Friends star Michael Rapaport issues groveling apology after posting 'AI-generated' image of concentration camps


The veteran actor, 55, on Saturday took to Facebook and posted the picture in question, depicting a violin player in an Auschwitz concentration camp.

Rapaport, who's been seen in motion pictures such as True Romance, Higher Learning and Deep Blue Sea, garnered almost 9,900 likes and 1,200 shares on the image, Mediate reported, which he later apparently removed. The museum added via their Facebook page that 'publishing fake, AI-generated images' of Holocaust victims is disrespectful and harasses their memory;' and advised that 'if you see such posts, please don’t share them.' Rapaport played the role of Gary - a police officer who was dating Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) - on the NBC comedy Friends for four episodes during the show's fifth season in 1999.
