It is not a good day to be a woman in Hollywood. An online message board leaked a number of Jennifer Lawrence nude photos, along with scandalous photos of a number of other celebrities from the entertainment and sports world.

When the leaks first surfaced, it was reported that there were also videos to go along with the photos.
Of course, the authenticity of the leaks surfacing online have yet to be confirmed.
Everything first surfaced on a photo sharing message board.
Other celebrities whose photos have leaked include United States goalie Hope Solo, Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, pop star Ariana Grande, super model Kate Upton and many, many more.
There was even a list that had nearly 100 names that the hacker claimed to have photos of including Kim Kardashian, Hillary Duff, Gabrielle Union and Victoria Justice.
As far as Victoria Justice is concerned, the photos are fake.
These so called nudes of me are FAKE people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended*

However, Mary E. Winstead, who is also on the “master list” of names that were hacked, simply sent out her sympathy to everyone else who has been hit with the invasion of privacy.
The big question is: How did the hacker get their hands on them?
It is possible that the iCloud storage system failed the celebrities and they were easily accessible with the proper knowledge on how to uncover such information. It will be very interesting to see how the celebrities whose privacy was affected respond to the mass leak of photos.
For Jennifer Lawrence, who has been the biggest victim of the mass leak, it will be an embarrassing moment that she will have to put behind her as she looks to continue her career in the spotlight.
For the hacker who is releasing all of the photos, there is a good chance he could face prosecution if it is ever discovered who the person responsible turns out to be.
