On Sunday, a user of anonymous Internet message board 4chan
posted hundreds of nude photos of some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities,
including actress Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton. The poster claimed
photos of Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande were included, but the
singer/actresses deny that the photos are real.
Representatives and the women themselves have begun issuing
their denials (in the case of Justice and Grande) and confirmations (in the
case of Lawrence and Upton).
A representative for Lawrence confirmed in an
email to Buzzfeed that the images were stolen from the actress' iCloud account.
"This is a flagrant violation of privacy," the
representative said. "The authorities have been contacted and will
prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."
"The way in which you share your body must be a CHOICE.
Support these women and do not look at these pictures," the
"Girls" creator and star said in a series of tweets Monday.
"Remember, when you look at these pictures you are violating these women
again and again. It's not okay."
She characterized the person who stole the pictures as a
"sex offender," not a hacker.
"The 'don't take naked pics if you don't want them
online' argument is the 'she was wearing a short skirt' of the web. Ugh,"
Dunham wrote.
"The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning
computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile
individuals, and is addressing the matter,” Laura Eimiller, a Los Angeles
spokeswoman for the bureau, told L.A. Now on Monday.
