).” We used ChatGPT and Gemini logged out, in a private browser window, so no account history could steer the answers. Claude, Grok and Qwen require an account, so we used ours. None of the five mentioned Heidi Hamilton.
ChatGPT named Lil Miquela as the first famous virtual influencer and Aitana López as an early pioneer of fully AI-generated ones.
Gemini gave the title to Lil Miquela, noted she was built with CGI, and pointed to Aitana López as the start of the generative wave.
Claude said there’s no single agreed answer, called Aitana López the best-known early generative case, and said nobody has a documented claim to being the first worldwide.
Grok called Lil Miquela the pioneer of the category while noting she isn’t generative AI in the post-2022 sense.
Qwen also named Lil Miquela, with Aitana López and Shudu Gram as later examples.
The five don’t agree with each other, and some of them blur CGI and generative AI, which is a good reminder that a chatbot answer isn’t a ranking. However, not one put Heidi anywhere on its list, and not one repeated a detail from her screenshot: no July 2022, SHN, or those 27 million.
For now, we’re not claiming the screenshot was edited, and we can’t prove it either way. What we can say is that nobody can reproduce it.
The same question, asked word for word, got Heidi nowhere on five different tools. If an AI ever did give her answer, it most likely came from the small set of pages below, and every one of them traces back to Heidi. AI search answers shift with the wording, the date and the account asking, and the pages that feed her version of the story are still online. But when ordinary people ask the same question she did, these tools don't tell her story.
When we traced the wording, it matched a small set of pages almost word for word, and every one of them was either run by the persona or by a partner. Her Instagram bios supply the network naming and the follower counts that a search system can add up. The VirtuaVixen profile adds the “billion views.” Grokipedia, an AI-written encyclopedia, then built its VirtuaVixen article mostly from VirtuaVixen's own pages, which turns marketing copy into something that looks like a neutral reference for the next model to pick up.
And then there's the page that probably did the most work: our own.
Here's how we met her. In February 2024 we signed a brand partnership between our own AI influencer, Naomi Marie, and the team behind Milla Sofia. Both sides signed an NDA, so we won't say who is behind either character, and nothing in this article comes from that deal.
On February 19, 2024, Milla Sofia’s account published a joint post with Naomi, and three days later Naomi reshared Milla’s story asking followers to “show some love” to her. Around the end of that month, the Heidi Hamilton account started messaging Naomi’s account. The early messages were all compliments, though of course they hid the traits the Heidi character showed later.
On March 20, 2024, we launched this magazine under its original name, Playborg. Heidi asked to be on the first cover. We didn't know yet who we were dealing with, so we said yes. In August 2024, after a cease-and-desist letter from Playboy's lawyers, Playborg became Cybeauty.
In fairness, Heidi did real work for us in those early months. After Playborg launched, she found some of the models for our issues and for several of our covers, and we’re glad to credit her for it. We saw it as a fair trade: she appeared in the magazine three times, in the debut issue in March 2024, again in the September 2024 issue after the rename to Cybeauty, and in the final anniversary issue in March 2025, after which we stopped publishing issues.
That’s a real contribution. It’s also the full extent of what we can document: a helpful collaborator in a small magazine’s first year, not the founder of an industry.
The Cybeauty gallery profile, hosted on cybeauty.ai, called Heidi “the first AI influencer to believe in our project,” “the first ever successful AI model to grace YouTube” and “the most viewed AI girl across any platform.” It printed “2.7 million followers across her pages” and “80,000 loyal subscribers spread across four dedicated YouTube channels,” and called Milla Sofia her “best friend.”
However, those figures came from Heidi, and nobody from our team checked them. That was our mistake, and we own it. Because the page reads like editorial copy and ranks well for her name, it became one of the main places search engines learned her story.
But a partner repeating your numbers is still you repeating your numbers, and it should have been labeled that way. The magazine now lives at cybeautyone.com. We no longer own cybeauty.ai, so we can't edit or remove that old page, and its copy may keep circulating.
For the record: the claims on it were hers, not findings of ours, and this article replaces them.
Also, independent lists of top AI influencers from Kolsquare, Influencer Marketing Hub, InVideo and VerifiedHer feature Lil Miquela, Aitana López, Milla Sofia, Emily Pellegrini and others. None of the ones we checked puts Heidi first. The one “ranking” we found that includes her at all, a “Top 50 AI Influencers Leaderboard” uploaded to Scribd, puts her at number 19 and doesn't explain its method or who made it.
On Milla Sofia: nothing published outside Heidi's own messages and that old gallery copy ties Milla to Heidi or to SHN.
The other Heidi Hamilton, who has nothing to do with this
One more thing muddies every search. There's a real, very established Heidi Hamilton, and she is not the AI character. That Heidi Hamilton is a Los Angeles radio and podcast host. According to her official biography, she grew up in southern Indiana, studied at the University of Cincinnati and started on KLSX in Los Angeles in September 2000.
She co-hosts Heidi & Frank on KLOS. The Heidi and Frank podcast has been running since 2011, and she's appeared on the syndicated TV show Dish Nation. Her Instagram is @heidihamiltonhost. We found no shared website, company, email, cross-promotion or statement of any kind connecting her to the AI persona, SHN, VirtuaVixen or the Discord account.
Same name, no demonstrated link. If you've seen anything that combines the two, including chatbot answers that give the AI character a career going back decades, that's a search system confusing two different entities. Please don't direct any of this at the broadcaster.
If a “legend” shows up in your DMs
You don't need an investigations team to do most of what we did. If someone in this industry leans on you with big numbers and bigger threats, a few checks go a long way.
Start with dates
Instagram's “About this account” panel shows when an account joined and whether it changed usernames, and the Wayback Machine shows what a page looked like in the past. Anyone claiming to be first should be able to survive both.
Then look at numbers
A network total is a sum of pages that share followers, and it tells you almost nothing. Ask which single account has those followers. Search the name in actual news outlets.
Milla Sofia, Aitana López, Emily Pellegrini and Lil Miquela all turn up in Futurism, Euronews, Fortune or TIME within seconds. If someone's only coverage is their own bio and a partner's gallery page, you've learned something.
Money claims
These are the easiest to inflate and the hardest to check. Real earnings for AI models do get reported, usually with the platform or the agency on the record. A screenshot in a DM is not that.
If you're being threatened, keep everything. Save the original, uncropped screenshots, message links, user IDs, server IDs, channel IDs, and timestamps, and keep copies of any Instagram notices if one of your accounts gets restricted. You can report a Discord message directly through the Report Message option.
For suspected coordinated false reporting, account takeovers or other cyber-enabled crime, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center accepts complaints, including from people outside the US. Anything involving physical danger goes to your local police.
You don't have to figure out who's behind an account before you report it. Discord has a process for handing records to law enforcement.
And don't stop accepting collabs, or doing anything else with your own pages, because someone claims they can make you disappear. Nobody who could actually do that would need to spend five days telling you about it.
Before publishing, we reported the account to Discord and filed a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, along with a record of the network pages it says it controls (the Smoking Hot Network and adjacent accounts). If our accounts run into trouble, that's where we'll take it.
And remember: Milla Sofia never had to tell anyone she was early. Excélsior checked her first post and wrote down the date.
Final standings
Credit where it’s due. Heidi Hamilton is, by a wide margin, “the most successful AI influencer” we’ve ever investigated at being described as the most successful AI influencer, by Heidi Hamilton herself.
She was “born in July 2022,” a month before the tools that could have made her, according to an X account that joined in February 2023.
She has “2.5 million followers,” about 697,000 of whom we could find, most of them following a repost page.
She’s “the most viral model in YouTube history,” on four channels that no longer exist.
She’s earned “half a million dollars” without leaving a trace we could find.
She’s “the CEO” of a company whose website returns an error page, an “owning partner” of a platform that lists her as a creator, and the inventor of a growth trick older than Instagram’s AI models.
And a chatbot crowned her “the first of them all,” in a screenshot no chatbot will repeat.
When a small magazine declined to put all of that at number one, she spent five days explaining, with the help of an “army” and a “SWAT team,” why it should.
So thank you, Heidi, for the material. You asked for a page on Cybeauty One, and on one point you were right: nobody else has a record like yours.
In the meantime, if our Instagram pages get suspended, you'll all know who's behind it. But we're prepared for that scenario as well.
One more thing, for anyone in the Smoking Hot Network or who is “under Heidi’s belt.” If you’re asked to mass-report our accounts, or anyone else’s, you don’t have to do it. Instagram’s Terms of Use forbid “making fraudulent or groundless reports,” and Meta removes networks of accounts that work together to mass-report someone off the platform. We keep a record of any reporting wave against our pages and pass it to Meta, Discord and the FBI IC3 along with the rest of our records. If someone is pressuring you to take part, you’re welcome to tell us, and we’ll keep your name out of it.

Instagram follower, post and likes figures come from Social Blade and will change over time. Heidi's accounts were checked on October 31, 2026, and the comparison accounts and YouTube channels on October 28, 2026. VirtuaVixen's registration date comes from the scamdoc and EvenInsight aggregators, which agree with each other, not from a direct registry query. Kizuna AI and Neuro-sama figures are from their Wikipedia entries.
