Jennifer Lawrence has addressed the naked pictures of her that were leaked via a large-scale hacking in August. The actress was one of the first of over 100 celebrities to have been targeted in the scandal.
Numerous photographs of Lawrence were distributed online, in what her publicist at the time called ‘a flagrant violation of privacy’, adding that ‘the authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.’‘I was just so afraid. I didn’t know how this would affect my career,’ she told Vanity Fair.
‘Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world.’ The 24-year-old decided not to release a statement over the incident because ‘every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry’.
‘I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.’
