I agree with Joan, she's a stuck up, self entitled BITCH.

I wish this thread had been around when Patricia Arquette referred to these leaks as a molestation against these women. (A sentiment I agree with, but one that would surely have risen hell here).

That's equally ridiculous and dumb and I'm sure molestation survivors would disagree with such foolish statements.

Kristen Steward equated the paparazzi to being raped. She soon learned how dumb she really is!

I think the problem here is that some have a very set view of what a "sex crime" is, and if it doesn't involve violence, rape, or forced physical contact, it can't be called a sex crime. Once again, I'm not here to pass judgment on how one person feels about something done against her, but I think, given the circumstances, it makes sense for some to call this a sex crime. It's a crime, and sex is very likely at least one motivation behind it. Saying that it is a sex crime isn't equating it to rape, molestation, sex trafficking, or any other much more serious crime. A person who collects child porn without ever laying a hand on a child would be committing a sex crime, no? I don't understand why the "sex crime" label has to mean one specific set of violent crimes.

If someone rear-ended my car, that would be a CRIME, but me calling it a CRIME doesn't mean I'm numbering myself among those who have been raped, shot at, set on fire, stolen from, etc.

Well said. I feel like some people are harping on the term "sex crime" as an excuse to hate on her for speaking out. Even if she'd used another term, I think she'd be getting the same amount of vitriol because at the end of the day most of the people attacking her think that she deserved it.

Images from up to 200,000 teenagers leaked online. Although in this case, it apparently wasn't hacking, it was phishing.

"It is suspected, but not so far proven, that those behind the scam are linked to those responsible for the collection and posting in August of personal and often nude photos taken by hundreds of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian."

Oh my god.

This is so gross.

Interesting discussion.

The fact that the photos were hacked is the issue. Whether they were nude shots or pictures of her on a picnic with a bunch of nuns-it doesn't matter.

Having said that ,it raises the fact that putting stuff into cyberspace carries risks and we all have to be more mindful of this as actions have consequences.

What is also interesting is her statement that she sent those photos to her then long distance boyfriend ' "It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."

So she feels that she needs to do that or he'll look at porn.Don't quite know what to make of that. Wonder if he sent similar photos to her ?

New sites could always spring up again, of course.

Again, Lawrence's (admittedly clumsy) description of what happened is irrelevant. She didn't do anything wrong. The people who stole her photos did. Those are the "twats" who should "go away." Those are the ones who should be labeled bitches, attention seekers and six year olds. She didn't put her business out there for the public to consume. Some pervert who decided she isn't human did and that person is being treated like their behavior is normal while Lawrence is being told to shut up.

We've turned into a culture where we accept predation as the norm and blame normal people for not expecting to be preyed upon. This is all just another version of "If you don't want to be raped then don't wear short skirts" mindset. Normal people are expected to turn themselves into prisoners who sit around the house in a burqua and showering in the dark and having only procreative sex because we've decided that people are no longer entitled to privacy.

I see this in a similar way that I see sex tapes. A lot of celebrities don't want to have them leaked, but they end up leaking and they profit from them in numerous ways sooner or later. Is it right no? But America has become desensitized to this because so many stars these days do it. Mimi, Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, etc. and it just ends up making them more popular at the end of the day, with more notoriety, bankability and media coverage. People don't go on about how these poor women have been exposed and violated. They just see it as a shameful act in which these women should be ashamed of and repentant for. Even though they've been exploited and demeaned. No one is paying for uploading this media -- no one cares about the person who leaked it. It's largely seen as something these women should have used good judgement to not participate in.
