After Sunday evening’s massive photo leak involving many celebrities’ (alleged) private photos, the internet pretty much lost it. Everyone’s yelling at each other from different sides of the room. These photos were intended to be private and were taken by or for significant others. There’s nothing wrong with private selfies, and these women should not be shamed. They are victims, just as male celebrities would be if it happened to them. (I am in no way advocating for men to be hacked, just pointing out that only female celebrities have been victimized in this case.)
There are many updates to yesterday’s post. Let’s do bullet points:
* As discussed already, Jennifer Lawrence’s rep says JLaw has already contacted authorities. Kate Upton is following suit. Upton’s rep told Us that the published photos are “an outrageous violation” of Kate’s privacy. TMZ heard from an FBI spokesperson, who says the agency is “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”
* The original hacking story from Buzzfeed said the hackers exploited an iCloud vulnerability. Kirsten Dunst is fully on board with this theory:
Thank you iCloud
