Manni L. Perez resembles Lucia Caminos quite a bit, which is one of the major reasons for her being speculated as the character's possible actor. Character models are often based on their actors, a good example of which is the three GTA 5 protagonists themselves.

Although this doesn't necessarily mean its an NDA related to GTA 6, but actors who have worked with Rockstar Games before, like Ned Luke (who played Michael De Santa in GTA 5) and Roger Clark (who played Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2) have suggested in interviews that the studio's NDAs are pretty strict.

Notably, Manni L. Perez has reportedly deleted her Instagram account a few days before this writing (July 12, 2025). The exact reason is currently unknown, but some are speculating that this might be related to any NDAs.
