Jennifer Lawrence breaks her silence over leaked nude pictures: ‘It wasn’t a scandal. It was a sex crime’

Jennifer Lawrence has finally spoken out about the naked picture leak that happened last month, and she is MAD AS ALL HELL.

Quite rightly as it turns out, because the Hunger Games star was one of the first celebrities to have nude photos leaked from her iCloud – and she’s told Vanity Fair that the incident should not just be seen as an isolated case of hacking.

“It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,” she pointed out. “It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change.”

She also spoke about how afraid she was that the leak would affect her career, and even came close to apologising to the public after it happened.

“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,” she added.

J-Law hit out at the people who searched for her naked snaps online, saying: “Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame.

“Even people who I know and love say, ‘Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.’ I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn’t tell you that you could look at my naked body.”

She talked about having to tell her dad the awful news, explaining that she would’ve given up all the money she earned from The Hunger Games not to have had to make that phone call.

“Fortunately, he was playing golf, so he was in a good mood,” she added.

Jennifer isn’t the only star who’s spoken out against the mass hack, dubbed The Fappening – Ariana Grande was the first to break cover, promising her fans that the woman in the pictures wasn’t her, while Emma Watson spoke about her disappointment that famous women were still being unfairly targeted by hackers.
