The celebrity world was shocked recently when hundreds of private nude images of stars were hacked and leaked by an anonymous person, spreading quickly online for the world to see. While the FBI get in on the hunt for the hacker, many stars have commented on this violation of privacy, sharing their thoughts on the nude photo scandal that is creating countless headlines.
Cameron thinks the hacker needs to be held responsible for their crime: “Whoever has done it, they will be caught and made examples of. This can happen to anyone. If these guys can do it to this group of people then everyone’s vulnerable to it. I think that people really need to look at … how would they feel if it happened to them?”
Jason Segel
Jason thinks people are taking it less serious because celebrities are involved: “What happened in real life is a terrible crime. And it’s very easy when you use the word “celebrity” to take away the human aspect but there is an actual person with a life, you know.”
Lena Dunham
Lena commented that it’s a huge violation: “The way in which you share your body must be a CHOICE. Support these women and do not look at these pictures. Seriously, do not forget that the person who stole these pictures and leaked them is not a hacker: they’re a sex offender.”
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Mary was a victim of the leak and said thought it was “creepy”: “To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves. Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked.”
Seth Rogen
Seth believes it shouldn’t be tolerated: “Posting pics hacked from someone’s cell phone is really no different than selling stolen merchandise. I obviously am not comparing women to merchandise. Just legally speaking, it shouldn’t be tolerated to repost stolen pics.”
