**Chennai, India – January 8, 2025** – Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has vehemently denied allegations of child sexual abuse levied against him by his sister in a lawsuit. The lawsuit, reported by CNBC, claims the abuse began in 1997 and continued until 2006, causing significant mental distress.
In a statement posted on X, Altman described the allegations as “utterly untrue” and expressed the immense pain the situation has caused his family. He stated that his family has provided his sister with substantial financial and medical support, but that her demands for more money have fueled escalating accusations.
These accusations, according to Altman’s statement, also include claims of financial abuse and internet censorship against other family members. The lawsuit alleges improper withholding of their father’s 401k funds, hacking of her Wi-Fi, and “shadowbanning” from platforms including ChatGPT, Twitter, and others.
The statement, signed by Altman, his brothers, and their mother, maintains that his sister’s claims have evolved over time and that the most recent allegations include incidents where Altman was over the age of 18. Altman attributed his sister’s actions to underlying mental health challenges and her refusal of conventional treatment.
