Passes Addresses Misinformation and Meritless Lawsuit Against the Company

Published

on

Passes refutes any claims that it approved or condoned the posting of underage explicit content on its platform

The safety of creators on its platform is Passes’ top priority and the company actively works to ensure compliance with its policies

Passes is pursuing all legal avenues to hold those accountable including those who have perpetuated this false narrative

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, creator technology platform Passes released the following statement in response to false allegations about the Company and its founder, Lucy Guo.

Passes refutes any claims that it approved or condoned the posting of underage explicit content on its platform.

Passes was founded in 2022 to empower creators by enabling them to tap into their audience to create meaningful sources of income. Passes prides itself on delivering a world-class product and fostering a safe, creator-first platform with the best trust and safety measures available. In line with its mission, Passes forbids the uploading of explicit content and actively works to identify and remove any violations of its guidelines.

In recent weeks, Passes has been accused of encouraging or authorizing creators to post explicit content on its site, including in a recent lawsuit in Florida. To be clear, any claim that Passes approved or condoned the posting of explicit content from any user, particularly a minor, on its platform is categorically false and recklessly disregards the truth. The assertion that Passes would bypass its safeguards to encourage anyone to violate the company’s Terms of Service and post explicit content directly contradicts Passes’ entire business ethos. Passes has built a world-class content screening process to prevent such actions from occurring.

Passes has and will continue to defend itself against these meritless claims. To set the record straight, a Florida lawsuit was filed only after opposing counsel first demanded millions from the company, which Passes refused to pay. Now, plaintiff’s counsel and others have resorted to spreading these false allegations in the media and behind the scenes to third parties before Passes has the opportunity in court to prove that the allegations in the complaint are baseless.

To be clear, the allegations in that lawsuit are appalling. Passes denounces the actions allegedly taken by the plaintiff’s talent management, Alec Celestin and his assistant. Neither Celestin nor his assistant were acting on Passes’ behalf or with its approval. Rather, they were intentionally deceiving Passes and violating its rules. Any effort to attribute their misconduct to Passes is baseless and nothing more than an effort to entangle Passes and its founder, Lucy Guo, in the lawsuit.

Passes has zero tolerance for bad actors who attempt to violate its policies and is fully committed to holding the perpetrators of these malicious activities accountable. Given the misrepresentations, Passes has cut ties with Celestin and his agency. The company is currently exploring all legal options for holding them accountable as well as those who have perpetuated this false narrative about the company.

It appears that Passes’ competitors have turned Celestin’s misconduct into a smear campaign to discredit Passes, its founder, and its status as the premier creator platform. Unlike some of its peers, Passes does not and has never encouraged or condoned explicit content on its platform—and it clearly communicates its rules to fans and creators. It is ironic that Passes is facing scrutiny for the content on its site given the total lack of meaningful content moderation from certain of its competitors. Regardless, the company cannot stand for such falsehoods to recklessly circulate in the court of public opinion.

Passes is proud of its community of thousands of creators. It takes very seriously both its role as a prominent platform in the creator community and its responsibility to keep that community safe.

Home Companion Robot Mobo to Debut Globally and Open Pre-orders as AiMOGA Showcases Its Robot Family at the 2026 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit

Published

WUHU, China, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI becomes part of everyday family life, how will it transform the homes of the future? The 2026 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit, co-presented by CHERY, OMODA|JAECOO, ICAUR, Lepas and AiMOGA, took place in Wuhu from October 19 to 24 under the theme “DRIVE TO THE NEXT VIBE.” During the summit, AiMOGA Robotics officially launched Mobo—its consumer-grade humanoid robot for home companionship—and opened global pre-orders. The launch took embodied AI into the home, extending proven automotive-grade technologies and supply-chain capabilities beyond vehicle manufacturing to a broader ecosystem of intelligent living.

Meet Mobo: A Thoughtful, Expressive and Caring Companion. A key highlight of the summit, Mobo makes its global debut with pre-orders opening worldwide. Having previously appeared at the World Robot Conference and the World Manufacturing Convention, it has already drawn strong interest. Powered by AiMOGA’s proprietary MoAgent AI brain, Mobo goes beyond rigid single-command responses: it independently breaks down complex instructions and plans long-horizon tasks, turning Q&A into goal-driven assistance. Designed for family life, it combines spatial perception with multimodal interaction—autonomous navigation, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and voice-plus-vision conversation that identifies objects and makes companionship feel natural. With a full-body motion system of 22 degrees of freedom, it delivers smooth movements and dance routines, remembers each family member’s habits and preferences, and builds in privacy protection from the outset—a companion blending advanced technology with warmth and care.

Bringing Automotive Expertise to Robotics. Unlike start-ups building from scratch, AiMOGA draws on the extensive automotive engineering experience and global R&D network of CHERY and its brands—OMODA|JAECOO, ICAUR and Lepas—adapting proven technologies, including high-precision environmental perception and automotive-specific large AI models, for robotics. During the summit, its full robot portfolio will appear in zones recreating real-world applications: police robots patrolling mock traffic settings, healthcare robots guiding visitors, Mornine acting as an AI presenter, the Argos Pro quadruped demonstrating following and load carrying, and Mobo offering hands-on demonstrations as pre-orders open. AiMOGA already operates robots across more than 100 use cases—from dealerships and retail to traffic management, security, education and healthcare—with cumulative deliveries exceeding 3,000 units across more than 60 countries and regions.

Beyond Automotive Manufacturing. As these brands move from vehicles into robotics, they extend accumulated R&D, supply-chain and manufacturing expertise to wider intelligent applications; automotive–robotics integration provides the industrial foundation, while the MoAgent brain supports understanding, planning and execution. Guided by the philosophy “In Somewhere, For Somewhere, Be Somewhere,” CHERY, OMODA|JAECOO, ICAUR, Lepas and AiMOGA are bringing intelligent technology into everyday life and delivering meaningful support to people worldwide.
