Manni L. Perez, the actress rumored to be playing Lucia inGrand Theft Auto 6, has deleted her social media. While the move may have been prompted by the behavior of theGTA 6fandom, this remains unconfirmed, and there’s at least one alternative explanation to consider.
Not long after Rockstarshared theGTA 6reveal trailerin early December 2023, fans identified Perez as a potential candidate for the role of Lucia. These theories are largely based on similarities between the actress’s voice and appearance and those of the upcoming game’s co-protagonist.
Perez deleted her long-time Instagram account, MannilPerez, in mid-July 2025. The move prompted some speculation that therumoredGTA 6Lucia actresswas harassed by the fandom over her suspected involvement in the game. However, this may not necessarily be the case, with some social mediareportssuggesting the Instagram account exhibited unusual behavior just prior to being deleted.
Manni Perez’s Instagram Account May Have Been Hacked
According to Twitter user CyberBoiuk, multiple “scammy stories” were posted via Perez’s Instagram account shortly before its removal, suggesting that the actress may have gotten hacked. Game Rant was unable to locate a cached version of the profile to verify this. In general,hacking incidents involving popular Instagram accountsare relatively common, so this theory sounds well within the realm of possibility. It remains unclear whether Perez has any intention of returning to Instagram in the foreseeable future. Profiles using her name can also be found on other social media platforms, but these are believed to be impostors, according to the actress’s previously shared Instagram Stories.
While Perez remains the most widely speculated candidate for the role of Lucia, the identity of the actor portraying the other protagonist is less clear. However, Game Rant previouslyidentified Gregory Joseph Connors as a possible candidate forGTA 6’s Jason, partly because he had listed a “lead” role in an unspecified Rockstar Games project targeting a 2025 release in a now-deleted CV. This was back when the project was still targeting a 2025 launch before getting delayed to late May 2026.
When Could GTA 6 Confirm Its Main Cast of Actors?
Grand Theft Autogames have historically avoided announcing their voice cast ahead of release. The most notable exception wasGTA: Vice City, whichconfirmedRay Liotta as the voice of Tommy Vercetti shortly before its late October 2002 launch. However, Liotta was already a well-known Hollywood actor at the time, and associating his name with the project offered clear promotional value. With no such incentives this time around, Rockstar likely won’t be announcing theGTA 6main cast of actors ahead of the game’s release.
