The rise and fall of the patriotic "soldieress" star with over a million followers, now there is really something to worry about.

High heels and impeccable camouflage. The president's "bodyguard" is named "Jessica Foster", appearing in photos with Vladimir Putin, smiling next to Volodymyr Zelensky, and racking up likes in the hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately, none of this is real: "Jessica" is a character constructed with images generated by artificial intelligence, assembled to seduce the algorithm, monetize attention, and fuel a politically-identity narrative tailored for feeds. In just four months, the Instagram account surpassed one million followers, only to be removed by Instagram for violating its rules: a rise-and-fall that tells better than any essay the phase we are going through, where the economy of persuasion meets the productive ease of generative AI.

A "dream character" for a perfect information bubble

According to the Washington Post, picked up by ANSA, "Jessica Foster" is a "dream girl" Maga: a photogenic "soldieress" posing on military ships in the Strait of Hormuz, shaking hands with the powerful and attending official events. The point is that those photos, which went viral, were created with AI and do not document any real events.

The account gathered over 1,000,000 followers "in just four months", between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, thanks to hyper-realistic images and pro-Trump narratives.

After questions were sent by journalists, the person behind the profile posted a new photo on a ship on a mission; the next day the account was removed by Instagram for violating the platform's rules. The removal occurred on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

Soft-patriotism, fetishism, and monetization: the viral cocktail of 2026

Behind the "soldieress" there is more than just military aesthetics. Various outlets indicate that the profile linked to a page on OnlyFans with fetish content (feet) and tips requests, a monetization funnel perfectly integrated into the social strategy. It is soft-core patriotism: a mix of sensual images and national symbols that transforms political engagement into revenue, converting likes into money.

The profile featured "selfies" with Trump in the Oval Office, a "participation" in an alleged event called "Border of Peace" (a misspelling of the organization "Board of Peace") and even shots with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi: a progression of visual "evidence" designed to enhance the character's plausibility and its positioning within the MAGA bubble.

In some posts, revealing details – American flags drawn incorrectly, uniforms and badges worn in unlikely contexts, heels in operational scenarios – betrayed the synthetic nature of the images. The hyper-curated rendering of the scene, the perfect makeup, the catalog-style lighting, ultimately did the rest.

Why Instagram removed the profile

The removal did not occur because they were AI-generated images per se – increasingly tolerated and often only labeled by platforms – but due to a violation of rules that, overall, concerns deceptive and inauthentic behaviors. ANSA reports that Instagram's decision came after media contact and subsequent publications of the profile: which suggests that, in borderline cases, public pressure and the context of content use also weigh in. In general, Meta has long tended to label a growing number of manipulated media, rather than automatically removing them, reserving removal for specific violations (for example, coordinated inauthentic behaviors, fraud, or risk of real-world harm).

The "attention operation" works because it knows its audience

“Jessica” fits into a trend: right-wing accounts that combine patriotism and soft-porn by exploiting fake female profiles to grow their viewer base, monetize, and push political messages. The case demonstrates how economical and quick it has become to create plausible characters with AI, tailored to reinforce pre-existing beliefs and achieve record interactions. ANSA summarizes the dynamic: profiles of “female soldiers”, “female truck drivers”, “female police officers” pro-Trump, all generated by the same supply chain of artificial intelligence and attention marketing.

OnlyFans, transparency, and the gray area of AI

The bottleneck remains the human verification: OnlyFans requires that every creator be a verified individual (documents, biometric checks), while allowing some leeway for the use of AI in content, as long as it does not become deepfake of real people or material that deliberately misleads. There is no "free pass" to synthetic anonymity: the account must always lead back to a real person responsible. This is why, if the "soldieress" was indeed receiving tips on OF, there was always a human at the wheel of the operation.
