Suzanne Somers’ Friends Beg Widower Alan Hamel to End AI Project: “Let Her Rest in Peace”

Friends of the beloved Suzanne Somers — who died two years ago at 76 — are begging her widower, Alan Hamel, to let her rest in peace amid his efforts to ‘bring her back to life’ with an AI-powered clone.

Hamel, 88, has confirmed he’s been developing up a lifelike digital clone of the Three’s Company actress — calling it a high-tech “tribute.”

But sources tell The Enquirer Suzanne’s pals aren’t as supportive of the concept.

“We understand he wants to keep her memory alive,” one insider says. “But this? This feels more like a business scam than a loving memorial.”

Another friend condemned it, saying: “We all want to remember Suzanne — but not like this. This isn’t legacy. This is cyber-sales.”

Shocked friends fear that Hamel is only getting started, with rumors swirling that he’s dreaming up new “episodes” of Three’s Company — starring AI Suzanne and a proposed John Ritter hologram.

“He’s literally rebooting the dead,” says one insider.

While most of those close to Suzanne are appalled, at least one pal is standing by the bot-loving Hamel: “This is why Suzanne loved him — Alan is a businessman. Honestly, we were shocked he didn’t sell tickets to her funeral.”
