Jennifer Lawrence, along with dozens of other celebrities, was one of the first victims of a hacking scandal that has rocked Hollywood. Most recently, Nick Hogan, son of wrestler Hulk Hogan, became the first male victim of the scandal.
But Jennifer doesn’t want to refer to it as a scandal. She says it’s a sex crime. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Hunger Games actress says that just because she’s in the public eye doesn’t mean she asked for this to happen to her. It’s her body, and no one asked for her consent when spreading these naked images.
She’s absolutely right.
As I said in a previous article reporting the leaks, “These women took pictures for their own personal use, in private, and whatever their intentions with them might have been is none of our business. It is not okay to look at them because these are celebrities. It is not okay to look at them because they got hacked an deserve it. Because they don’t. It is not okay to invade any woman’s privacy, whether she is famous or not, and use her intimate images for your own personal gain or joke around with friends about how Kate Upton should have had a better password, or Jennifer Lawrence should never have taken those pictures. It’s criminal, and wrong, if you look at it, you are part of the problem.”
JLaw also says she began to write an apology in response to the leaked photos, but then couldn’t finish it because she doesn’t “have anything to say I’m sorry for.” She also goes on to say that she was in a long-distance relationship (with Nicholas Hoult) for four years and, in that situation, your boyfriend is either “going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.”
