Copyright is not ownership. You can own something, but not hold the copyright to it.
Personality rights are also not copyright. Disregarding both AI and the recent ruling, if someone takes a photograph of you, you do not hold the copyright to it, the photographer does. If the photographer then does something with that image that harms your reputation you may be able to sue.

Lying is not a legal defense.
Gotta prove it.

Do you? That depends on your local laws and regulations.
