Naked Jennifer Lawrence Photos Leak Online

Naked photos and videos of high profile celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence have leaked online in an apparent large-scale hack.

On Sunday afternoon (31st August) the names of 101 mostly female celebrities were published on image sharing site 4chan along with highly personal photos.

Although the list was swiftly removed from the site, the images have since been circulated on file-sharing and photo sites.

A spokesman for Lawrence said legal action will be taken against those circulating the stolen images: “This is a flagrant violation of privacy.

“The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that the photos of her were real and slammed the leak. She wrote on Twitter:

Other celebrities on the ‘nude list’ include Kim Kardashian, Kelly Brook, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Kirsten Dunst, Aubrey Plaza and Winona Ryder.

Ariana Grande’s spokesperson has claimed that her intimate photos are fake and fellow singer Victoria Justice also denied the photos were of her:

Glee star Becca Tobin, who also appears on the list, tweeted shortly after it was made public:

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has also issued an apology after he posted some of the censored and uncensored images on his site.

He told his six million Twitter followers: “I acted in haste just to get the post up and didn't really think things through. I'm sorry.

“At work we often have to make quick decisions. I made a really bad one today and then made it worse. I feel awful and am truly sorry.

“Upon further reflection and just sitting with my actions, I don't feel comfortable even keeping the censored photos up. I am removing them.”
