"It is with great sadness and disappointment that I address this hacking issue. To my fellow actresses whose privacy has been invaded - my heart goes out to you. I'm so disappointed that there are people in the world who feel the need to commit these criminal acts. Some of these pictures are fake, my own included. Regardless - I ask you all - do not share the links. Don't even look at the photos. Just let people have the privacy they deserve. Integrity is sacred."

Many in Hollywood are defending their hacked colleagues:
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.

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.

How on earth is the villain the celebrity here? I know humanity loves to bond over shitting on the rich and famous but have a fucking soul.

What the fuck is on your phone? I'm sure you got some shit. Everyone is entitled to parts of their lives they don't have to share with you.

Those naked pictures of the actresses are outrageous and unacceptable. How do you find them?
