Actor Zach Braff publicly denied widespread online rumours claiming he was romantically involved with an AI chatbot, clarifying through Instagram Stories that the speculation was unfounded. The rumour gained traction after a December 2025 episode of the podcast I Need You Guys, where hosts and guest Kumail Nanjiani discussed a vague Hollywood rumour about an unnamed TV star allegedly dating a chatbot, prompting listeners to speculate that Braff was the subject. The situation intensified when the gossip account Deuxmoi reposted a clip from the podcast, fueling viral discussion across social media. Braff stated that the claim was false and suggested the confusion may have stemmed from a fictional storyline in the newly released Season 10 of the NBC series Scrubs, in which he stars.
