Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, More Celebs Have Alleged Nude Photos Leak

[Kittylady]

Naked or dressed, the sheer # of selfies Lawrence has on her phone is very Kardashian.

But at least she took them with the assumption of privacy, whereas Kim K splatters hers around like explosive diarrhoea in a toilet bowl.

[A*O]

The issue here isn't a few nudie pics or quaint uses of electrical hair styling devices, it's the fact that they were so comprehensively hacked and distributed to a waiting world. Go on, admit it, you looked. Celebs must know they are going to be targeted for anything even slightly "scandalous" no matter how clever they think their firewalls, passwords, etc are so if they don't want their tits splashed over the Internet don't take the bloody pics. Duh. It may not be fair but that's how it works.

It's creepy to me that the underage gymnast was taking pics like this. I guess I'm getting old and it's a totally different world. I'm having a "get off my lawn" moment.

While I'm not saying celebs shouldn't take pictures like this (and I certainly don't think it's their fault), celebs live in a different world than us. People are out there, actively searching for ways to get dirt on celebrities. Telephoto lenses, digging through garbage, bribing housekeepers and doctors office receptionists. It goes on and on. It's not right, but it happens all the time. They have to be aware of everything they do. Look at what happens when they walk down the street with their kids. If that happened to one of us, it would be the scariest thing ever. Plus, this isn't the first time this has happened. All the old sex tapes, Blake Lively's pics, ScarJo, jennifer Aniston sunbathing, Brad and Gwyneth naked vacation, etc. It sucks, but someone is always trying to find something on a celeb.

It seems in some ways technology and the ability to abuse it is moving faster than people's ability to recognise or consider the risks to their personal life. Yes celebs are the ones who have been hacked here and that's what is getting the attention but lets be honest, something like this could happen to any of us and our most intimate moments, from the moment of a child entering the world to how it got there in the first place, could end up in the hands of a stranger who was doing it simply "for the lulz" and be disseminated or abused in any way that they choose.

I only turned off the Skydrive on my phone because I'm on a pre-pay (don't use it enough to justify a contract) and turned off anything that might inadvertently nerf my balance. It never occurred to me to do it because some freak might hack into it to see if I had any personal porn on there.

I just scrolled through the photos on my phone. Boy will hackers be disappointed.

[Mel1973]

I just scrolled through mine... boy, will they be delighted! If they like dic pics, jack off videos and pictures of me in various states of undress. AND I'm not gonna stop either...

Exactly. So people know what Jennifer Lawrence looks like naked (although her role as Mystique should have given a strong clue). The world will keep turning. I have not lost one iota of respect for any of the celebs caught up in this. They weren't strangling kittens or working with ISIS - they were celebrating some truly spectacular physiques. And I know that Jessica Findlay Brown is probably mortified right now, but BEST GIRLFRIEND EVER!!!

There is a separate security issue, too, that people should spend more time and energy on. It is VERY, VERY easy to hack someone's Apple, Yahoo accounts, etc. and really mess up their lives - whether they took naked pictures or not. An author from Wired just wrote an article on how hackers got into this Apple account - wiped his iPhone complately, wiped his iPad completely. He lost all the photos of his child's first year of life. And photos from the last year of one of his parents. And the only reason the hackers did this was so they could temporarily take over his Twitter account for a few laughs. So, stop tut-tutting people's naked photos and start realizing that someone could seriously f*ck up your lives on a whim.

ITA...it used to be those dirty polaroids were hidden in a cigar box in the back of the closet, now they're on someone's phone, hard drive or in the cloud. No photo albums of the kids, just show off their pics on your phone or on facebook. No more filing cabinets full of bank statements, tax info and cancelled checks. Instead of breaking into your house to get your secrets, all someone has to do is hack your devices/online accounts. And since I have no dirty pictures, I'm more concerned about someone wiping out my bank accounts/credit cards etc.

It is scary what hackers can do. I could give a fuck if they put a naked pic of me out there (my face isn't in mine) but if they take my money, I'm in real trouble.

I haven't seen any pics from this hacking scandal. I don't know if I should keep on not caring or if I'm missing out..

I know right? That's exactly what I'm wondering.

Not really. Jlaw has a great figure. But we knew that already. Then, there were a bunch of close ups of lady bits and penises in eyes and at that point, I stopped looking, because frankly, close ups of lady or men parts or lady and men parts coupled do nothing at all for me. Not the most beautiful parts of the anatomy. Then, apparently, there are photos of people putting things in parts (I only saw one of those) and that I don't think is at all appealing either. So, unless you want to see a bunch of closeups of bits and parts and appendages, you aren't missing one single thing.

These are my observations

• Kristen Ritter - there were about three shots. I give this collection a 9 out of 10 because a) I absolutely love Kristen Ritter, b) I love dark hair, and c) I love people who rock it 70's style.
• J Law - 9 out of 10; as goofy and uninhibited as you would expect.
• Jessica Brown Findlay - 9 out of 10; best gf ever
• Mary Elizabeth Winstead - 4 out of 10. I love her, but the shots look like they were taken at one of those places on the boardwalk where you dress up in old cowboy clothing. And shot with a 1950's polaroid camera that only does shades of yellow
• Kate Upton - 7 out of 10. The expository nature of the shots was a perfect 10, but she's just not my type
• Kirsten Dunst - 6 out of 10. Three points deducted for being Kirsten Dunst.
• The women of Glee - 9 out of 10. One point deducted because I had never heard of any of them.
• Victoria Justice - 5 out of 10. Shots were very revealing, but gets a 5 point deduction for lying about them being fake when she was WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES in multiple shots.
• Ariana Grande - see "Victoria Justice"
• Kaley Cuoco - 3 out of 10. Who keeps a GIF like that?
• There were very few people of color in the shots provided, which proves that hackers might be bigots. I hope that Al Sharpton will lead a protest about this.
• There weren't nearly enough guys in these shots - while I am a straight male, I feel like I need to represent for my gay friends and the straight women out there.

As a straight male, can you tell me what the appeal of the close up lady parts shots are? Mr. Tulip doesn't find them appealing, but they must appeal to someone, or at least women think they do. Any insight would be appreciated.

It's just like how I enjoy looking at photos of beautiful places that I may never get to visit. These men know they will never get there.
