Tennessee prosecutors have alleged that former NFL linebacker Darron Lee turned to ChatGPT for advice on how to handle and potentially cover up the circumstances surrounding his girlfriend’s death before calling 911, according to court testimony and messages shown in court.
According to local news outlet KTVC, prosecutors say Lee exchanged dozens of messages with the AI tool over a multi‑day period in the days surrounding the Feb. 5, 2025, death of his 29‑year‑old girlfriend, Gabriella Perpétuo, in the couple’s home in Ooltewah, Tennessee.
