Shein Has Replied After Luigi Mangione’s Face Was Seemingly On Their Website Modeling T-Shirts

Mangione was arrested back in December on suspicion of fatally shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. He is currently being held without bail in New York at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

So, it came as a little shock and surprise this week when people on the internet seemingly came across his face modeling a “Ditsy Floral” T-shirt while on the Shein website.

Here’s a close-up of the shot.

His face was also allegedly seen on an image for a blue striped tee, which this user posted back in March.

“We have stringent standards for all listings on our platform,” they continued, saying they would be “conducting a thorough investigation, strengthening our monitoring processes, and will take appropriate action against the vendor in line with our policies.”

It’s no secret that Mangione has become a bit of a celebrity. Since his arrest, the case has sparked conversation about everything from the alleged corruption of the healthcare system to memes about his looks. Some worry the public spectacle of Mangione, including incidents like this, could interfere with his trial. “Seriously how is this guy supposed to get a fair trial at this point,” one person wrote on X.

Others were concerned about Mangione’s ability to consent to this while incarcerated. “Not sure using someone’s likeness without their permission and while they’re behind bars is really that funny,” another wrote on Instagram.

Some were worried about the potential AI of it all. “We need AI laws asap,” one wrote.

Others were just like “Ummmm, this is weird.”

“What stage of end times is this,” another asked on X.

“This is too Black Mirror coded for my liking,” this person said.

And lastly, this person wrote, “What a strange time to be alive.”
