Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has spoken out publicly for the first time since her nude photos were stolen and posted online, angrily criticizing the leak as a “sex crime,” reported by Emirates 24|7. In retaliation, hackers posted two leaked nude images of her on her Wikipedia page on Tuesday night.
However, the photos were removed within 20 minutes of being posted. Jennifer Lawrence said she felt insulted and was afraid of how the stolen photos would affect her career. She doesn’t think hackers have the right to do this just because she is a public figure and an actress. It doesn’t mean she “asked for it.” Jennifer Lawrence said it was her body and posting photos of her body should be her choice. The fact that it wasn’t the actress’s choice is absolutely disgusting, says Jennifer Lawrence. She added that she can’t believe “we even live in this world.”
Hackers post nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence
Last month, hackers posted nude photos of more than a dozen Hollywood celebrities on social media after stealing them from Apple’s iCloud in what the tech giant called a “targeted attack.” “This is not a scandal. This is a sex crime,” said Jennifer Lawrence. “This is sexual assault. This is disgusting. The law needs to change, and we need to change. That’s why these websites are held accountable.”
Jennifer Lawrence believes that the fact that someone can be sexually exploited and abused is a result of the desire to profit from it. “I can’t take it anymore. I just can’t imagine being so disconnected from humanity. I can’t imagine being so thoughtless, so careless, so empty inside,” Jennifer Lawrence said.
Celebrities threaten to sue Google
Jennifer Lawrence said she sent stolen photos to her then-boyfriend while they were in a long-distance relationship. At first, she wanted to write a statement, but everything she tried to write made her cry or get angry. “I started writing an apology, but I have nothing to apologize for. I was in a loving, healthy, wonderful relationship for four years. It was a long distance relationship, and either your boyfriend is going to watch porn or he’s going to watch you.”
More than a dozen Hollywood celebrities have threatened to sue Google for failing to handle the leak. A letter from prominent Tinseltown lawyer Marty Singer, published by the Hollywood Reporter, warned that they could seek $100 million in compensation from the American online search giant for failing to remove the photos.
