[WATCH] Ellen Adarna’s nude photos leak online

First, her boxing video went viral. Now, Ellen Adarna’s nude photos from a magazine shoot is making the rounds online.

Esquire Philippines, which featured Ellen on its April 2014 cover, has condemned the unauthorized distribution of the said photos taken by popular lensman Jake Versoza.

‘Blatant violation of privacy’

“Esquire Philippines and Summit Media condemn the unauthorized distribution of photographs of Ellen Adarna that were originally taken from a shoot the magazine had staged for its April 2014 edition. She had agreed to be featured in Esquire Philippines with the understanding that no nude photographs taken of her then would be published or disseminated,” Esquire’s press statement said.

The “violation of her (Ellen’s) privacy and her right to dignity” has prompted Esquire to seek legal action on the issue.

“The recent circulation of such sensitive photos without her (or our) knowledge or consent is in blatant violation of her privacy, and her right to dignity. We share her outrage; we are deeply angry; we will not hesitate to take the appropriate legal action.”

Esquire added that it had nothing to do with the sensitive photos which leaked online.

“The images in question, staged with photographer Jake Versoza, were never used in the magazine itself, and in most cases, were never even in the possession of the magazine. The images we did use from the shoot were treated to make sure any sensitive areas were artfully covered or obscured, as had been the agreement.”

Ellen reacts

Esquire is discouraging people from sharing and spreading the said photos.

“It is apparent as well to Esquire magazine that its own rights, as well as that of photographer Jake Versoza, have been infringed. We will take the proper measured action to protect its rights. Most importantly, we urge all not to participate in the dissemination of sensitive images that were not intended for public consumption by the one person whose rights and dignity above all else’s should be respected at this time.”

After the photos leaked online, Ellen took to Instagram and said, “Yesterday I received good and bad news. Today will be a f******g good day. Moving on… I’ll just keep telling myself that in the end everything is gonna be okay, if it’s not ok it’s not the end (my mantra since 15) #neverfailsme hahaha Have a good day y’all! Good Morning!”

She also posted the quote, “I honestly see no point in dwelling on what could have been. You either make it happen, or you simply chase a greater opportunity.”
