She also hit back at those questioning whether the were faked with AI. She added on X: “To those insisting Freddie Mercury’s diaries were faked with AI, that his daughter ‘doesn’t exist’ and that I’ve made the whole thing up: wait and see. His true story, told in his own words, is incredible. I love him all the more for it. You will too.”
