OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s sister, Annie Altman, has filed a lawsuit against her brother that alleges he sexually abused her.
Previously, Annie, 30, has gone public with allegations against her brothers Sam, 39, and Jack Altman, 34. She has accused them of abusing her sexually and physically, getting her shadowbanned on the internet, and hacking her wifi and internet accounts.
In a statement shared on X on Tuesday (January 7), Sam was joined by brothers Jack and Max Altman and their mother Connie Gibstine in a joint statement that rejected the allegations in Annie’s lawsuit and said they have been doing everything possible to support her through her struggles with mental health, but she has continued to ask for more money and level false allegations against them.
So far, they had not responded to her conduct but have not been forced to go public in light of the lawsuit, said the statement.

Listing what they had done for Annie, the statement read: “Over the years, we’ve tried in many ways to support Annie and help her find stability, following professional advice on how to be supportive without enabling harmful behaviors. To give a sense of our efforts, we have given her monthly financial support, directly paid her bills, covered her rent, helped her find employment opportunities, attempted to get her medical help, and have offered to buy her a house through a trust (so that she would have a secure place to live, but not be able to sell it immediately). Via our late father’s estate, Annie receives monthly financial support, which we expect to continue for the rest of her life.”
Despite such support, the brothers and their mother said Annie continues to demand more money. They said that her claims have continued to evolve over time.
