Another creator says her videos ran in ads she never approved

In Holston v. R5 Brands, filed October 9 in North Carolina, creator Amber Jordan Holston says a supplement brand used her videos, face, and voice in at least 12 paid Meta ads for a product she never used. The videos were made for a different company. The brand had not responded when the case was reported.
