J.Law Calls Nude Photo Hack 'Sex Crime'
“It’s my body, and it should be my choice.”

Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence has opened up for the first time about the leaking of her nude photos. “It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime,” she says in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. She had nearly as much anger for those who looked at the nude photos as the hackers themselves. “Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame,” she said. Lawrence spoke candidly about the photos, explaining “I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he’s going to look at you.” She also criticized anyone who argues that these types are leaks are what you sign up for as a celebrity. “Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this,” she said in the interview. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting.”
