Jennifer Lawrence graced the cover of Vanity Fair’s November issue, so the magazine reached out to the gorgeous actress to let her speak out regarding the iCloud hacking scandal, whereby hackers stole photos of Jen and posted them all over the internet, exposing the unwilling star.
“It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That’s why these Web sites are responsible. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside.”
The two most outrageous comments made about the photos both put blame on Jen herself: The first is that it is all a part of fame, and secondly, if she doesn’t want to have naked photos going around, don’t take naked photos.
She adamantly points out, “Anybody who looked at those pictures, you’re perpetuating a sexual offence. You should cower with shame. Even people who I know and love say, ‘Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures.’ I don’t want to get mad, but at the same time I’m thinking, I didn’t tell you that you could look at my naked body.”
Jen rightfully identifies this as a crime. No permission was given to anyone to look at her naked body, and she has no reason to apologize for being naked in the first place, being the accomplished, successful and smart woman she is.
She thought about saying sorry, but she says, “Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don’t have anything to say I’m sorry for. 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.”
This reminds us all that this scandal isn’t going to bring Jen down. You go, girl!
