Massive hacking scandal leaks Hollywood female celebs’ nude photos

September 1, 2014 Showbiz News

A massive hack attack has resulted in the spread of nude photos reportedly belonging to Hollywood’s various femme fatales, including pop artist Rihanna and Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence.

According to sources, the newest scandal targeting Hollywood’s actresses and other famous females first originated in the popular Internet forum 4chan when the perpetrator(s) released nude images of Lawrence as well as other female celebs.

The hackers were allegedly able to retrieve the various photos due to a glitch in the social media app iCloud which allowed them to access their victims’ cellphones.

Word of the scandal quickly spread online by Sunday.

Later on, a list of victims (101 in all) had also been posted on the Internet. The list records such famous names as Kate Upton, Lea Michele, Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Hillary Duff, Kate Bosworth, and Keke Palmer.

Even female athletes such as Olympians Hope Solo and McKayla Maroney have not been spared, with nude photos allegedly belonging to them also leaked.

Lawrence, star of the ‘Hunger Games’, expressed her indignation via Twitter, saying “It’s so weird and hard how people take your privacy away from you.”

Her agents confirmed the authenticity of the pics and said they are ready to take court action.

Mary Winstead, another actress whose nude photos had been leaked online, sarcastically praised the hackers’ efforts at getting her private photos she had deleted long ago and hoped they “feel great about themselves.”

On the other hand, some stars are claiming that their nude photos are not genuine. ‘Nickelodeon’ actress Victoria Justice tweeted that photos showing her in the nude are fake. Agents of actress-singer Ariana Grande also disowned her nude pics, saying that they are “completely fake.”

Twitter, meanwhile, is closing down accounts that have been spreading the photos. A spokesman declined to comment on the issue.
