Hacker leaks nude photos of stars including Jennifer Lawrence

Naked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and several other celebrities have reportedly been leaked online by a hacker.

The Hunger Games actress’s spokesperson strongly condemning the “violation of [her] privacy”, confirming that the leaked photos were authentic.

Lawrence was one of a group of Hollywood celebrities who have apparently been targeted in a large-scale security breach. Unsubstantiated reports claim that the photographs were obtained as a result of an iCloud hacking.

The source of the leak has claimed to have obtained as many as 60 private images of Lawrence, some of which allegedly show her nude.

A representative for Lawrence has confirmed the authenticity of the images, threatening legal action against anyone who posts or publishes the stolen photos online.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence,” her rep told BuzzFeed.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kate Upton and Ariana Grande were among other stars named in a supposed ‘master list’ of celebrities who have been affected by this hacking.

Upton’s representatives have said that they are “looking into” claims that she too was a target of the security breach.

Meanwhile, Grande’s team have told BuzzFeed: “The photos are completely fake.”
