The singer Demi Lovato may have been hacked, with alleged nude photos of her reportedly appearing on her own Snapchat account.
On Thursday evening, what appeared to be a series of nude photos of the singer (but could of course be cleverly edited fakes) were posted on her Snapchat account with a link to a Discord chat room.
“Join this discord server for my nudes,” read the initial message on Lovato’s Snapchat.
The message offered a swipe-up link to “The Chuckling Squad” account, asking fans to sign up to their Discord server to see more images.
The pictures, genuine or not, were swiftly removed from Lovato’s Snapchat, however inevitably versions of the images are now circulating online, and the hack is being reported by numerous mainstream media outlets including the Daily Mail and Metro in the U.K..
