Images that went viral in September 2023 authentically showed former U.S. first lady Michelle Obama during one of her pregnancies.
Late in September 2023, shots on social media were said to show Michelle Obama while she was pregnant. One X user, who used to use Twitter, wrote captions for them. “Michelle Obama silences ALL conspiracy theorists and demands a universal apology after FINALLY releasing glowing pregnancy photos when she was expecting Sasha and Malia.”
The caption referred to a conspiracy theory that has circulated in certain circles, There is an idea going around that Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States, is a transgender woman. The caption talked about this theory. There isn’t any solid evidence for this idea or many others like it. Michelle Obama has said that she and her husband had their children through IVF.
However, one of the ideas behind that theory was that there were no pictures of her when she was pregnant with Sasha and Malia. (Although we can’t say for sure that no pictures that have been labeled as such exist or are available to the public, using open-source tools we haven’t been able to find them yet.)
In any case, it was clear that the pictures that became popular all of a sudden in September 2023 were made by artificial intelligence (AI). Such as one of Obama’s hands in one of the pictures has six fingers.

“Did she get these yesterday?” One X user asked, “Or has she always looked over 50?” This made the point that Obama would have looked much younger when she was pregnant. Also, it was clear that her face was misshapen in the shots that went viral.
