There's probably a legal argument that a deepfake of someone doing something scandalous (eg starring in pornography) counts as libel. > Libel is a method of defamation expressed by print, writing, pictures, signs, effigies, or any communication embodied in physical form that is injurious to a person's reputation, exposes a person to public hatred, contempt or ridicule, or injures a person in his/her business or profession. [1] A pornographic deepfake is certainly a "defamation expressed by [...] picture [...] that is injurious to a person's reputation" insofar as it creates a false impression about the person which is detrimental to their reputation.
