Sasha Grey has been used in a Russian propaganda campaign against Ukraine and she is niet so happy.
The Russian social media site VKontakte, which is Russia’s version of Facebook, featured the face of the porn star turned actress alongside a horrific story of a nurse being killed by Ukrainian fighters.
According to The Moscow Times, the article alleged a nurse named “Sasha Serova” was captured by Ukrainian military forces using the likeness of Sasha Grey. The article then claimed her captors filmed themselves “humiliating” her before they chopped her body up with an axe.
The post featuring Sasha Grey received over 3,500 likes on the first day and was reported on by several media outlets.
And yet, “Sasha” is alive and well.
And Furious.
The actress, who has guest-starred on Entourage, took to Twitter to vent her displeasure at being used in the conflict that has claimed more than 5,600 lived since it began in April 2014 and is a big deal to the Sasha Grey.
I <3 my Russian fans, but this propaganda takes it too far. News that I was a NURSE killed in the Russian/Ukraine conflict. #fuckpropoganda
