THat's all I am saying. Not arguing her rights were voilated, but for someone who sells sex, have a realistic expectation that you will probably get hacked for nudes. Take them with your face covered or something.

Instead, we should be saying “punish these assholes stealing this content to the full extent of the law”.

Yes, there are plenty of reasons including shielding your child from potential pedophiles.

I agree but doesnt shes absolved of blame. She is partly responsible for her predicament, assuming any of this is real. It feels staged and fake.

That’s where we disagree. If I take a nude to send to my boyfriend, from my own personal phone, the expectation of privacy shouldn’t be any different than if I was handing him a Polaroid. Is the likelihood higher as a celebrity? Sure. But that shouldn’t exempt her from a right to some privacy. She wasn’t posting them on social media.

The law is starting to catch up with “revenge porn” laws in most places. But blaming her for even taking the nudes is silly. If anything, it lessens the blame on the a-hole(s) who stole them. And it shouldn’t. They’re stealing and trying to commit blackmail.

I’m not at all. I enjoy nudes and I enjoy schradenfreud (sp?). I just don’t see the point in getting upset when this happens over and over and over and people are shocked when it happens, yet again.

You can definitely tell she's a redhead.

I disagree on the quality. Nice C cups with upturned nipples. Always a winner.

And there it is. This is nothing but a PR stunt, she couldn't even contain the excitement by outing her intentions in the statement.

Now that’s definitely a possibility. I won’t discount that.

If she had initially posted them for public consumption on a public forum, sure.

But having to release them because someone has hacked her personal electronic device/cloud with the attempt to blackmail her? Nah. That’s 100% on the criminal who is trying to blackmail her.

Lesson here is dont leave nudes on your phone

I take my nudes (of me) and print them out at work and then put them in a binder for posterity. It's safer than leaving them in the cloud for hackers.
